Have you ever noticed that in a doctor's office, the waiting room has chairs lined up against the walls? It feels stifling!

Floating furniture, on the other hand, is a quick, clever design strategy to enhance a room's atmosphere. By placing furniture away from the walls and into the center of the room, you create a sense of openness that improves traffic flow. This arrangement not only defines social areas, fostering a cozier atmosphere, but also makes the space feel larger and less cluttered.

Five Advantages of Floating Furniture

1. Defining zones in open spaces:
   Floating furniture can help delineate different areas within an open concept space, such as a living room, dining room, or kitchen, creating an organized and functional layout.

2. Creating a focal point:
   A large piece of furniture, like a sofa or sectional, becomes a visual focal point when it is freestanding.

3. Makes a room feel larger:
   Floating furniture can make a room feel more spacious by creating open areas.

4. Encourages conversation:
   A grouping of floating furniture can bring people closer together, fostering a more social and engaging atmosphere.

5. Creating a modern and stylish look:
   Floating furniture is a design trend that adds a modern and stylish touch to any room.

By thoughtfully placing your furniture, you can create a space that feels open, comfortable, and inviting.
