Start strong by defining the entrance with rich red velvet stanchions. They signal exclusivity, create visual drama, and let guests know they’re in for something special the moment they arrive.

 

2. Choose the Right Sofa: The Matisse

The Matisse sofa is a showstopper—elegant, comfortable, and spacious enough for groups. Its sculptural silhouette adds visual intrigue while anchoring your lounge with sophistication and style.

 

3. Create Intimacy with Partition Walls
