Set the tone in your living room

Seating with storage, side tables with style – why not choose bold colour to complement smart choices in the living room? From vibrant furniture and clashing pattern to a wall hue that pops, everything in this cheerful space is about expressing the style and flair of whoever lives here.

Many colourful cushions with clashing patterns sit on top of a JÄTTEBO sofa, in front of a mustard coloured wall.

Sitting or standing? You choose.

With a combo of shelving, storage and a sit/stand desk solution, knuckling down at the computer is much less of a chore. A gallery wall of framed prints and colourful accessories add an extra something special to this corner, because when it’s not a work zone, this area is all about creative pursuits.
