Planning Furniture for Your Big Day!
Posted by admin | Under Cheap Wedding Flowers Sunday Feb 7, 2010
Planning for your wedding seems fairly simple when the cake and dress are designed, the location and guests are all set and the food is perfectly made and complete.. but have you thought about where your guests are going to be seated? Where the cake and food is to be placed? And additional lighting for that extra touch?
A number of venues do not provide furnishings for your big day and if you’re planning to have your wedding in an unusual location or even outside, don’t presume the furniture and additional pieces to be all laid out for you, or to be the type of design that you had pictured in your mind.
To capture the exact effect that you have always expected to have can sometimes result in a pricey bill which is often paid to make certain the day is perfect but this is not always the answer. If buying your furnishings, who realistically would want to take unwanted wedding furniture home or have the hassle of selling it after the big day only to possibly lose out on the price that you paid for it… I predict the answer is no one.
With furniture rental, the companies supplying the furniture are always prepared for occasions like yours and provide an extensive range for whatever requirement you have. They also offer different solutions and time scales on which the furniture is hired to make sure your day is not only strikingly perfect but also as cheap and easy as possible.
Hiring furniture doesn’t always mean that the pieces look second hand and worn or even old fashioned as their providers want their customers to have a range to choose from and feel happy with their choices. It is also surprising at what designs are available as businesses supply every type of furnishing from rugs and lighting to tables, beds, mirrors and bar stools.
The time scale of your hired furniture can also be lengthened if the furnishings are needed on more than one occasion of a short time period between them or up to 12 months! Its so simple to search on the internet for your local furniture rental company and grab a quote.
If the furnishings are slightly off from what you wished to hire there are always ways of adjusting them, for example, if a table would be more practical as wood than glass but looked less attractive, why not buy a stylish cloth to cover it and elegant table ornaments with sprinkles of wedding confetti, dried flowers or hearts.

Need help with space planning/furniture layout in my new home?
We are about to buy a new house and I want to figure out the best way to use the space (mainly on the ground floor). We have one room that will be a lounge, but then have a slight l-shaped space that needs to include a dining room table, but don’t know how to arrange the furniture and what else could be put in that same room.
I have read about some software you can download, but I was looking for something free ideally!
Any ideas?

Once you have drawn your house you can wander around it and choose the best places for furniture etc

Fill a page with a grid of 1cm squares. Measure your room/s in mm. Divide each figure by 1000, each whole number will equal a square i.e. A room 3000 x 3000mm will equal 3 squares in length and 3 squares in height. Draw up each room on the sheet/s.
Fill another with the same grid. Measure your furniture and draw them up. Cut the completed pieces of furniture out.
Place them onto each room to see how big they are and where they will fit best.
A few good design tips.
Where are the services eg. if the sattelite / tv aerial socket is only in one corner – then thats where the tv has to go ( unless you have long extension pieces.
TVs are difficult to see if a window is shining straight into them.
If you are not sure how much space you need around a piece of furniture, use it and measure how much space you need to function &/or walk around it reasonably.
Think of where your views are – do you want to look out of a window in the living room?
Remember – you can’t cheat space (unless you are a Time Lord)

So i used to work at a furniture store where we specialized in in home designs. I would suggest you go to La-Z-Boy.com .
They have a great site where you can type in the size of your room, ie den, living room, bedroom etc. You can add walls to make it shaped like an L, and you can put whatever furniture you want in. It is alot of fun. Also on this site you can play with fabrics on certain pieces so you can see what it will look like eventually. AND if you really like a specific LaZboy model you can put it in your room, and it is the exact size so you know if it will fit or not. You should know that LaZBoy has a lifetime warranty on the parts, and has a really good customer support, so it is a great buy. If you have any more questions on the furniture itself or the software that allows you to make your own room let me know. I am pretty sure it is located under "plan your room"
