3 ways to make a living room with room for everything

Hectic working weeks and full family schedules can mean that the last thing you have time for is cleaning up your living room. Here’s three ways to work with storage so that everything’s easily organised every day.

Meet Danielle, Byron and Coopa. They live in the southern suburbs of Perth not too far from where the city becomes countryside.

With the family juggling busy school and work schedules, we looked to help out and create a living room that works during the week to keep everything organised, and helps the family to relax on the weekend.

We used the BESTÅ system to create storage for the family’s books, music and movie watching material. This multi-purpose solution keeps the room organised and displays their favourite things.

“I’ve got a big family and I like to have everyone over but it’s difficult to have a seat for everyone,” Danielle says. We’re huge fans of adaptable furniture like the STUVA bench which not only stores Byron and Coopa’s toys, but works great as an extra kid’s seat.

Lighting is a fantastic way to bring out the deco powers of your storage and adjust the ambience of your room. These OMLÖPP LED spotlights can even be adjusted by remote so the room can be dimmed to create a relaxed and tranquil space.
