What is a Layout Playbook?
The rules of the room, simplified.
Not where furniture looks good in a photo — where it actually works for how you live. Each playbook covers one room type with the logic, measurements, and diagrams to get there.
Layout diagrams
3–6 proven arrangements with notes on sightlines, traffic flow, and zones — so you can pick what fits your room.
Real measurements
Exact spacing ranges for rugs, sofas, coffee tables, and clearance paths — so you're not guessing.
The "why" behind the rules
Understanding the logic means you can flex the rules without breaking the room — for awkward spaces, odd shapes, or tight footprints.
Do / don't visuals
Side-by-side examples of what works and what doesn't, so you can spot mistakes fast and fix them before moving anything.
Think of it as a layout coach in PDF form: one that cares how your home feels, not just how it photographs.
