A traditional living room with space for everyone

Here’s a traditional living room where the whole family can feel at home. Well-organised storage and a comfortable, generous corner sofa mean there’s a place for everyone and the things they need and love. It has a relaxing vibe, a cosy colour palette and a warm, welcoming feel.

Plenty of storage and traditional style

There’s a lot of both thanks to these tall IDANÄS bookcases and high cabinet. Open shelves let you display things or you can keep them dust-free but visible behind glass doors. Lamps on top illuminate favourite objects and provide atmospheric light. KVARNVIK boxes, with their elegant details, organise smaller things.

A coffee table that cuts clutter

This coffee table literally puts storage at the centre of this room. It has three levels – an easy-to-clean glass top, a shelf underneath and a drawer where you can keep things tidily out of sight. The glass lightens up your space and turns the lower shelf into a display area, too. The coffee table is part of the same IDANÄS series as the bookcases and the high cabinet, so they all match perfectly.

The comfy sofa with big possibilities

There are lots of ways to relax with this EKHOLMA corner sofa. Like stretching out on the chaise lounge. Or leaning against the comfy curved armrest with a good book while the RÖDFLIK lamp’s adjustable head shines light on the page. You can add more comfort and beauty with your own mix of extra cushions and throws.

Soft fabrics, softer light

Curtains can help make your room feel cosier and more furnished. And here, these DYTÅG dark beige curtains with their subdued colour and 100% linen material help set the warm, classic style, too. They, along with the RINGBLOMMA Roman blind, also provide privacy and filter the daylight coming into the room.

A cosy haven for hobbies and more

Everyone in the family needs a comfortable seat and here a ROCKSJÖN armchair creates a cosy corner for reading or hobbies. The adjustable head of the RÖDFLIK lamp means you can direct the light onto a book or your knitting. The armchair is a great match for the sofa, too. They share a traditional style, and both even have similar decorative piping.

Storage and the sofa make space to relax in

Well-organised storage with a classic look and a generous sofa, enhanced by extra cushions and throws, are the keys to this room for the whole family. Add a cosy colour palette – dark furniture as a base and beiges and browns for warmth – and you have a living room that welcomes everyone and helps them to relax.
