A kid-friendly living room with a sleeping surprise
Living with children is an art of storage
Parenting naturally requires a wide set of skills, but having a system for where all the things go certainly doesn’t hurt. Here, it’s taken care of with a convenient mix of open and closed storage. Boxes and magazine files, all accessibly close to the children’s desk, ensure smooth shifting between activities. Then again, even if things are prepped to be taken out and stowed away in orderly manner, the spotlights simplify a nightly sweep of the area.
Playful and practical
Room for everyone – and every activity
In a space that is a pirate ship one moment and backdrop for a laptop video call the next, flexible furniture is a gift. It doesn’t take much, but let’s just say that a TINGBY side table on castors, a multipurpose laptop stand and a pouffe with hidden storage aren’t here by accident. Which in turn makes it easier to move things around and focus on more important stuff – effortless togetherness, family hangout, and playtime.
Look, it’s a bedroom!
When light wanes and energy drains, it turns out that this living room is just getting started. From the comfy depths of the BÅRSLÖV sofa-bed comes – a just as comfortable bed for the night, and the living room is swiftly and easily transformed for a good night’s sleep.
Heading into the night shift
Curtains are drawn, here come the bedtime stories
The sun doesn’t always play ball – suddenly it stays out when a bit of darkness would work better for sleepy children. Block-out curtains give you absolute light control no matter the time of day, adding a relaxing hint of cocooning. It may even work well enough to let you catch a glimpse of the sunset, once the kids drift off.
A living room full of life, and full of calm
Centred around a main piece that works double shifts, this living room is planned for all hours of the day. It’s a trick that applies to a good share of the furniture, working as clever enablers by doing more than their share. As a result, the room may run like clockwork – but is still able to greet inhabitants and visitors alike as a home of colours, comfort and play.
