Furniture arrangement: Welcome to your new homeš”
If youāve ever toured the model homes in a new home community, you will understand that interiordecorating is an art.
Itās not just the tastefully designed furniture and accessories that create the perfect room, the placement of these elements has a great deal to do with the overall appeal of a design
Here are a few things to keep in mind when planning your furniture arrangement.š
Determine how youāll use the room:
What is the purpose of the room? šŗ
Create zones in the room and arrange the furniture to delineate them
Set the sofa šļø to face the TV and then create a separate area with comfy chairs, for those solitary moments you spend reading or conversing one-on-one.
Determine a focal point
Where is your eye drawn when you enter the room? This is the roomās focal point. Typical spots to create this point include a fireplace or large window with a view.
If the room lacks a natural focal point, create one by painting a wall in an accent colour or using a piece of artwork or furniture, such as a bookcase.
Create traffic flow
Make sure you donāt crowd the entryways to the room with furniture pieces. Make it easy to enter and exit the room
Once inside the room, there should be enough room to walk through it without bumping into or having to manoeuvre around furniture
Keep furniture to scale
Oversized furniture in small rooms not only disrupts traffic flow, but may obliterate the roomās focal point, making the room feel even smaller than it is
The same can be said for large rooms with dinky furniture
The size of your furniture should match the size of the room.

Secure your homes over summer
Police are reminding people to keep their homes secure during the summer months.
Inspector Glenda Barnaby, Christchurch Area Prevention manager, says daytime burglaries are just as common as nightime burglaries.
āBurglaries can be committed at any time of the day, and coming into warmer months there is more opportunity for thieves."
"Although a majority of burglaries involve forced entry through windows and doors, we are starting to see more incidents at insecure premises. Police deal with cases where burglaries are committed in broad daylight, sometimes even while the victim is at home. Good weather means open doors and windows, which makes homes more vulnerable to burglars.ā
Inspector Barnaby says thereās a few things people can do to reduce their changes of a burglary being committed.
ā ļø If youāre going outside for gardening, relaxing in the sun, or working in the garage, take a moment to lock your doors and secure your windows first.
ā ļø Do the same at night when you go to bed - keep your doors and windows secure and close your curtains. Fitting window stays means you can get a breeze coming through, while keeping your windows secure.
ā ļø Get to know your neighbours - let them know if youāre going away and look out for one another.ā
If you see any suspicious activity, people or vehicles in your neighbourhood, don't hesitate to contact Police.
If you witness or suspect any illegal activity, please call 111 if it is happening now, or make a report through 105 either online or over the phone, if it is after the fact.
