What are some ways to use a room's existing furniture in design?

1. Repurpose furniture: Instead of getting rid of old furniture, try to repurpose it. For example, an old dresser can be turned into a TV stand or a storage unit.

2. Incorporate complementary pieces: Select new furniture pieces that complement the existing furniture in the room. For example, a new armchair in the same color scheme as the sofa will create a cohesive design.

3. Use existing furniture as a focal point: Highlight existing furniture pieces as a focal point of the room. For example, a unique coffee table or a vintage sofa can be emphasized with decorative elements like rugs or artwork.

4. Rearrange furniture: Experiment with different furniture arrangements to create a new layout that utilizes the existing pieces. This can also create a new flow and add visual interest to the room.

5. Accessorize: Add new accessories, such as pillows, throws, and lamps, that complement the existing furniture in the room. This can enhance the look and feel of the space without replacing any furniture.
