Convert your measurements to a 1/2" = 1" scale. Draw an outline of your room on the graph paper; two squares of the graph equal one foot. if your room is larger then 15'x21' you will need to tape two pages together.

Be sure to sketch in doors, windows, fireplaces and any other things that will need to be considered in your layout.

Go through the pages of furniture and find those pieces that are closest to your furniture and then begin moving them around to achieve the look that works for you.

Keep in mind the traffic flow through a room.

Some guidelines to keep in mind:

Major path of traffic 3'-4' wide
