The room planner is one of the easiest ways to configure a room with furniture and accessories.  We recently just moved into a new house and had several empty rooms to fill.  The task was overwhelming and the cost of hiring an interior designer even more so.  I had a basic idea of what I wanted and what each room needed, so I began laying it out with Outrageous Interiors Room Planner.  Once I had a few layouts I liked, I emailed them to the store, and then set up an appointment for a free in-home design consultation.  Their designers helped me refine the layouts with measurements and furniture options.  I then went in to the store, selected fabrics and placed my order.  My family room furniture arrived just today and I was amazed at how everything fit exactly as we planned!  The whole process was easy and a great way to visualize a furnished room.

To use the Room Planner, go to "Services" page and click on "Room Planner".  A new window will open and follow the prompts.  By registering, you will be able to save various plans and email them to the store for assistance.  You can choose from a "Prebuilt Plan" or "Design Your Own", which is more of a blank canvas.  You enter your room measurements and a blank layout appears ready to fill.  Choose from different room types, as well as various types of furniture, fixtures, structural elements, etc. from the drop-down menus.  Each will give you a different assortment of pieces to choose from, and you simply click and drag the item onto blank room area.  Once there, click the item and you can resize by either clicking "i" button and entering measurements or holding one of the corners and dragging to the desired size.  Click, drag and rotate the element to wherever you want it to be in the plan.  When you're happy with the plan, click "Save As" and name it.  You can create several different versions and use "Save As" to name them differently.  Click "Share" to email the plan to a friend or an Outrageous Interior representative.  There are many more options in the drop-down menus, and playing around with the different choices will help define exactly what you're looking for. 

Of course, if you find it a little overwhelming at first, call one of the stores and a designer will be happy to walk you through the whole process!
