A multipurpose living room for play, sleep and doing hobbies, too

Feel your home is too small for all the things you need it to do? This multipurpose living room for the whole family is even ready to work the night shift. There’s a sofa-bed in the middle, creating a zone behind it where parents can do hobbies or pay bills while the kids have fun on a play mat nearby. Plus there’s clever, organised storage that helps the room morph from one role to another while always keeping its warm, easy-going heart.

A sofa-bed to sit, sleep and lounge on

Just like many great mattresses, the seat cushions of this EKHOLMA 2-seat sofa-bed are based on pocket springs, giving you both seating and sleeping comfort. Or why not fold it out, throw a duvet and pillows on top and just enjoy lounging around on it? Transforming it from sofa to bed and back is easy and the covers are machine-washable so you can keep that fresh feeling. 

Make every day more fun

The box that becomes a play mat

Do you ever feel that tidying up can take as long as playtime? That’s what inspired designer Lukas Bazle to come up with the GREJSIMOJS mat/storage box. Folded out, it’s a soft surface to play on. Afterwards, just fold it together into a storage box to give toys a home and clear the floor fast. You even have two possible box shapes to choose from. 

Head to toe comfort with hidden storage, too

A STRANDMON wing chair gives you a comfy seat with extra support from the high back and the footstool is great for putting your feet up to stretch out and relax. You even get storage space in the footstool – perfect for keeping magazines, throws and more close at hand but out of the way. 

Your personal space in a multipurpose living room

Trying to find somewhere for a desk in a small living area with a lot going on already? Putting it behind your sofa creates a little room within a room. You get a dedicated zone for hobbies, planning holidays and even putting on your make-up but you’re still at the centre of family life.
