SOFAS & RUGS

If you have a small living area aim to purchase sofas that are off the ground/have legs This will create the illusion that the space is larger than it is because you can see more floor space

If you have a larger living area, modular sofas that don't have legs are better suited

Every designers pet hate When the rug is too small for the furniture You have to consider what items you need to frame. Most likely you need to frame a sofa and a coffee table and sometimes you may also have to consider framing an armchair. Our rule of thumb is for a rug to sit halfway under a sofa and come out approx 400mm on each side.

Remember to first measure your sofa and have a coffee table chosen before ordering a rug You want the rug to come out enough so that it frames the coffee table.

Purchase Rug underlay from Bunnings or Ikea, this will ensure your rug doesn't slide around
