Chapter 01 · Plan Your Space
Start with the room, not the sofa.
Before any shopping: measure, mark walkways and set proportions. These pieces give you the clearance rules we use on every project — so nothing you buy later fights the room.

The clearance rules we apply to every project.

Under the sofa, under the bed, under the table.
Chapter 02 · Choose Your Materials
Now decide what it’s made of.

Chapter 03 · Judge the Quality
Learn to see inside the piece.

Protect the investment you just made.
