Compare the options
- Set the brief
- Use templates at the size of the actual furniture. Include seated users, open drawers and reclined positions where relevant.
- Compare
- Decide which items need to move independently and which benefit from built-in anchoring.
- Before buying
- Confirm that the largest pieces can turn at the entrance, lift lobby and corridor, or specify assembly in place.
Worked example
A living room sofa must fit through a tight stair turn and leave room for a side table and a reclined seat.
Compare modular sections with a fixed sofa using the actual stair and doorway measurements. Include recliner extension and table reach in the room template before selecting upholstery.
How to test it
Overlay the furniture in its stored and in-use positions, then check both against the measured plan.
Apply it to this space
- Layout
- Place seats near the front with a direct view to reception and keep them outside station and wash circulation.
- Detail
- Use easy-clean upholstery, side tables for drinks, and warm light distinct from service task lighting.
- Trade-off
- A lounge-like wait zone improves comfort but can invite longer stays.
- Walk from waiting seat to service chair
- Check conversation noise against nearby consultations
