As someone who is fresh out of the nest and excited to style their new home, my first reality check was served to me on a platter when I went furniture shopping and saw the price tags. Furthermore, in the realm of furniture, where choices abound and styles vary, finding the perfect pieces to create a living space that encompassed my personality and style felt like searching for a needle in a haystack. However, nestled within the Australian furniture market is Metro Furniture Group, a family-run enterprise that stands out for its commitment to quality, customisation, and exceptional service. Here is how I was able to design my dream living room with Metro Furniture Group without breaking the bank.
Metro Furniture Group is a family-run business that is now exclusively run by Jessica who has a background in fashion, textiles, and business management. At the age of 15, Jessica began working on the weekends for her father by answering calls and engaging with customers. Later on, she pursued her studies and travelled before deciding to embark on an entrepreneurial career, taking charge of the Metro Furniture Group brand in 2019. Since then, they have been known for their bespoke services, helping style countless Aussie homes without breaking the bank.

Metro Furniture Group understands the daunting task of furnishing a living room, which is why they provide a structured approach to design, emphasising collaboration and customisation. When I first sat down with Jessica, we spoke about my new home’s room dimensions and floor plans, laying the groundwork for a tailored design. Drawing inspiration from platforms like Pinterest and home magazines, the journey continued with the selection of a colour palette that sets just the right tone for the space. Jessica’s meticulous attention to detail helped me pick my new sofa’s fabric, which serves as the centrepiece around which the rest of the furniture is coordinated, ensuring a cohesive look. Subsequently, finer pieces such as coffee tables and accessories were then chosen, each complementing the sofa’s fabric to create a harmonious ensemble. Throughout the process, discussions with Jessica delved into specifics including aesthetics, budget and of course, comfort. From early on Jessica provided fabric samples, ensuring every aspect of my new living room was aligned with my vision and preferences. This collaborative approach resulted in my new living room and sofa exceeding my expectations, and I now have a functional and stylish space that I am in love with.
What sets Metro Furniture Group apart from the crowd is their unwavering commitment to excellence in every aspect of their service. Firstly, they take pride in being Australian made, offering bespoke furniture services without sacrificing affordability. By emphasising locally made products, Metro not only ensures superior quality but also actively contributes to the Australian economy. Furthermore, Metro uses its success to raise funds for Liptember, an organisation that supports women’s mental health and wellbeing and donates yearly to fund prizes for the Stonnington Toy Library community raffle. It’s these efforts that make supporting a small business all the more worth it.
Moreover, their seamless customisation process, coupled with a reasonable turnaround time of five to six weeks, demonstrates their dedication to meeting customer needs promptly and efficiently. Metro Furniture Group also stands out for its provision of warranties and utilisation of premium materials and high quality fabrics, showcasing a commitment to longevity and durability. As demonstrated in a testimonial from a customer “The quality, customer service and communication throughout the consultation were exceptional,” it is clear that Metro Furniture Group sets a high standard in the furniture industry, providing customers with unparalleled value and satisfaction.
I can now sit pretty knowing that my living room is exactly what I wanted in a space and Metro Furniture Group’s fusion of craftsmanship, customisation, and customer-centric approach ensured this. My living room furniture now tells a unique story, reflecting my distinct tastes and preferences and I couldn’t be happier.
