Rearrangement of furniture in the apartment, sequence of actions

Furniture in the interior is represented by numerous items. When choosing them, direct users are guided by the fact that the designs are convenient and attractive. But sometimes the atmosphere is boring, the usual atmosphere and then the furniture is rearranged in the apartment. It is placed so as to ensure comfortable use and a harmonious look. It is advisable to use certain schemes for arranging interior items, as well as take into account the recommendations of designers. It depends on how comfortable and pleasant a person will feel in a particular room. Moving any furniture is considered a complex process, so you should understand the rules of this work.

The main difficulties

Rearrangement of furniture in the apartment involves the movement of almost all interior items, so you have to face various difficulties:

If there are large-sized furnishings, then changing their location alone is almost impossible, so you have to look for people who can help;
Housing elements are not equipped with wheels, so they have to be dragged on weight, which requires considerable effort;
Even if the furniture is equipped with wheels, when moving it, the wheels themselves often cling to carpets or thresholds between rooms, which can lead to damage to the floor covering;
If you don’t have enough strength to carry the item on weight, you will have to rearrange the furniture on the floor, which can cause damage to the floor covering, be it parquet, tile or linoleum, and it will be almost impossible to eliminate these damage;
Heavy objects during transport may be damaged, which significantly impairs their appearance and performance.

The easiest to rearrange are interior items equipped with wheels, since they are quite easy to move. Due to all the above difficulties, rearrangement of furniture in a room should be done by several strong people. First you need to decide where exactly this or that interior item will be delivered.

Preparatory work

Before moving any piece of furniture in the apartment, you should do some preparation. Initially, you need to make a plan for the future interior, draw a design on paper or simulate on a computer. Next, you should carefully clean the premises, take out all small items. They can become a serious obstacle in the process of moving furniture. Additionally, all removable elements from the furniture that will be rearranged are eliminated.

If you plan to change the location of a large cabinet, then before performing this process, you must completely release it from all things, fix the opening parts with tape. The next step involves measuring the place where you plan to install large furniture. Many people assume that this or that piece of furniture fits quite easily in a specific niche or corner, but later it turns out that the large-sized design does not fit. To avoid the need to rearrange furniture in the apartment for the second time, it is recommended to take measurements in advance and make sure that the planned actions are advisable.

Next, you should check the furniture for wheels or other devices that simplify its movement. If they are available, it is important to ensure that they are in working condition and that they will not damage the floor.

Before directly moving any structure, you should try to simply lift it to make sure that this action can be performed. Often, even two people can not cope with the task.

After the implementation of all the preparatory stages, a direct rearrangement begins. In this case, certain rules of the process should be taken into account, as well as attention to the size and characteristics of the furniture.

Furniture Relocation Rules

Furniture in a small room is rearranged according to certain rules:

Due to lack of free space, all furniture needs to be removed from the room. Then enter the main elements and install immediately in the right place;
Constructions should be empty;
All hinged elements are previously removed, which reduces the weight of any product;
If there are wheels, it is advisable to move the furniture with their help;
If the interior items are too heavy, then when moving them, you may need a cable or other similar devices specially designed for this purpose. But at the same time, it is important to ensure that the legs of the furniture do not spoil the coating on the floor;
Furniture must be installed so that it is convenient to use.

Features of moving furniture depend on where the process is performed.

Room	Features of the movement of interior items
Kitchen	All furniture should be rearranged in such a way as to create a truly comfortable environment for cooking and eating. Near the working area should be dishes and appliances for cooking. During the relocation, you must be careful so as not to touch the gas pipeline, sewage elements or water supply. Often in the kitchen there is a tiled floor on the floor, so rearrange heavy objects in such a way as not to leave scratches on it. Do not install a stove or other heat sources near the refrigerator.
Living room	Usually in this room there is a wall, a TV stand, a sofa and other upholstered furniture. When rearranging objects, you need to consider: you can not put the TV screen to the window - it will glare; the distance from the screen to the viewer should be at least 3 diagonals; the room needs to be zoned in any way possible - additional partitions, several light sources, a multi-level ceiling will help in this. The basic rule is that for any room geometry you need to strive to visually create a square. Then the room will be cozy.
Children	If you need to update the interior of the nursery, you can try to change the location of the main zones. The main thing is that there should be enough light in the work area, and around the bed nothing irritates and does not interfere with sleep.

It is necessary to move furniture in the room in such a way that the integrity of the structures themselves, other interior and floor coverings, as well as door openings or other elements are not violated.

Use cables

Oversized

If you want to move interior items of impressive size, it is advisable to carry out the process in the correct sequence:

Lids made of polyethylene are placed under the furniture legs, allowing you to protect the flooring from scratches and other damages;
The construction moves slowly and carefully;
Through the thresholds, she moves with the help of a special rug, and first you need to put it under the legs, after which it stretches through the ledge;
The floor should be waxed or washed all over the furniture to improve gliding. For the same purposes, various objects and materials can be used, for example, rugs made of wool or even soft slippers;
Tiles or linoleum can be rubbed with soap or gel for dishes;
It is recommended that you work with an assistant;
Haste is not permitted, usually resulting in scratches and other irregularities on the floor or in the doorways.

To prevent dents in the new place, where large and heavy furniture will stand, use special overlays made of felt or similar material. First, large furniture is placed, and then small-sized.

Small-sized

If there is small furniture, then moving it is quite simple, even alone. The rules of this process are taken into account:

First you need to make sure that one person will cope with the process;
The design is completely freed from unnecessary additional elements;
A new site is being prepared for installation;
If the equipment is transferred, then it is previously disconnected from electricity;
All the way to the new installation site must be freed from unnecessary elements so as not to stumble and not to drop the structure.

Most of the small furnishings represented by work chairs, coffee tables or stools are easy to carry alone or are equipped with roller wheels to facilitate their movement.

Lay out all the items

Clear the aisles

Turn off the technique

Kits

Furniture sets can be represented by interconnected large items of interior or modular structures that are easy to disassemble into components. In the second case, moving these elements is not difficult. If there are kits consisting of large parts that are reliably connected to each other, it becomes difficult to move them. To do this, they will have to be disconnected, and then transferred to other parts of the premises with separate objects.

Typically, furniture sets are purchased specifically for a particular room or room style, so it is rarely necessary to move them to another place, but this will be necessary when moving or performing repairs in the room.

Possible errors and solutions

When moving furniture in the apartment, you can encounter various problems that must be addressed in a timely manner. The most popular are:

Lack of preliminary measurements. This leads to the fact that the furniture is moved to the right place, but cannot be comfortably located in this area. This error can be prevented in advance measurements;
Moving a closet filled with things and other objects. They significantly increase the weight of the structure, so the procedure for moving such furniture is considered complex and lengthy. You can fix this error by releasing the cabinet;
Doing work alone. Certain interior items can only be transported or moved by two people, otherwise they can become deformed or leave significant scratches on the floor. Before moving, you need to invite an assistant;
Attempts to transfer objects through the opening without preliminary measurements. This can lead to a violation of the integrity of the furniture or door frame. If the item does not pass assembled, it will have to be carefully disassembled.

Rearrangement of furniture in any room should be based on certain rules and requirements. During this process, you can encounter many difficulties and nuances, so it is important to foresee all possible errors in order to prevent or correct them in a timely manner.
