Never underestimate the power of a focal point in a room. Sometimes they appear naturally, such as if you have a prominent window or a built-in fireplace mantel, while other times you may need to create them yourself, as with media units and televisions. Whatever your chosen focal point, make a decision and stick with it. You’ll want to arrange furniture around it as much as possible. #DesignTip #Furniture #FurnitureDesignTip #InteriorDesign #InteriorDesignTip #KaplansFurniture

Always start with the rug when designing a room. You will only have a few rugs that you fall in love with but there will be dozens of paint colors and fabrics you will love. So start with the rug and then select your paints and fabrics. It makes for a much easier process. You won’t be searching forever for the right rug to fit into the rest of the room and then end up compromising your design because of it. #InteriorDesignTip #InteriorDesign #KaplansFurniture

The very first modern spring mattress was thought of and created by Heinrich Westphal in Germany in 1871. Unfortunately, it never gained the recognition it deserved while he was alive and he spent the rest of his life living in poverty. It was not until more than 60 years later that the spring coil mattress began to gain popularity until it eventually became the most commonly used mattress around the world. #FunFactFriday #FurnitureFact #KaplansFurniture

Mixing patterns in home decor is one of the more advanced parts of interior design. Patterns do not have to match, but they need to complement and coordinate with each other. This is done by considering color, size, and scale. #KaplansFurniture #InteriorDesignTip #DesignTip #FurnitureDesignTip

In the mid-19th century, a special type of chair was invented for guards and jailors. Called a “Watchman’s Chair,” it was designed to be uncomfortable. Fashioned of wood, and completely without padding, the seat was slanted forward so that if the watchman fell asleep in it, he’d slide out of the chair! #FunFactFriday #FunFurnitureFact #FurnitureFact #KaplansFurniture #Furniture

Pull furniture away from the walls. Having all the furniture backs touching the walls is one of the biggest mistakes people make in the living room. Placing the pieces closer together, will create a more intimate setting. As long as the backs of the pieces are finished, there's no reason not to show them off. #KaplansFurniture #DesignTip #Furniture #InteriorDesign #InteriorDesignTip

The natural world is one of the most common ways I find new furniture design ideas. It doesn’t have to be an exact shape from the natural world; it can be more abstract or impressionistic. Once you start looking, you will be amazed how many organic, fascinating shapes you will find. #DesignTipTuesday #FurnitureDesign #KaplansFurniture

Just because you've been in love with a certain layout doesn't mean it'll be the best one for your space. Consider where your room's basic foundational elements (like outlets, vents, windows, and doors) actually fall. With windows, consider how much light they provide and whether you’ll want to be near that light for something like reading. #DesignTip #FurnitureTip #KaplansFurniture

Aside from making sure the layout works visually, you'll also want to think about how you'll actually use it and move throughout the space. Consider paths around the furniture, not just the furniture itself. This is especially important when you're decorating a family home with little kids who will run into and over things, regardless of how you arrange them! #KaplansFurniture #DesignTip
