I used to change my arrangement of furniture often, but now, not not so much. Like many others have said, often a room has its own limitations that must be accommodated. I moved in to my current residence 4.5 years ago and except for minor changes to fit in a Christmas tree each December, the rooms have stayed the same. I think part of it is age and old bones. 
The thought of moving furniture just for the sake of moving it? Naahh. I am more apt to rearranging accessories or seasonal touches to freshen up my spaces.

Interesting question and answers. We seldom rearrange our furniture. I love working with fabric and colors but I am hopeless when it comes to decorating. Shortly after moving into our current house, I did hire an interior decorator to help with paint choices. Amazing, after two hours I had paint colors, and all rooms except bedrooms were rearranged (including furniture, pictures, lamps, knickknacks, etc.), and numerous suggestions or ways to update "the look" of the house. The decorator was practical, fast, nonjudgmental, offered ideas and solutions to problem areas. They suggested, we live with the changes for a week before deciding which changes were keepers and which weren't. Many of the solutions and changes we adopted, while only a few were rejected. Afterwards, we received numerous compliments from our visitors. That was numerous years ago and our lifestyle is changing and decorating styles have changed. We are overdue for another revamp of the house and I will be hiring a decorator for advice as the first step.

When I was younger I loved rearranging the furniture. I always felt like I cleaned the house much more thoroughly when moving things around. Now that I'm older I can only do that if I have help and besides I have much more furniture than I did 30 years ago. LOL

I rarely re-arrange furniture. It's just way to much work. I've been in this house since 2000 and everything is pretty much where it was when we moved in. We've added a few things and replaced things but everything is pretty much in the same place.

I rearranged our furniture several times after we moved into our house for a couple reasons. It has been the same way for a couple years now. I’m itching for a change, though! I enjoy a fresh look but due to the heat source in our home (a kerosene stove) I’m limited in what I can do. For the furniture we currently have, the current arrangement is the best one which is why it has stayed. Once we get new furniture, though, it will likely change... and change again until we find the best fit.
