Since opening The Conran Shop in 1973, Sir Terence's ambition was to fill our lives with "the very best and most interesting products and furniture from the four corners of the world." In continuing our late founder's legacy, we are here to help you find exactly that, offering an incomparable range of services to guide you along the way.
If you are thinking of buying new furniture, it's a good idea work out dimensions, cut out paper models to scale and then try them out on the room plan before committing. Just because the sofa fits into the room, there's no guarantee you'll be able to get it down the hallway on delivery, so take careful measurements. Our access checks are available for ease of mind. Once you know what's possible in terms of space, you can start to choose or design your sofa. Our bespoke Build Your Own service means you can create almost anything, with over 3,000 options available.
Are there items you use more often in summer than winter so that you can organise storage on a seasonal basis? Do your possessions often suffer from how they are stored, for example, rust, crumbling or breakages? Before deciding on which type of storage to buy, make a scale drawing of the room. Draw in the door and windows and any furniture that stands against the walls. In coloured pencil add the light switch or electric points and then in dotted lines the position of concealed gas pipes or electric cables, so that you are sure not to block off electric sockets or important taps and switches.
A sofa, armchair or ottoman is not only an investment in your dcor but also in the comfort and ambience of your home. As a result, it's important to find upholstery that will continue to complement your furnishings and provide lasting comfort for its entire lifespan. What colour will complement my room? Whether you're wanting to make a statement or looking for something more subtle, it's important to think about the complete look you want to achieve when selecting your upholstery. Don't forget, you can accent neutral upholstery with statement cushions for a versatile aesthetic.
Considered and comfortable seating makes a house a home; it's the centrepiece to any living space, which is why our offering of contemporary sofas is unmatched. Browse our curated edit below and discover two to five-seater leather, cotton and wool sofas as well as statement-making standard and recliner armchairs with finishes in every colour. With options by Lucy Kurrein for Molinari, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe for Knoll and Matthew Hilton for The Conran Shop, finding the perfect centrepiece for your home will be a delight.
The first thing to do before purchasing a rug takes some measurements. You'll want to know the size of the space available, if your rug is to be a decorative addition to your home or, if it's going underneath a dining table, coffee table or other furniture, you'll want to make sure that the perimeter of the rug exceeds those of the items in question in such a way that it does not get lost. Choose durable, hard-wearing rugs for placement in hallways and landings, as they are going to get a lot of wear.

It is a good idea to have adaptable lighting in the living room, as it is used for a variety of different functions. Good hardwired light with a dimmable function allows you to vary the amount of background light, and then adding a task lamp next to armchairs, or hanging pendant lights over a coffee table can give you more directed light. The living room is also a great place for decorative touches, which is where a unique lamp can really stand out. One pendant light may suffice for lighting the hall, but if this is dreary, you can loop a second flex across the ceiling and hang a second light from a ceiling hook.
