Lounges Designed for Everyday Living
There’s nothing quite like a comfortable lounge, whether you’re enjoying a morning coffee, unwinding after a long day, or spending time with friends and family.
At The Furniture Gallery, we understand how satisfying it is to have the perfect lounge to build your living room around. Our Perth lounges prioritise modern design, functionality, and above all, sensational comfort for Perth homes.
Why the Right Lounge Matters in Your Living Room
Your lounge anchors the entire living room. It defines how the space feels and how it functions. The right lounge supports daily comfort, fits your layout properly, and allows your living space to flow naturally. When proportions, seating depth, and materials are well matched to your lifestyle, the room feels welcoming rather than crowded or underused.
What is the Difference Between a Lounge, Sofa, and Couch?
While often used interchangeably, there are subtle differences:
What is a Sofa?
A structured seating piece with arms and a back, commonly available in 2- or 3-seater designs. Sofas often feel more formal.
What is a Lounge?
A broader category that includes modular, corner, chaise, and recliner lounges. Lounges prioritise comfort and everyday use.
What is a Couch?
A casual term used in everyday conversation to describe both sofas and lounges.

Lounge Materials and Upholstery Options

Leather Lounges for Durability and Easy Care

Lounge Styles That Suit Modern Perth Homes

How to Style Your Lounge in the Living Room
Position your lounge to encourage conversation while maintaining clear walkways. Allow 40–50 cm between the lounge and coffee table for comfortable movement.
Avoid pushing furniture tightly against walls. Slightly floating your lounge creates depth and balance. Use cushions and throws to introduce colour or texture without committing to permanent changes. Complete the space with side tables, floor lamps, or shelving that add function without clutter.
Lounge Care, Maintenance, and Longevity
Regular care keeps your lounge looking and feeling its best.
- Vacuum fabric lounges frequently to prevent dust build-up
- Condition leather occasionally to avoid drying or cracking
- Blot spills immediately instead of rubbing
- Rotate cushions to distribute wear evenly
- Plump feather-filled cushions daily to maintain shape
Always follow the manufacturer's care guidelines for the best results.
