Living Room Furniture: Buying Guide

The living room takes more traffic than any other room in the house, and it shows every shortcut a furniture maker takes. This collection takes none: every table, cabinet, shelf and bench here is solid hardwood through and through, joined by hand and finished with oil that wears in instead of wearing out.

Solid wood living room furniture, built as one idea

Anchor first, accents second

Furnish around the piece the room already answers to. If the sofa faces a screen, start with the TV cabinet and let everything else follow its height and tone. If the room centres on conversation, the coffee table leads.

Keep 16 to 18 inches of reach

That is the gap between sofa and coffee table where drinks stay reachable and knees stay clear. Measure it before you choose a table size, then let walkways claim at least 30 inches wherever people pass.

One wood tone, many forms

A room reads calm when the grain repeats. Walnut tones on the media wall, the table and the shelving tie the space together even when every silhouette is different.

What this collection covers

This collection gathers our coffee tables, TV cabinets, console tables, side tables, bookshelves, benches, sideboards and wall mounted shelves, so the whole room can come from one workshop and carry one grain story.
