A beautiful arrangement still has to make room for actual movement.

Homes get arranged for the eye and then lived in by bodies. A layout that photographs well can leave nowhere to set a bag down, no way past the table with a tray, no room for a stick, a pram, or a wheelchair. Movement is not a compromise imposed on a good arrangement, it is one of the things the arrangement is for. A room people have to navigate carefully is asking them to be careful all day.

Walk your main room the way a visitor would, carrying something in both hands. Move whatever you had to turn sideways for.
