Furniture decisions are easier when somebody has already worked out which questions actually matter. These guides are written from our own floor, with real counts rather than estimates, and they are meant to be read before you come in rather than instead of coming in.
Each one answers the question in the first few lines, then explains the reasoning underneath. Skip to whichever section you need.
Our Guides
- How to Furnish a Living Room. Sizing seating to the room, sofa against sectional, what to buy first and what can wait, and the measurements that decide whether a piece fits.
- How to Care for Your Furniture. Cleaning codes, what actually damages upholstery and wood, and the routine that keeps furniture looking right for years rather than months.
How to use them
Read the Quick Answer at the top of whichever guide you need. If that settles it, you are done. If it does not, the sections below it go deeper into the part you are stuck on.
Then come in with two things: the measurements of your room, and a rough idea of how the space gets used day to day. Those two pieces of information let us narrow a showroom down to a handful of pieces in a few minutes.
Come and See Us
There is no substitute for sitting on the furniture. A guide can tell you what to look for, and ten minutes on a sofa tells you whether it is yours.
Browse our sofas, sectionals, dining sets and mattresses online first if you want a shortlist before you arrive.
