The world of home decor is vast, and we’re constantly amazed by the designers, creators, and creatives who cross our paths. In an effort to learn more about the innovative eyes behind the scenes, we’ve launched a series that explores the sanity-saving tools, products, and services that keep our favorite designers and decorators focused on the job at hand. Welcome to Tools of the Trade.
If you ever rearranged a room or moved furniture to a new space, you know the headache that comes with it. Physically fitting everything and making it look stylish can be a huge lift, and new spaces often mean new quirks to figure out.
But as it turns out, there is a better way to plan your furniture layout. With the help of two of our favorite interior design experts, we pulled together a few of their top tips and two products you should always have on hand if you're looking to rearrange a room.
According to Gideon Mendelson, the founder and creative director of Mendelson Group, and Angela Hamwey of Mackenzie & Co., just two simple items can change your whole approach to styling and staging a room.
Gideon Mendelson: Trace paper is a lifesaver for me. I work with it all the time.
Amazon
Angela Hamwey: A roll of blue painter's tape! Painter’s tape can be purchased from your local hardware store or big box retailers like Home Depot or Lowe’s and online at Amazon.
Amazon
GM: It’s how I begin the process of design. I use the paper to sketch preliminary furniture plans, millwork elevations, and furniture designs. It’s a great tool for getting ideas out of my head and onto paper quickly.
AH: Painter’s tape is so great because it helps create a visual representation of where things will be placed and how they will relate to other pieces
