TEN RULES OF PLACEMENT
S TAN
TOPOL'S
I. Always understand the purpose of a room.
2. Understand the architecture of that room.
3. Always design the seating arrangement so
that it enhances the architectural integrity of
the room.
4. Rarely show the back of a sofa...unless
you have designed it so that the back is as
important as the front.
5. Never walk into a space with the side of a
cabinet sticking out from the wall.
6. Always counter balance the structure of
the room with the furniture.
7. Remember that people need to be able
to talk and hear each other...watch your
distances.
8. Having style does not mean one has to
be stylish. What is the trend today may look
dated and tacky tomorrow.
9. Always check the backs of your chairs as
well as the sofas. Backs are a sure tell tell sign
of an amateur when they are straight down.
10. Finally, remember to consider the art work
of a room, it tells the entire story before you
can look at the furniture or the fabrics.
