Choosing furniture isn’t just about filling a space—it’s about creating a home that reflects your style, fits your lifestyle, and functions effortlessly for everyday living. Whether you’re furnishing a brand-new home or refreshing your current space, this room-by-room guide will help you make the best decisions for comfort, practicality, and timeless appeal. And the best part? Every piece mentioned is available to explore and shop at Our Furniture Warehouse with fast, Australia-wide delivery.

Living Room: Comfort Meets Functionality

The living room is the heart of most homes—where we relax, entertain, and spend quality time with family. Choosing the right living room furniture comes down to layout, comfort, and your preferred design style.

Start with a well-sized lounge or sofa that suits your family size and room proportions. Our range of living room furniture includes everything from compact 2-seaters to luxurious reclining lounges with electric features. Don't forget to pair it with practical yet stylish additions like TV units, coffee tables, and buffets that offer extra storage and enhance your layout.

Handy hint: Choose neutral tones for versatility and add colour through cushions, throws, or a feature armchair.

Bedroom: A Personal Sanctuary

When choosing bedroom furniture, think comfort, serenity, and storage. Your bed is the centrepiece, so decide whether you want the grand presence of a king bed or the versatility of a queen size bed. Our bedroom packages make it easy to create a cohesive look with matching tallboys, bedsides, and dressing tables.

For storage, consider a tallboy chest for compact vertical space or bedside chests with drawers to keep nighttime essentials close. If you need extra support, explore our range of mattresses, all handpicked for comfort and backed by industry-leading warranties.

Style tip: Blend hardwood furniture with soft linen or textured cushions to create a space that feels both grounded and relaxing.

Dining Room: Style and Function at the Table

Your dining furniture should suit both your everyday meals and those big family gatherings. At Our Furniture Warehouse, we offer dining tables in a variety of materials, from sustainably sourced Australian hardwoods to elegant ceramic tops. Pair with solid, comfortable dining chairs or even a bench seat for added versatility.

Don’t overlook the value of a good buffet or sideboard—perfect for storing dinnerware, linens, or hosting a weekend grazing board.

Quick tip: Measure your dining space first and leave around 90cm clearance around the table to move chairs comfortably.

Outdoor Living: Extend Your Home Outside

Make the most of your backyard or balcony with quality outdoor furniture that can handle Australia’s climate. Our collection includes everything from casual outdoor tables and chairs to stylish lounge sets and patio furniture.

Look for powder-coated aluminium frames and durable outdoor fabrics for long-term use. Add a pop of colour with outdoor cushions or keep things neutral with earthy tones and timber finishes.

Design tip: Create zones with rugs or potted plants to visually break up your outdoor space and define areas for dining vs lounging.

Every room in your home deserves furniture that fits beautifully, feels comfortable, and reflects your personal style. From bedrooms to balconies, Our Furniture Warehouse offers quality, value, and convenience—with most items ready to ship Australia-wide. Shop our full range today and let your home come to life.
