An airy living room for the whole family
We paced this huge sofa in the middle of the room to create an airy atmosphere, and to make it the centrepiece. Here’s how to get a fresh, organised look — even if everyone is in the living room.
Curl up on the couch with a late night read (if the children are asleep, that is). Tilt the lamp’s head and arm to get the light just right.
The key to keeping a living room clutter-free? Storage, and lots of it. Closed drawers make it easy to hide things you don’t want visitors to see.
Store and show off in the same place. We organised books and binders vertically and horizontally in stacks to create interest. Lights were installed on top to let the collection shine.
Get a coffee table that moves at the same pace as your family. Take plates, brunch, books and doodle pads around the living room with a set of lightweight nesting tables.
