An issue:  Even a medium size room might feel cluttered with bulky furniture that sits on the floor.

How to solve it: Editing is the key. Make sure you have got the most important: the items you love and the things you need. Buy furniture that perfectly suits your edited set, so there are no extra drawers or shelves needed. It is also important to choose furniture which has legs. Being able to see underneath the furniture make the room visible bigger and airier. Another common problem is not having enough seating. Take into consideration the purpose of the furniture in the room. For example, try to substitute two identical pedestals with one larger shelf. This saves space for a bench at the end of the bed or an armchair in the corner.
