Always carefully lift furniture when moving it around the home and never drag it.
Rotate cushions regularly to even out wear and fading.
Use floor protectors on the bottoms of furniture (such as tables and chairs) to minimise damage to floor coverings.
Use coasters, placemats, tablecloths and table runners to protect furniture surfaces from heat and stains.
Anchor your furniture to a wall for added safety.
Keep your pets off the furniture to avoid any little “accidents” or damage.
DO NOT
Place any indoor furniture in direct sunlight as this may cause fabric, leather and other materials to fade or crack. Direct sunlight includes sunlight through a window - use curtains or blinds to protect your furniture.
Place furniture too close to a heater or air conditioning vent as this may distort the material or surface finish.
Avoid sitting on the arms of sofas and chairs. They’re not designed for that.
Avoid standing on chairs and stools or rocking on the back of them, as this may weaken the structure and possibly cause joint failure.
