Home Organizing: 5 Unexpected Benefits Of Rearranging A Room

When was the last time you did shake up things in your space to give it an updated look? Rearranging the layout of your room is one way to freshen up and give you a new life at home.

However, there are 5 unexpected benefits of rearranging a room that you probably haven't realized according to Apartment Therapy:

You get to clean under heavy pieces

You probably haven't moved that sofa in a millennia that an amalgamation of kids' toys, crumbs and dust bunnies have taken residence underneath it. Doing some weekend rearranging could finally make cleaning under that sofa - all the way under it - come to reality.

You avoid awkward tan lines

Natural light is good, but if it hits one arm of your favorite upholstered chair and making it look a little more faded than the other, now that's not cool. By doing a different layout, those pieces get a chance to even out their tan lines.

You get to even out carpet dents

The longer your layout is stagnant, the worse those rug divots get. Move things around periodically and use the ice cube trick to fluff up those dents.

It's a chance to purge

While rearranging your furniture, you will actually begin moving things out of the way that you've probably been ignoring for a while like a stack of magazines or a bunch of knick-knacks. This gives you a chance to evaluate some items in our home that you want to keep or get rid of.

It extends the life of your flooring

When you give your room a new layout, you also change the flow of your room and alter the traffic patterns which eventually help even out the natural way the floor wears down. Also, you will finally get the means to hide scuffs or other uglies on the old pathways without doing an all-out home project.
