Home 6| Never standing still: modular furniture for a flexible living room
Night turns to day, work turns to play, people come, people go. Life is always changing, so why shouldn’t your living room? Let the welcoming living area of a large family show you how, with flexible furniture that can switch seamlessly from one activity to the next. Layered with plants and personal collections, it’s hard to believe that this inspiring space was pulled together on the tightest of budgets!
Business or leisure?This family didn’t have the luxury of a separate office room, and weren’t too fond of laptops taking over the dining table. So, with a bit of clever shuffling, they’ve made space for working in here. Floating the sofa away from the walls frees up just enough room behind for a two-seater desk, plus a compact wall of work-related storage in the corner. Three drawer units - with designated drawers for every family member - can be wheeled in and out whenever needed. |
| Keeping work out of sight and mind – for a steal!
Pull together this wall of paperwork-banishing smartness for less than you'd expect: three HELMER drawer units, three LACK shelves and one NÄVLINGE LED work lamp for low price. |
Loved and lived in
Yes, this hard-working room also has a softer side. Decorated with plants, art, travel souvenirs and hand-me-downs, it exudes a warm and happy history where you can feel the many happy memories that have been made.
Contrast keeps things interesting
The room’s black and white base is not just eye-catching, but also easy to co-ordinate and add onto. Here, cushions and textiles in gold and graphic patterns are mixed in for an unexpected twist.
It's okay to break the rules
Even if black, white and grey reign supreme in this space, a few touches of gold and mustard add some much-needed warmth.
Anytime, anywhere flexibility
Little side tables wait patiently in the wings, ready to appear when a book or coffee cup needs putting down. And as for that easy chair? True to its name, the lightweight design makes it a breeze to pick up and move about the room.
Get the look
It looks so impressive, but this bold colour combination is actually one of the simplest to pull together. Mix together different shapes, sizes and materials for serious impact.
