Sophra asked: I have a square room with large windows on the south wall, a smaller window on the east wall, a closet on the north wall, and an empty east wall. I have a large bookcase, a small cabinet, and two desks I am trying to arrange to be practical but not overwhelm and crowd the room, especially since it’s all dark wood furniture. I’ve tried angling some of the pieces, separating the desks, putting the desks together to increase my workspace . . . I’m just confusing myself? Any suggestions? And please don’t suggest those furniture arranging programs, I’d really just like to hear people’s actual visions for arranging the furniture. Thank you!

if you have a computer on your desk, make sure the window is not behind it because of the glare.
if the desks are big, dont put them next to each other.
if the cabinet is small enough, put it in the closet.
if its not, just put it next to it.
the bookcase should be either near the door or one of the desks.
(it would be best if one of the windows were across from the bookcase)
How about putting one desk under the south window…then use the 2nd desk to form an L shape…(unless a 2nd person will be using this desk). If 2 people will be using the desks, put them under the south windows facing each other.
Then put the large bookcase on the east wall… under the window or beside it…with the small cabinet on the north wall (by the closet door).
With this arrangement, you can see out both windows and the door.
Have you thought about painting the desks a lighter color so the room won’t be full of dark wood?
