Custom Lounges in Sherwood — Sofas Sized for Two-Bedroom Flats and Family Houses
Made to order in Brisbane at our Salisbury workshop, at whatever size your home calls for
Sherwood has more two-bedroom homes than three-bedroom ones. The 2021 Census put two-bedroom dwellings at 32.1% of the suburb against 28.8% with three, and almost a third of homes are flats or apartments. Stock lounges come in set sizes, which may suit neither a compact two-bedroom flat nor one of Sherwood's larger houses. A custom lounge in Sherwood is built to order for the room it will stand in, made in Brisbane at our workshop at 12c Chrome Street, Salisbury. Integrity Lounge Designs has been making custom lounges since 1999, and every Sherwood quote is free.
A made-to-order lounge begins with the room, not the showroom. We start by understanding your space, how you live in it and the look you are after, then take the design through measurements and fabric selection before the frame is built and the upholstery goes on.
That order of work matters most where rooms are unusual sizes. A flat's living area might suit a two-seater a few centimetres shorter than anything in stock, while a house further along the street might need a long sofa with a matching ottoman. Both are ordinary requests for custom lounges in Sherwood.
Local knowledge
Wikipedia places Sherwood 8.3 kilometres south-west of the Brisbane CBD, bounded by the median of the Brisbane River towards the west. Sherwood Arboretum, a large botanical garden and lake planned and landscaped in the 1920s, occupies the western side of the suburb along the river, while Thomas Street Park and Strickland Terrace Park sit at the eastern end beside Oxley Creek.
Between the river and the creek, the housing is far more mixed than the national pattern. Separate houses account for 51.5% of Sherwood dwellings against 72.3% across Australia, townhouses and semi-detached homes for 16.1% against 12.6%, and flats or apartments for 31.8%, more than double the national 14.2%. Two-bedroom homes make up 32.1% of the stock, where the national share is 19.1%, yet 31.0% of dwellings still have four or more bedrooms.
The people in those homes reflect the same spread. Sherwood's 6,082 residents average 2.3 people per household, compared with 2.5 nationally, and family households make up 64.6% of the total against 70.5% across the country.
So there is no typical Sherwood living room to design for. A two-bedroom flat calls for a lounge that seats two or three without crowding the floor, while a four-bedroom house may want a complete seating arrangement. That range is precisely why a custom lounge in Sherwood makes sense: the size is set by your room, whichever end of the scale it sits at.
Sherwood has no Integrity Lounge Designs shopfront, showroom or branch. Each custom lounge in Sherwood is designed and made at our Salisbury workshop, and none of our team is based in the suburb.
Workshop notes
With 31.8% of Sherwood homes being flats or apartments, many living rooms are compact.
An oversized lounge blocks walkways and makes a small room feel smaller.
Our lounges are built to order, so the length and depth come from your measurements rather than a fixed catalogue size.
Sherwood households average 2.3 people, so a lounge often serves a couple or a single resident.
A lounge with too many seats wastes space, while one that is too small is uncomfortable to stretch out on.
We design a single statement sofa around the people who will actually use it, with cushioning chosen to suit how you sit.
Almost a third of Sherwood dwellings have four or more bedrooms, and their living areas can take more than one piece.
Pieces bought separately rarely work together in one room.
We build complete seating arrangements, and our custom-made range adds ottomans, bench seating and bar stools designed alongside the lounge.
In a suburb where many households live in flats and townhouses, furniture may need to suit more than one home over its life.
A cheaply built piece rarely survives several homes in good shape.
Every lounge is built on a high-grade timber frame with precision-cut foam and commercial-grade upholstery fabric.
A custom lounge is a long-term choice, and the options can feel overwhelming.
A colour or texture chosen in a hurry is hard to live with for years.
You choose from a wide range of fabrics, leather options, colours, cushioning and design styles, with guidance on materials suited to Brisbane's sun and humidity.
Cafés, offices and waiting areas rarely have a floor plan that suits standard furniture.
Ill-fitting seating wastes covers in a café and space in a waiting room.
We build banquette and booth seating for cafés and restaurants, and custom configurations to match a venue's layout, as well as seating for offices, hotels, waiting areas and retail.

Custom furniture for businesses
The workshop
Integrity Lounge Designs has built custom lounge furniture to order since 1999 and describes its lounges as Australian-made, all produced at one workshop at 12c Chrome Street, Salisbury QLD 4107. Each commission follows the same path, from understanding the space through measurements and fabric selection to frame construction and final upholstery. You receive a timeframe once your requirements are discussed, and we keep you informed during design and manufacture. Our custom range also extends to ottomans, bar stools, bench seating, banquet seating, wall panelling and bar fronts. Sherwood clients can phone between 7:00am and 4:00pm from Monday to Thursday or between 7:00am and 12:00pm on Friday, and Saturdays are available by appointment.

We begin by understanding your space, lifestyle and vision. Then come measurements and fabric selection, followed by frame construction and the final upholstery.
