Frequently Asked Questions

Ensure all front legs of your major seating (sofa and accent chairs) sit on the rug. Leave 12 to 18 inches of bare floor between the edges of the rug and the room’s walls for proper balance.

Position your primary seating facing the main focal point—such as a TV unit, fireplace, or large window. Keep at least 3 feet of clear walking pathways.

Float furniture slightly away from walls to create better flow and keep main pathways at least 3 feet wide. Use raised-leg sofas to let light pass underneath.

Pick a coffee table that is about two-thirds the length of your sofa and stands at roughly the same height as your seat cushions for easy access.

Paint walls in light neutral shades, hang large mirrors opposite light sources, and use sheer curtains. Incorporate bright floor lamps in dark corners to distribute light evenly.

Pair two matching solid pillows on the ends with textured or patterned ones in the middle. Combine different sizes, like mixing square pillows with a rectangular lumbar pillow.
