Custom Lounge in Nathan — Sofas and Seating Built to Fit Your Home
Built to order in Brisbane at our Salisbury workshop, just west of Nathan
A custom lounge starts with the room it is going into, and in Nathan that room could be in a compact flat or a four-bedroom house. A sofa bought off a showroom floor will not necessarily suit either. Integrity Lounge Designs builds each custom lounge in Nathan to order at our workshop at 12c Chrome Street, Salisbury, the neighbouring suburb to the west. Since 1999 we have made lounge furniture in Brisbane for homes and businesses, using high-grade timber frames, precision-cut foam and commercial-grade upholstery fabrics.
Buying a lounge usually means choosing from whatever sizes happen to be in stock. Having one made reverses that. The piece is designed around your space first, and the frame, cushioning and cover are decided to suit it.
Our process follows the same steps for every project. We begin by understanding your space, your lifestyle and your vision, move through initial measurements and fabric selection, and then build the frame before the final upholstery goes on. You choose from a wide range of fabrics, leather options, colours, cushioning and design styles, and every lounge is Australian-made, built in Brisbane.
Local knowledge
Nathan's Wikipedia entry opens its geography with Toohey Forest Conservation Park, Griffith University's Nathan campus and the Queensland Sport and Athletics Centre, whose stadium facilities are now used by the Queensland Academy of Sport. The Toohey Forest Environmental Education Centre is on South Ring Road. Homes make up only part of the suburb, and they come in more shapes than its size would suggest.
The 2021 Census shows that mix clearly. Flats or apartments account for 27.5% of Nathan's dwellings, almost double the national share of 14.2%. One-bedroom homes make up 7.5% and two-bedroom homes 15.4%, while 21.0% have four bedrooms or more. The average dwelling has 2.9 bedrooms, just under the Australian average of 3.1, and the average household holds 2.3 people, compared with 2.5 nationally.
Those figures describe living rooms of very different sizes. In a flat, the lounge area might only take a compact two-seater against one wall. In a larger house, there may be room for a full seating arrangement that turns a corner. A custom lounge in Nathan can be either: a single statement sofa or a complete set of seating, built to the measurements of the space rather than to a showroom's stock sizes.
With households averaging just over two people, many Nathan homes need one lounge that does everything well rather than a large suite. That is the case for building to order. You decide the seat depth, the cushioning and the cover, and the piece is made to suit the people who will actually use it.
You will not find an Integrity Lounge Designs shopfront in Nathan. Each custom lounge for a Nathan home is designed and built at our Salisbury workshop, in the suburb that borders Nathan on its west. This page does not indicate a branch, showroom or team based in Nathan.
Workshop notes
Many of Nathan's flats have a living area where only one wall can take a lounge, and stock sofas rarely match its length.
A lounge that is too long blocks a doorway; one that is too short wastes the only seating space in the room.
Every lounge is built to order from initial measurements of the space, so its length and depth are set by your room.
In a four-bedroom home, the living room often has to seat a whole household and its guests at once.
A mismatched collection of separate pieces rarely looks or works like a planned arrangement.
We build complete seating arrangements as well as single sofas, designed together so the pieces suit the room and each other.
With an average of 2.3 people per household, many homes need one lounge rather than a three-piece suite.
Spending on a large set wastes space and money when one well-made piece would do.
A single statement sofa can be made to your preferred size, shape and comfort, as the centrepiece of the room.
Off-the-shelf lounges come in a narrow set of colours and finishes chosen by someone else.
A lounge that clashes with the room spoils an interior that has been put together carefully.
You select from a wide range of fabrics, leather options, colours, cushioning and design styles to match your home.
Cheaply made lounges often rely on frames and foam that lose their shape early.
A new lounge that sags within a few years is a poor return on the money spent.
Your lounge is built on a high-grade timber frame with precision-cut foam and a commercial-grade upholstery fabric. You also choose the cushioning, so the seat feels the way you want it to.
Every custom lounge is different in size, design and materials, so there is no standard timeline.
You need to plan the room around when the new piece will arrive.
As soon as your requirements are clear, we give you a timeframe, and you hear from us at each step as the lounge is designed and made.

Questions
In Salisbury, at our workshop at 12c Chrome Street, just across Nathan's western boundary. Every custom lounge is built to order there, in Brisbane, and there is no shopfront in Nathan.
Yes. Each piece is designed around initial measurements of your space, so a lounge can be sized for a compact living area as readily as for a large one.
Fabric, leather, colour, cushioning and design style are all yours to decide, from a wide range of options. We work through them with you during fabric selection.
It depends on the size, the design and the materials. Once we have discussed your requirements, we give you a clear timeframe and keep you updated throughout design and manufacture.
The frame is high-grade timber, the foam is precision-cut and the cover is a commercial-grade upholstery fabric unless you choose leather. The cushioning and cover are your choice, made during the design stage.
