Start With A Feeling

Design Around How You Want To Live

Great rooms aren't decorated — they're lived in. Think about how you relax, gather, host or unwind — and build the space around those moments.

Four Styling Principles

The Essentials

Anchor With Your Sofa

Your sofa is the anchor of the room — choose it first, then design around it.

Try

  • Neutral sofa + colourful accents
  • Statement sofa + quiet palette
  • Leather for warmth, fabric for softness

Layer Textures

Mix soft and structured, rough and smooth — depth makes a room feel complete.

Ideas

  • Linen throws over leather sofas
  • Velvet cushions on chenille
  • Wool rugs under wooden floors

Get The Light Right

Three sources per room: overhead, task and ambient. Never rely on one alone.

Checklist

  • Ceiling pendant or spots
  • Floor or table lamp beside the sofa
  • Dimmable warm bulbs (2700K)

Leave Breathing Room

Allow 45 cm walkways and 30 cm between sofa and coffee table.

Rules of thumb

  • 45 cm minimum walkways
  • 30 cm sofa-to-coffee-table gap
  • 60 cm between facing sofas
