Find your focal point
There are no hard-and-fast rules in furniture arranging, but if there is a focal point in the room — a fireplace, for instance, or a window with a beautiful view — try to place your furniture around it to draw the eye in that direction.
Keep a clear path
You always want to be invited into a room visually, without any
obstructions in your path. Be mindful of the number of items you are
placing in a room. Use only what you need for comfort, storage and
utility, and find new homes for extraneous pieces.
