Moving into a new flat is exciting, and it usually comes with a long shopping list. Before you start on cushions, lamps and rugs, there are three pieces that deserve your attention first: the sofa, the dining table and the bed. They are the largest items you will buy, they decide how every room is laid out, and in a Hong Kong apartment they are the ones most likely to go wrong if they are chosen in a hurry.

After more than 20 years of furnishing Hong Kong homes, we see the same pattern again and again. When the big three are planned together, around real measurements, everything else falls into place. When they are bought one at a time from different showrooms, people end up with a sofa that blocks the balcony door, a dining table that leaves no room to pull out a chair, and a bed with nowhere to store the suitcases.

In most Hong Kong living rooms, the TV wall is the one stretch of wall without a window, a door or an air conditioner on it. That makes the TV unit, and the sideboard that often sits beside the dining table, the main storage in the room. Choose well and they hide the router, the cables, the board games and the takeaway menus. Choose badly and they eat into the walkway, look too small for the screen, or leave you with clutter on every surface.

After more than 20 years of furnishing Hong Kong apartments, here is how we help clients choose and size a TV unit and sideboard that actually work.

Start with the Wall, Not the Catalogue
