Palace Project Part 2: Floor Plans

In an attempt to figure out how I wanted to redecorate my apartment, I decided to try making a floor plan. That way I could see what would happen without having to actually move the furniture yet. This proved to be helpful, yet challenging.

First, I discovered www.homestyler.com. It's an awesome site that lets you use sample furniture to make a floor plan of the rooms in your house.

Next, I made a floor plan that didn't work. It looks like this:


Then I actually measured the couch and discovered that it is way too long to fit on that wall. So I made a second plan. It looks like this:










This one is better, but it still doesn't work.

After that, I got smart and realized I needed to measure the dimensions of the room and not just one piece of furniture, and created a floor  plan that's significantly more accurate. It looks like this:






This time I got furniture that actually fits in the space. Smart, huh? Yeah...third time's the charm.

I decided to buy a new couch, an area rug, curtains, accent chairs, an accent table and a shoe bench. Here's to shopping!
