Simply moving your dining room table, changing the angle of your couch or mounting the TV on the wall can bring a new, upbeat vibe to your apartment. If you have been putting off rearranging your apartment because you are unsure what to do, we can help. The following are some ways residents of our Chicago apartments can rearrange their furniture.
Go for a Traditional Living Room Layout

Sleek, modern furniture layouts have become extremely popular over the years. Consider breaking from the crowd and go back to a traditional living room layout.

A traditional living room layout involves taking the central part of the room, usually the TV, and making it the focal point. The largest piece of furniture, which happens to be the ottoman or sofa, will be directly across from the TV. All the other furniture, such as the chairs, coffee table, recliners and side table are placed in such a way that the TV or other focal point can be seen no matter where you sit in the room.
Create Separate Areas for Dining and Living

It can be difficult figuring out how to incorporate a dining room setting into your apartment layout if you don’t have a specific area designated for eating. Luckily, you can create separate areas with a little creative thinking.

Create separate areas for dining and living with the help of an area rug. Using a separate area rug to create a designated dining room area and living room area allows you to take a wide open space and break it down into smaller, more manageable areas.
The Wide-Open Layout – Perfect for Entertaining

The wide-open layout is perfect for people who like to host a lot of parties. This layout involves taking the TV and placing it off to the side. All furniture is then taken and gathered in an almost circular setup. This places the focus on people in the room as opposed to the TV.

These layout suggestions are great for our apartments in Chicago. Call us today to schedule an appointment to come and visit our amazing apartment community.
