Living Room Design FAQs

  • We offer two pricing options for our living room design services:

    • Basic Package: £450 – This includes a personalised design consultation, custom design plan, furniture and decor recommendations, and access to trade discounts.
    • Deluxe Package: £650 – This package includes everything in the Basic Package, plus 3D renderings to help you visualise your new living room before implementation.
  • The timeline for completing a living room design depends on the complexity of the project. On average, the process takes 3 weeks, including design consultations, design development, and finalising selections.

  • Designing the ideal living room layout starts with considering how you use the space. Is it primarily for watching TV, entertaining guests, or simply relaxing? Your layout should reflect these activities. Arrange your furniture around a focal point, such as a fireplace or TV, and avoid pushing all your furniture against the walls. In smaller rooms, try pulling the sofa inward to create a cosier and more inviting atmosphere.

  • Your sofa is the centrepiece of the living room, so choose wisely! Start by measuring your space to ensure the sofa fits comfortably without overcrowding. Consider the fabric—if you have kids or pets, durable, stain-resistant materials are a must. Decide whether you want your sofa to blend in or stand out. A neutral sofa offers versatility, while a bold coloured or patterned one can become the star of the room.

    Don’t forget to think about comfort and how the sofa fits with the overall design of your home.
