Start with your space.

Before selecting furniture, think about how you want your space to look, feel and function. Consider how you use the room day to day, how you move through it and what would make it feel more comfortable and inviting.

Understanding your room’s dimensions is an important first step. Take note of windows, doorways, and natural walkways, allowing enough space for furniture to sit comfortably without interrupting the flow of the room. A little planning at the beginning can make all the difference in creating a space that feels balanced, considered and suited to the way you live.

Find the right fit. 

Choosing the right rug size can make all the difference in bringing a room together. A well-proportioned rug helps anchor your furniture, define the seating area, and create a space that feels balanced and considered.

Rather than choosing a rug in isolation, start with your sofa and the furniture around it. Larger sofas, modulars, and arrangements with occasional chairs often benefit from a more generous rug, allowing each piece to feel connected within the space.

Our Granite Lane Tip? Use painter’s tape to mark out the rug dimensions on your floor before deciding. It’s a simple way to visualise the scale, see how it works with your furniture and ensure there’s enough room to move comfortably around the space.

A little guidance, with more help when you need it.

The Room Guide gives you a starting point, and our stylists are still here to help with the next step.

Perhaps you’ve taken your measurements but would like a second opinion on the layout. Or you’ve found a sofa you love and need help choosing the rug, occasional chair and finishing touches.

Bring your measurements, photos and ideas into the showroom, or book an in-store or in-home consultation. Our team can help you put the pieces together to create a home that feels considered, comfortable and distinctly yours.
