How to Set the Perfect Foundation for Your Living Room

Every story starts somewhere. For us, that story almost always starts at home. Beyond the daily uniform, the wholesome recipes, and the everyday entertaining is the space that empowers and enables every moment to take place—that’s where the foundations of a room come into play. From the sofa you sink into after a long day to the side table that’s decorated with intention, cultivated comfort comes from the pieces that are always there. Whether you’re embarking on a redesign or want a refreshed state-of-mind, we’re sharing the four fundamental pieces of living room furniture your space needs.
The Understated Sofa
The first fundamental of living room furniture is surprisingly simple: invest in yourself (and your space) with pieces made for forever. Whether you’re a non-stop entertainer or a self-professed homebody, a well-made sofa is the first place to start. Strive for neutrals that will work well over style shifts and seasons, and make sure comfort comes first. Tip: position your piece with a focal point in mind for an effortless flow and undeniable ease.

Living room moments and memories hinge upon the impactful details we oftentimes consider commonplace—like the coffee table.
