Having beautiful furniture isn’t enough. If you don’t know how to arrange them, it will not do your furniture justice. When arranging your furniture at home, here are a few rules you might want to follow: 1. Don’t just push all your furniture against your walls. Pushing all of them against a wall is a common mistake people make. If you have a big space, it can emphasize how spacious your space is and can make it look bare and uninviting. What you would want to do is create a focal area. Bring your furniture closer to the room to have a good flow.  2. Create “zones”. When you have a big space, you can try filling it up by creating zones. When creating zones, you bring your furniture closer together. Forinstance, you can add a sitting area in your living room and a reading nook in a corner if there is still some space. That will give your living room more dimension. 3. Size and scale are important.  When buying from a Kamloops furniture store, take int...

The appliances that have big doors like the oven, dishwasher or refrigerator shoul...
