How do I turn my furniture in my Sims 4 game?

I purchased the Sims 4 game and am using Origin.  I can't seem to turn any of my furniture around inside my Sims 4 home!  Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!

    You can rotate objects with the , and . keys or you can also select object with Left Click and hold down mouse button then drag to rotate.

    Holding down Alt while positioning objects allows free placement without grid snapping.

    Holding down Alt while using Left Click and hold to rotate will allow free rotation (no angle snap).

    Below some more shortcuts for Build Mode:

    Ctrl (Hold)While using Wall tool, hold control to delete walls and rooms
    Shift (Hold)While using Wall/Room tool, this will toggle between the two
    + (Numpad)After selecting an object, but before placing it, pressing + on the number pad will cycle through color options for that item, allowing you to find what looks right for that room.
    GToggles the Grid
    Shift (Hold)Hold while placing Buy/Build Mode object to place more of the same object without having to select it again
    BackspacePress while holding an object to place it in the Household inventory. Great for storing multiple things quickly.
    ,Rotate selected object left
    .Rotate selected object right
    Hold Alt w/ ObjectWhile holding an object, this allows you to position it anywhere without Grid Snap
    F5 toggleThis will let you position objects relative to the grid, but at 1/2 to 1/4 the usual distance. Good for precision.
    Control + FWhile laying floor. Do 1/4 of a Tile at a time (little triangle) for artsy Design
    Hold Alt while PaintingFills a straight Wall with the selected Wall Pattern
    Hold Shift: Walls and FloorsWill fill an entire room with the selected Floor or Wall Pattern

    Control + YRedo last action you undid, should you do something on accident or change your mind.
    DeleteUse while object is selected to delete/sell it
    UPush, then click house to relocate the entire structure on the lot. It may be moved or rotated.
