iPhone Sticker Hack for Moving Furniture!

I love to keep my house fresh and inviting, and sometimes that means I have to “rethink” where furniture pieces are placed. A new need has arisen and the current arrangement isn’t working as well as it had in the past. But moving heavy pieces of furniture from room to room is exhausting, especially when the idea I had in my mind just doesn’t look right and we have to move it again! **Sigh**

I made a recent discovery that has made this whole process so much easier, and it’s all due to a simple tool on my iPhone! Have you tried using “stickers?” on your phone? Here’s how it’s done.

To make a sticker on an iPhone, you can use the main subject of a photo: 

  1. Open the Photos app
  2. Tap a photo to open it in full screen
  3. Touch and hold the subject
  4. Tap Add Sticker
  5. The sticker will appear in your sticker drawer
  6. To use the sticker, open a message, click the plus icon, and then select Stickers
  7. Select a sticker and send it

To add visual effects, such as Outline, Comic, or Puffy, tap Add Effect. Puffy adds a depth effect that changes as you tilt your phone. 
To delete a sticker, open iMessage, tap the plus, then Stickers, and long-hold on the sticker you want to delete. 

In short, you can “remove” something from the picture by putting your finger on it. You can add a person into a group photo, or add your cat to a text message. These are so much fun to add to text messages, however, I used them to help me decide the placement of furniture before I moved it!

  • I took a picture of the furniture I wanted to move.
  • I made a sticker with that piece of furniture
  • I took a picture of the place I wanted the furniture to go.
  • I placed the sticker of that furniture on the picture!
Here is the piece of furniture I wanted to move.
Here it is added to a photo. You can see the cedar chest that was currently place there kind of hidden by the dressing table sticker.

When I took that picture, I knew the pieces would look perfect there! Then my husband and I moved the pieces around without having to move more than once!

Here’s another picture of where I thought about putting the cedar chest. I was looking for something that could serve as a coffee bar in my family room. I really didnt’ want to purchase something, but use what I already had. Shopping my house brought my attention to the cedar chest in the spare room. So here’s the picture with the sticker of the cedar chest kind of in the right spot. It looks like the cedar chest is actually in the room, doesn’t it? It’s just the sticker of it! But seeing it made me realize that I would like it there BEFORE I had to move it. (It’s heavy!!)

I decided to put it flush up against the wall instead of at an angle, but putting it into the picture made me see that the size and colors would look good!

Now let me show you how the rooms actually looked once the furniture was all moved!

These little iPhone stickers could help you place curtains, pictures or furniture! I’m obsessed!

Does this make sense to you? Do you think it will help you with furniture placement before you lug things through your house?

  1. Thanks for sharing, Denise. I have seen the sticker option but wasn’t sure how to use it. I use IG stories to “rearrange furniture,” but this seems much easier. I’m looking forward to trying it!
