Re-arranging furniture - how often do you do this?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 95/100. ellie333 (8050)   ranked 498 out of 32,948 in life 2 years ago

I was frustrated with my lounge as the sofa sat in front of a wall unit and I didn't like it, so I have moved the TV, taken down shelves and shifted this rather heavy unit so now the sofa goes back against the wall and there is a lt more space for my son to play. I used to changed rooms round often. What about you do you just redecorate and leave the furniture in original place or do you play and move everything all around?

Huggles. Ellie :D

Hey I also love doing this kind of stuff especially now that I am trying to earn about fengshui tips. I love decorating and changing how my things are set up. Maybe I'm just a frustrated interior designer said my dad. lol

Hi Cheate, I am pleased to hear you enjoy this type of thing, I do actually feel a sense of achievement now that I have finished, although rather tired. :D


myLot reputation of 93/100. cheatedaphrodite (295)   ranked 5,394 out of 32,948 in life  2 years ago

I also feel satisfied once I finished doing this though it's quite tiring. The thing is I enjoyed it.

I used to do that very often whatever makes me comfortable specially now that my son has learned to walk and climb on furnitures so I need to remove or shift the cabinets where it will be out of his reach. I make sure my home is child proofed to prevent untoward accidents.


myLot reputation of 95/100. ellie333 (8050)   ranked 498 out of 32,948 in life  2 years ago

Hi Heartfced. I guess in a way now my son is older I am moving things around as he no longer climbs on units etc. so we both have child friendly re-arranging lol. Ellie :)

At home I do it every year because I like a change in the rooms and the house in general but if ever I am getting help from others I will do it easily but now others at home says they do not want to do the tasks of lifting beds, cup board, tables to move. I want to get maximum space in the rooms to be able to walk freely.


myLot reputation of 95/100. ellie333 (8050)   ranked 498 out of 32,948 in life  2 years ago

Hi Med889. You say you like to get maximum space to be able to walk frely and this is exactly what I have managed to achieve today so I am very happy with the result. Huggles. Ellie :)

Hi Ellie. Sometimes I get fed up with the way my furniture is arranged. Then I choose to change it. This normally happens after clutter clearing or re-decorating. Last month I had a clutter consultant round for two separate mornings. She does space clearing, organizing and clutter sorting. She helped me move the furniture in my lounge into a new layout. She made lots more space in my lounge. I put my house in the market and it sold subject to contract in five days. I am so very delighted and the money I spent getting a clutter consultant to help me was money well spent. I think I rearrange my furniture about four times each year. Maxine.


myLot reputation of 95/100. ellie333 (8050)   ranked 498 out of 32,948 in life  2 years ago

Wow what a result the house selling within 5 days, brilliant result and yes I agree well worth paying for someone to come help. I have never heard of a clutter consultant though. I realy feel I have achieved a lot today though. Huggles. Ellie :D


myLot reputation of 99/100. cynthiann (5234)   ranked 55 out of 32,948 in life  2 years ago

A clutter consultant? Did I read this correctly? What a brilliant idea!I would love to have one in my house to clear my clutter. I have heard of designer consultants for small spaces but never a clutter consultant. I will look online about this.Maybe I could pick up some tips as my house is small but the kids all gravitate to it still and stay with me.

My husband and I moved a year and half ago and since that time we have re-arranged the furniture in the living room a couple of times. At first we kept the rabbits in a different room but we spend most of the time in the living room and we decided that it would be nice to have them in that room. I am happy that we made that decision. We have also moved the books helves and the stereo a couple of times, and we have created a corner for the pets in one part of the room, because the dog and the cat have lots of toys.


myLot reputation of 95/100. ellie333 (8050)   ranked 498 out of 32,948 in life  2 years ago

Hi Porcospino, I think it does take a while of lving somewhere and moving things around to find the design you are happiest with. In fact today as I also have indoor rabbits I shifted where they sleep around too but are not in the lounge they are by patio doors which means they can go in and out to garden and just go back in cge when ready. Huggles. Ellie :)

I often change around - but only with the sons around to do the heavy work. It is like - I just have to try it a different way to see how it looks. I like to do this. I love my little home very much and am pleased with the results I have. It is good to have the extra room for your son to play. and somehow it seems to lift our spirits when we change it around doesn't it? May be a women thinghappy

Hi Cynthiann, It has made me feel much better you are right as it is all neat tidy, clutter free and with space yay! Done the shifting on my own, really don't know how I managed it, will be aching later I expect. Huggls. Ellie :)

I live in a small house so I don't have alot of options...otherwise I probably would! I love giving my rooms a different look.


myLot reputation of 95/100. ellie333 (8050)   ranked 498 out of 32,948 in life  2 years ago

Hi Jill, My lounge is quite big but awkward in layout as have tairs on one wall, window and door on another, storage heater on another and the kitchen door the other so not one complete straight wall, but I love the way it looks now, comfortable with it already. When space i limited it is always difficult to move things around I agree. Huggles. Ellie :)

Hi Ellie


So nice to see you here back and posting my dear friend..I have missed you so.

Well, me if I am comfortable, I will busy myself and leave it as it is.

My son on the other hand is a redecorater..he moves stuff around all the time and it drives me mad, but when he is finished it always look nice.

He is grown remember though.


myLot reputation of 95/100. ellie333 (8050)   ranked 498 out of 32,948 in life  2 years ago

I would be worried if he were redecorating at my sons age 6, be a bit contempary in design if he did I should imagine lol. Really do feel better now though as so much more space and easier to keep tidy, things can't get hidden on the unit behind sofa anymore. Came back to the Lot again yesterday I think, miss everyone after a while and am drawn back and also the extra in paypal helps too eh! Hope all is well with you Your Highness, huggles. Ellie :)


myLot reputation of 98/100. OceanTiara (6977)  2 years ago

Yes my dear that would be funny if he was doing that that young.

from what i understand, rearranging ones furniture often denotes restless unhappiness in ones life. me? i used to change entire rooms from one place to another a few times a year >.< i dont anymore happy


myLot reputation of 95/100. ellie333 (8050)   ranked 498 out of 32,948 in life  2 years ago

Hi Tessah, Well as you don't anymore I guess that denotes you are content. I am happy now with the repositioning as I was restless with the large unit behind the sofa on the wall it was in the lounge but measured another section of wall up although it had shelves and found it would fit there so took the shelves down and perfect so I am now relaxed with the new positioning. Huggles. Ellie :)
