Re-arranging furniture - how often do you do this?

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.

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

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.

hi ellie oh when I had my own home, even in our old apt.I was always rearranging things to get more space and make better traffic paths too;now here in this room I have no rearranging to do.no use crying over spilled milk but I do wish that our life would finally smooth out and I could get out of this retirement center.he he.

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'm more on decorating our place rather than re-arranging furniture, because our condo is small anyway, so there's not much room to re-arrange them. but i do shift some around 1-2 times a year. cheers and happy myLotting!

I am a re-arranger...lol. I like to move things around. I need that kind of change...just to make things look different sometimes...and other times..to make space. My husband is the kind who is comfortable in one setting...and he prefers it remaining that way. He doesn't mind me moving things around....but he wouldn't help....since he sees no point in moving it around. I don't mind since I do it anyways. I'm always moving things around...maybe once in a month or two!

We don't rearrange a lot simply because we don't have much space to rearrange. We live in a pretty small one bedroom apartment and the living room itself is pretty small so we moved in, placed our furniture in one location and it just stayed there. We've been here almost a year and the set up has not changed very much at all.

If you ask my friend they would say I do this too often..lol. But if you ask me...I do it when the mood arises, which happens to be quite often. I live in a small space....my living room, kitchen, dining room are all one room- I call it the great room. Then I have my bedroom and the bathroom. So because all three of my main rooms are in one space...I tend to change things around often because I need a different atmosphere although I am in the same house..lol. I know that sounds weird but I find that I get more creative when things are are placed differently around me. It has its ups and downs...right now I'm laid up with a bad back from trying to move my queen size bed by myself last week :( Like I said it has its ups and downs....oh well...as least I get to mylot while I lay here ;)

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.

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 thing

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.

ohhh.... its too much.. i am a very lazy guy so i have to stay in same position on my home yet i try to re arrange my furniture once in a year. in my home, my sis and mom do this when they need... otherwise its okay for us. take care...

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.

I used to do that often too but these days I’m lucky I have time to clean let alone move furniture! It is nice to make chances to a room every now and again; it gives a new lease of life to it. Our lounge room is somewhat limited we have two windows and wood heater on one wall, a glass sliding door on another, French doors opposite the wall with the wood heater and a door to another room on the last wall so the only furniture we can move around is the couch and the two lounge chairs and there is no where for them to go except where they are, facing the television!

I don't really move around my heavy furniture all tha much. Just because they are really huge and quite hard to push around. I guess the only time I do move around furniture is when I have guests over and they need the extra space to do stuff. Otherwise I would just move the furniture when I need space for something new.

I don't do rearranging furniture too often.. It's about 2 times I did that in 2009.. hehehe :p Too many stuffs and furniture... I live alone in my room. So, the important is I have to keep it clean. That's what I do, Ellie :)

When we first move somewhere, I tend to move things around a fair bit every couple of weeks until I find a good fit and then leave them in that space until re-decorating time. It fascinates me how a change of wall colour can necessitate a whole re-arrangement of the furniture - but it sure works that way for me.. Occasionally if I'm feeling the need to replace something but don't want to spend the money I will move the room around instead, that works for a while lol
