Logon to Lazboy.com OR Polyvore.com and find the room planner option.
Start with only one room of the floor plan that you designed. Don’t use one of their templates because I’ll know it.
Using the principles and elements of design, and space planning we’ve talked about in class, create a furniture arrangement for your floor plan.
Use generic furniture and structural elements to create your room.
Show me so I can check it off before you turn off your computer.
