Custom Lounges in Graceville — Sofas and Modulars Sized for Family Homes
Built to order in Brisbane at our Salisbury workshop, from the timber frame to the final cover
In the 2021 Census, 50.8% of Graceville's dwellings had four or more bedrooms and 88.4% were separate houses. A lounge made for stock is designed around an average room, and those numbers suggest plenty of Graceville living areas are anything but average. Integrity Lounge Designs builds each custom lounge in Graceville to order, made in Brisbane at our workshop at 12c Chrome Street, Salisbury. We have been crafting custom lounge furniture since 1999. Each one begins with your space, the people who will use it and the look you have in mind, and the quote costs nothing.
Commissioning a lounge is a simpler process than many people expect. It starts with a conversation about your room, your routines and what you want the piece to feel like, then moves through measurements and fabric selection before any timber is cut.
From there the workshop builds the frame and finishes with the upholstery. Because each custom lounge in Graceville is made for one particular room, its length, depth and configuration answer to that room rather than to a catalogue.
Local knowledge
According to Wikipedia, Graceville lies 7.8 kilometres south-west of the Brisbane CBD, bordered by the Brisbane River to the north-east and west, Oxley Creek to the east, Chelmer to the north and Sherwood to the south. Its shops gather in two precincts, Graceville Riverside Village on Graceville Avenue and Graceville Fiveways, and its parks include Simpson's Playground, Graceville Memorial Park and Faulkner Park.
Within those boundaries the housing is remarkably consistent. Separate houses make up 88.4% of Graceville dwellings against 72.3% nationally, semi-detached homes and townhouses 8.0%, and flats or apartments only 3.3%. The houses are large as well: 50.8% have four or more bedrooms, compared with 34.8% across Australia, and the average Graceville dwelling has 3.6 bedrooms where the national figure is 3.1.
They also hold more people. Households average 2.9 people against 2.5 nationally, and the Census counted 1,303 families among the suburb's 4,764 residents. A lounge here usually has to seat a whole family at the same time, not one or two people at either end.
Size and headcount together change the brief. A four-bedroom house may have a family room as well as a formal living room, a big room can make an ordinary three-seater look lost, and a family of four or five needs enough seats for everyone on movie night. That is the argument for a custom lounge in Graceville: seating proportioned to the room and the household, whether that is a single statement sofa or a complete seating arrangement.
We have no Graceville shopfront or showroom. Every custom lounge in Graceville is designed and built at our Salisbury workshop, and no branch or team of ours is based in the suburb.
Workshop notes
Many Graceville homes have four or more bedrooms, and their living areas are scaled to match.
A lounge sized for an average room can look undersized and leave the space feeling unfinished.
Every lounge we make is built to order, so its length and depth are set from the measurements of your room rather than from a stock range.
At 2.9 people per household, Graceville homes often need seating for four or five at once.
When the lounge seats fewer people than live in the house, someone always ends up on the floor or a dining chair.
We build anything from one statement sofa to a complete seating arrangement, so the number of seats is part of the design from the start.
Lounges in family homes are climbed on, jumped on and leaned against far more than showroom pieces are designed for.
A weak frame or cheap foam shows within a few years, however good the cover looks.
Our lounges are built on high-grade timber frames with precision-cut foam and commercial-grade upholstery fabrics.
Living rooms here face sun, humidity and daily use all at once.
A fabric chosen on looks alone may fade or wear early.
You choose from a wide range of fabrics, leather options, colours, cushioning and design styles, and we point you towards materials suited to sun, humidity and the way the lounge will be used.
A new lounge often prompts the question of a matching ottoman, bench seat or set of bar stools.
Pieces bought separately rarely sit comfortably beside a made-to-order lounge.
Our custom-made range also covers ottomans, bar stools, bench seating and banquet seating, so companion pieces can be designed alongside the lounge.
Every custom lounge is different, so no single timeframe fits every order.
Families planning around a move or a room makeover need to know what to expect.
We give you a timeframe once your requirements are discussed and keep you informed through design and manufacture.

Scope and pricing
Where we work
Questions
With a conversation about your space, the way your household lives and the look you want. That leads to measurements and fabric selection, then frame construction and, last of all, the upholstery.
Yes. Each lounge is built to order, so its size and configuration come from your room. In a big Graceville living area that might mean a longer sofa or several pieces designed as one arrangement.
A high-grade timber frame, precision-cut foam and commercial-grade upholstery fabric, or leather if you prefer. The choice of cushioning is yours as well.
Our custom-made range includes ottomans, bench seating and bar stools, so they can be designed with your custom lounge in Graceville and finished in the same materials.
It depends on the design, fabric and size, so we give you a timeframe once your requirements are discussed. We keep you informed from design right through manufacture.
