If you want to redecorate your One 51 Place apartment but do not want to spend a ton of money doing so, rearranging your furniture is a quick and easy way to give your apartment a mini makeover. But, before you get started moving things around your living room, check out these tips to help you make the most out of your space:

• Declutter before you rearrange – Store any items that you don’t use often out-of-sight to make more space in your apartment. You may also notice that once the decluttering is done, you have the space for that ottoman or end table you have been eyeing.
• Get inspiration – Check out Pinterest or decorating magazines to get some ideas of what you like.
• Keep pathways clear – Be sure to not block any natural pathways that make entering and exiting your apartment easier.
• Use natural light – Try not to block any windows with large items, as you’ll likely want to let in as much natural light as possible.
• Start big – Move your largest items first, like a sofa or bed, and then fill in the rest of the room with your smaller items.
• Experiment – Don’t be afraid to keep rearranging your furniture until you find a layout you like. Just because you move your sofa against the back wall first doesn’t mean it has to stay there.

By following these tips, you’ll be able to find the perfect layout for the furniture in your apartment.
