2. Furniture
Furniture refers to movable objects intended
to support various human activities such as
seating (e.g., chairs, stools, and sofas), eating
(tables), and sleeping (e.g., beds).
Furniture is also used to hold objects at a
convenient height for work (as horizontal
surfaces above the ground, such as tables and
desks), or to store things

 Function
 Focal point
 Priority
 Symmetry
 Traffic
 Ease of Use

6. Function
Consider how the room is used and
how many people will use it and
what purposes.
That will dictate the type of
furnishings needed and the amount
of seating required.

7. Focal Point :
The art wall – the focal point in the
room.
A room’s focal point can be a
fireplace view, television, art wall.
And the furniture are oriented
around it.
Late 18th century living room
design.

8. Priority
The largest pieces of furniture should
be placed first, such as the sofa in the
living room or the bed in the bedroom.
In most cases this piece should face the
room’s focal point.

9. Symmetry :
Symmetrical arrangements work best for
formal rooms. Asymmetrical arrangements
make a room feel more casual. The most
important rule to remember when
designing the living room is balance

10. Traffic:
The flow of traffic through the room should
be also considered generally the path
between doorways. The path with any large
pieces of furniture should not be blocked.

11. Ease of use:
Modification to furniture could be used to get those at
comfortable position and height. As example wheel
attached chair we use to move it according to our need
and use height adjuster to work smoothly
