The biggest challenge we face when trying to decorate a big space is how to arrange the furniture without making it look like a museum. Do bear in mind that you have to break the room into smaller areas with specific purpose.

1. Identify the main area and it's use. If you’re dealing with a social gathering spot then establishing a seating area for conversation is your goal. Gather the sofa, centre table and ottoman then select an area rug to define your perimeter. Next, arrange these pieces on and around it.

Here's some helpful tips to consider before you make your purchase 1. Bedroom Size – This is essential to know before you go! Take your measurements with you.

Whether you are rearranging a room or you are moving to a new place, moving furniture can sometimes be a physically demanding task. In order to reduce risk of injury when moving furniture, you want to minimize the amount of physical stress you exert. There are some ways to make moving big and small furniture a breeze without damaging it! 1. Enlist Helpers While it may seem like common sense, having more than one person move furniture can save time, effort and help protect your furniture. You can ask friends, family and neighbors to lend extra hands while moving furniture around. You also have the option of hiring professional movers that can arrange your furniture and can transport it to another location. If you look into a moving service, find a team that charges a one-time flat fee so they do their job as efficiently and quickly as possible. Avoid hourly paid workers because they may not be as motivated or consistent! 2. Slide Sliding

It doesn’t matter if you rent an apartment or make mortgage payments, energy bills are a given and those costs can sometimes stretch your budget and shrink your wallet. Here are five tips you can check out that could lower your energy bills and save some money!

1. CFL Bulbs – Swapping out your old light bulbs could make a big impact on your yearly energy costs. CFL stands for compact fluorescent lamp and it takes them less energy to light up and less energy to keep on.
