Same pieces.
A different relationship.Compare the room you draw, not just the space it leaves.

The practice

A room is more
than its edges.

Place

Choose a brief, pick a piece and set it on your floor mat. Turn it until the arrangement begins to work.

Notice

Check overlaps and follow the open route from the doorway. Make one small change and see what shifts.

Keep

Save an arrangement with its purpose. Try an alternative, compare the two and shape a sequence for your day.

Ways to begin

One purpose.
Several possibilities.

The same room can hold different days. Begin with a moment, then let the arrangement answer it.

A place to arrive

Give the first things you reach for a place near the edge. Keep the center available for what comes next.
