How to Blend HSL Furniture into your Home Aesthetic
As proud as we are of our furniture, there’s no need to redesign your home to fit the style of your new chair. Whether you’re shopping for a Riser Recliner to help with mobility, a snuggle chair to cosy up in or a 3-seater sofa to watch the telly, HSL furniture is versatile and stylish to match your home.
We provide a wealth of fabrics and leathers to suit you, from trending colours and designs to timeless classics from our brand partners including Morris & Co., Moon and Sanderson.
When your new chair arrives, you might feel motivated to have a freshen up of your space, if that’s the case, here are popular furniture layouts to consider. Otherwise, your HSL Chair will simply fit in and replace your old furniture.
Out with the old, in with the new
Symmetrical Layout
The perfect solution for any sized room. A symmetrical layout visually balances the space and can be as easy as two sofas facing each other or having matching side tables.
Floating Layout
The floating layout is great for when you have lots of windows and not so much wall space. Have your furniture a few feet away from the walls to create 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 a dramatic floor lamp or 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 the wall you have wallpaper on 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 away from the wall, this helps to elevate the space. Furniture against walls can promote condensation and mould, make the room feel smaller and less inviting.
3. Decide TV placement
Whether it’s our favourite TV soap, a bingeable series or a move, the average Brit watches around 3 hours and 16 minutes of TV per day, making it a beloved part of our day. Your HSL chair then needs to be placed in a prime spot for your comfortability.
A Recliner Sofa or Chair is the perfect choice for those evenings you want to 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 or enjoy a free-flowing chat with your guests. 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, such as 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.
Visit your nearest showroom and discover our range of premium furniture to look incredible in your home.
