A modern southern-style living room for me-time and we-time

Take a peek into a contemporary home offering a clever, space-efficient and inspiring take on generational living. This living room simplifies socialising and more secluded activities at a time when both are equally needed, while also delivering on comfort and style.

A light, bright living room with a KIVIK corner sofa and with colourful cushions, a throw and a centrally placed footstool.

Highlight the fine print

A good bookcase has something for everyone – classic novels, glossy magazines, plants and decoration. When you find the right balance, give it the spotlight it deserves. With a cordless TVÅMASTAD lamp for instant flexibility and a row of dimmable YTBERG cabinet lighting, you have a set-up for any time of day.

Add a few more light sources in your favourite spots, and you give every visitor a chance to read the room just the way you intended.

BILLY the transformer – a hidden desk for getting stuff done

This calm reading corner shows this room’s flexibility at its peak. When there’s need for a study session or the like, you simply pull out the cleverly wheeled section of the BILLY bookcase, the built-in drop leaf pops into place, and voilà – you have a BILLY desk space! The room-dividing curtains add a layer of seclusion, whether it’s for a focused session at the desk or a relaxing moment to yourself.

A sofa for bringing people together, and then some

Fit a full family, have it all to yourself, or something in-between? The generous size, wide low armrests and pocket springs make KIVIK sofa series the best seats in the house, whatever the occasion. Besides space to seat your closest circle and a few more, the copious comfort works just as well when it’s just you and select snacks on the menu.

Storage and comfort for easy transitions

This social hub of the home is designed to smoothly shift between activities. A wall-mounted combination of cabinets keeps games, extra textiles, even refreshments a two-step walk away. And in case guests are staying for longer, KIVIK chair beds offer flexible sleeping arrangements.

Soft in the centre, layers of function all around

It’s no coincidence that this hallway opens up directly to the sofa group. This living room is intended to be a meeting spot and a place of comfort. Daylight, plants and textiles bring a sense of freshness, while ample storage solutions – even a makeshift desk space – make sure that all you need is within easy reach.
