I've always found it helpfull to make a scale model of the rooms in the house and the furniture on graph paper. The you can move the pieces of paper around instead of the furniture to see what fits where. When you find an arrangement that fits and you like, you tape down the furniture models onto the graph paper models of the rooms. Then when moving day comes you can provide a copy of the arrangement of each room as you want it to the movers. Saves a lot of hassle and re-arrangement.

Good luck !!
