Whether you’re moving into a new home or giving your current space a fresh look, furniture placement can feel overwhelming. But the truth is, there’s a simple, no-stress way to arrange your furniture that blends function, comfort, and aesthetics. And we’re here to break it down for you.

We gathered insights from the best home interior designers in Chennai to help you create a space that feels balanced, beautiful, and totally you.

Let the View Lead

Whether it’s your balcony, pooja shelf, or that breezy window facing the east, let that be the focal point. Arrange your furniture around what makes the space feel most alive. And if you follow Vastu, align furniture placements accordingly as it shapes both energy and aesthetics.

Storage Is Sacred

We need space for everything. Wedding crockery, winter quilts, and of course the Tupperwares. So choose beds with storage, ottomans that open up, or diwans that double up as trunks. Bonus points if it hides the clutter and looks classy doing it.

Go Symmetrical

Balance just feels right. Place two chairs across a sofa or get twin lamps on either side of the bed. Symmetry creates a calming energy. A kind of architectural pairing our homes have always loved.

Float It

Who said furniture has to hug the wall? Float your sofa or sectional in the middle of the room to create a social island. Add a rug and a handcrafted center table to bring the whole look together.

Drawing Room

Arrange seating to make talking easy. That’s what the drawing room was born for. Keep sofas and chairs close enough to pass the snacks, and use floor cushions or poufs if you need extra spots for guests.

Hack Your Way in Small Rooms

Indian apartments aren’t always roomy. So go vertical. Think tall shelves, wall-hung units, and slim wardrobes. Folding furniture and nesting tables also work wonders when you’re short on space but high on hosting.

Always Measure

Leave about 2.5 feet (30 inches) for walkways, and 15–18 inches between sofas and center tables, so people can stretch their legs without knocking things over.

Side Tables

You’ll always need a place for your phone, water bottle, or the remote. Use compact side tables or stools, It can be wooden, rattan, or even marble-topped, as they pack a punch without taking up much space.

Mix Natural & Artificial Light

Daylight is great, but don’t depend on it alone. Mix ceiling lights with lamps and LED strips to brighten corners and highlight wall art. Trust us, a well-lit home just feels more inviting.

Awkward Layout? Lean into It

Got a long, narrow hall or a slanted wall? Use it! Arrange furniture to create mini zones. A reading nook here, a mandir there. L-shaped sofas or modular seating work beautifully in oddly-shaped rooms.

TV Positioning 101

Avoid placing the TV opposite a window. The glare can be a big problem. Mount it at eye level and keep your seating 8–12 feet away. Want to go fancy? Frame it with a custom TV unit made from Sheesham or teak wood.

The Bed Should Breathe

Leave at least 2 feet on both sides of the bed so you’re not shimmying sideways to get in. And avoid jamming your bed into a corner, as it makes the room feel squished.

Slim Headboards for Cozy Rooms

Don’t crowd a small room with a chunky headboard. Go for slatted wood, cane, or metal designs. They look breezy and stylish, especially if you add soft wall lights or fairy lights around them.

Create a Chill Corner

Got a little extra space in the bedroom or hall? Add a chair, a floor lamp, and a small table to make a cozy corner for reading, journaling, or just scrolling Instagram in peace.

Window Views? Use Them!

If your bedroom has a great view or plenty of sunlight, place the bed right next to it, so you wake up to it. Just make sure the curtains used are appropriate. Blackout for night-time, sheer when it’s golden hour.

For Square Rooms: Center Everything

If your room is almost a square, center the bed and build symmetry around it. Side tables, lamps, maybe even wall art. A large rug under the bed adds a finishing touch and makes everything feel grounded.

Small Bedrooms? Choose Big (but Few) Pieces

Instead of cramming in too many small items, go for one or two larger pieces like a tall wardrobe and a queen bed. It reduces visual clutter and makes the room feel less like a storeroom.

Dining Setup

Keep at least 3 feet around the table for easy movement. A bench on one side saves space and adds character. And if your dining area shares space with the living room, use a jali partition or open shelf to subtly divide.
