During my first room layout, I did cut out my furniture pieces and moved them around the room. When I finally decided on placement, I taped them down and made a copy for a clean finish. It definitely helped to visualize all the different options before settling on one. I think we'll be giving it a go with Sketchup for our next room redesign. It's good to hear that your office mates use this program, so I think it's time we give it a good try! Hi Christina,

I don't use graph paper as much anymore but I definitely did when I first started out. Sketching these things takes practice and the more you do the better you get! I usually lay things out in CAD first now. Also cutting out furniture sized pieces (couch, coffee table, etc...) and moving them around on your graph paper room is great for exploring ideas and testing layouts. A lot of people in our office (including interiors) also use Sketchup for quick space analysis and design. It's also super helpful with getting perspective angles. Keep up the good work you two! It's always refreshing to see new faces and ideas in our profession. I use trace all the time at work (architecture firm).
