We're proud of our furniture, but there’s no need to redesign your home to fit the style of your chair. Whether you’re shopping for a Riser Recliner to help with mobility, a snuggle chair, or even a 3-seater sofa. HSL furniture is versatile and stylish, ensuring it will naturally match your home.
In addition, we provide a wealth of fabrics and leathers to suit you. Ranging from trending colours and modern designs. And all the way through to timeless classics from our brand partners, including Morris & Co., Moon and Sanderson.
When your new chair arrives, you might feel motivated to freshen up your space. If that’s the case, here are some popular furniture layouts to consider. Alternatively, your HSL chair will simply fit in and replace your old furniture with ease.
Out with the old, in with the new
Symmetrical Layout
The perfect solution for any sized room. A symmetrical layout visually balances the space. It can be as easy as two sofas facing each other or having matching side tables.
Floating Layout
The floating layout is great especially when you have lots of windows and not much wall space, meaning that you may need a more open, ‘floating’ arrangement. In this case, place your furniture a few feet away from the walls. This way it creates an island in the centre of your living room.
Irregular Room, Irregular Layout
Sometimes our houses are shaped… odd… with triangular shaped bedrooms, nooks and crannies, and more popular, chimneys breasts. Arrange your furniture to create ‘zones’ on rugs or around oversized statement pieces, like an art piece.
L-Shaped Layout
The L-shaped layout is for smaller spaces or an open plan living room and dining room. In this layout, place your sofa on the longest wall and the tv on the wall directly in front. Corner Sofas are great for this space.
Styling HSL Furniture to suit your space
1. Choose a focal point
It can be something as simple as wallpaper or an architectural feature, like a fireplace or large window.
Our Accent Chairs are the perfect focal point or statement piece for any room.
2. Don’t push furniture against a wall
If you have the space, ensure your furniture is pushed slightly away from the wall. This will subsequently elevate the overall feel of the room. After all, furniture placed directly against walls can promote condensation and mould, and as a result, make the room feel smaller and less inviting.
3. Decide TV placement
Whether it’s our favourite TV soap or a binge‑worthy series, the average Brit watches around 3 hours and 16 minutes of TV per day. Making it a much‑loved part of daily life. With this in mind, your HSL chair therefore needs to be placed in a prime spot to ensure maximum comfort.
A Recliner Sofa or Chair is the perfect choice for those evenings you put your feet up and relax.
4. Create conversation areas
Having a layout that promotes conversations is the perfect way to stay connected with your family. Place chairs and sofas on angles or in front of each other to create an area that encourages a chat.
With a range of 2 seater, 3 seater and 4 seater sofas, creating a conversation area for a long catch up or quick chat has never been easier.
5. Find balance when arranging furniture
When arranging your furniture, it’s always tempting to choose a matching set, but a mix of fabrics and textures can really enhance your space. Choose a mixture of different sized pieces, from a tall back on your armchair to a round coffee table.
6. Consider where the footpaths are
Our homes have high foot traffic zones and areas that aren’t visited as much. Pay attention to how your family moves around. Creating a clear path will avoid injuries, worn down furniture and result in a safer home.
When creating a safer and more accessible home, our Riser Recliners are unrivalled. Designed by experts and approved by an independent Occupational Therapist, you really couldn’t be in better hands.
7. Let in the Light
Treat yourself to ambient lighting, for example floor lamps in the corner, table lamps for side tables, or light decorations on bookshelves.
Having natural light is important, make sure not to construct your windows and let as much natural light in as possible.
With a range of bright colours, luxury fabrics and premium leathers, our HSL furniture will look amazing in any lighting, it all comes down to what you like.
8. Artwork and decoration
Find artwork and decorations that suit your style. Your HSL chair can be part of that decoration. Any photo frames should fit the size of your furniture and not look underwhelming or too big. Find a stylish coffee table and side tables to complete your look. Create your own scatter cushions in the design of your choice and make your living room for an interior designer touch.
