- What can help you lay out your furniture is a scale drawing with cutouts of the furniture so you can see how much room you have. Use graph paper for ease. A dining room may be long, but not have room for a full china cabinet. A lower cabinet may work better in front of a window, or a corner cabinet may work best. I'm not going to tell you every item for every room. My needs, and my layout are likely completely different than yours.
- Start out basic and then you can add on. If you don't have anything at all to start with but have unlimited resources financially, hire a decorator. If not, find a comfortable bed you like, set of dishes, pots and pans, cooking utensils, throw rugs, sofa, reading chair, a few end tables, night stand, set of towels you like the color of, and then build on those. Curtains last. Bedding depends upon the climate. Light blankets for warmer climates and down or wool quilts for winters where there is snow and possible power outages. For outside there are two basics; a lawn mower and a garden hose. You will figure out how much stuff you need and the sizes of beds and how much furniture can hold based upon the dimensions of each room. A large basket of towels may not fit in a master bathroom, but it can if the size is right and ease space in the linen storage area. If you travel a lot it's much easier if you have no live plants or pets to take care of.
