Modern Furniture

The important thing at this stage is to establish exactly what room you have got to play with so that you can make the most of its potential. Do not be disheartened by an apparent lack of space: knowing your boundaries is the first step towards being able to work constructively within them, with a house or apartment, you need to be able to imagine the outline clearly before you can work out exactly how to use the space within it and start building up your own picture of colours and furnishings.

It is also important to bear in mind that having too much space can be as problematic as having too little. Deciding how to furnish a cavernous warehouse is daunting because you do not know where to start. Having a clearly defined space from the outset will help you make initial design decisions by reducing the options so that you have fewer choices to make.
