Why a sofa in the middle of the room can give you more space

Single life in the city can be big on excitement but small on apartment space. When your sofa is also your bed and your living room is also your bedroom, you can place your furniture in the middle of the room to free-up space around the walls for storage. Then you’ll always be surrounded by your favourite things.

A bright idea

Placed on the compact desk directly behind the sofa, the same lamp can be both a functional work light and a cosy reading lamp.
