Whether you plan on buying a home in the new year, treating yourself to new furniture or simply moving once again at the end of your lease, I have something that is going to make your life much easier. As a habitual renter in a metropolitan area, I know the grief of trying to fit your furniture into a new space. Similarly, as my parents continue to pawn off furniture on me, I know how tricky it can be to add new pieces to an already existing decor. As I check the real estate listings for a new place to call home this year, I have no fear that I will be able to fit my furniture in a convenient — and attractive — way, no matter where I end up. That’s because I have these awesome Plan A Space furniture templates.
These helpful paper templates are available in different collections — bedroom, dining room, nursery, living room, office, home theater, patio and even photo frames — that will help you organize your entire home. The life-sized templates are made from heavy weight paper that is easy to trim to size, but will not tear during use.
They come packed in a durable plastic tube, too, so you can store them for re-use. As I view different rentals, I can bring along some of these templates to ensure my furniture will fit in certain spaces. I have been doing this for my bed and living room couches; I want to make sure — before I even express interest — that my king size mattress and two couches won’t over burden the spaces.
Each pack features multiple pieces, so you can plan out the whole room before moving a single piece of furniture; You’ll be surprised at how much easier it is than constantly rearranging heavy items. These templates save your floors from scratches or scuffs, but they also save your back and joints from the stress of excessive lifting.
Each template is marked with common sizes of each piece of furniture as well, taking the guess work out of re-sizing them to match your pieces; The paper pieces can be cut of folded.
So far, I have had great success with these layout templates. I have weeded out some rentals with tiny bedrooms and I am already planning some positive feng shui to implement in my new living space.
