This episode discusses the floating furniture, why it’s good for your rooms, and tips for floating furniture effectively.
As usual, I’m going to have to watch this two or three times. That’s what I usually do – watch, try out an experimental arrangement, return to roominess to find out why my version didn’t work, change my experimental layout only to find it doesn’t work, either, blame the dogs, back to roominess, have my “aha”! experience, and then eat German Chocolate Cake.
On a serious note, doing my layouts on 1/4″ graph paper, with paper furniture cut-outs really works and helps me to decide, on occasion, that a certain piece may need to be replaced or traded to another room. Also, I do this same thing with my walls using window cut-outs, paintings, and vertical furniture and shelving cut-outs – works great!
Thanks for another great episode, Doug!
Hey Doug, I remember watching this video when it first posted – I think it’s great and it reminds me of when I was working on my living room. This was before the video, but you brought up the notion of pulling my sofa and chairs out from the wall. It totally changed the look of the room! And by pulling the chairs out a little extra I was able to bend the traffic pattern away from cutting across the space between the sofa and the coffee table.
I remember why I didn’t comment then and it’s happened before here. I’ll watch one Roominess video and it sparks something that I want to check out on one of the other ones when I finish. So I keep forgetting to comment.

Thanks for watching Edward! Glad the videos are helping.
I feel like rugs are important to define spaces. Have you talked about that? Will you?
Suzanne
Yes! I absolutely agree! Have you seen the Roominess “Rug Magic” episode?
