A modern, creative space with an industrial look

Do you wish you had a spare room for your side projects? Think outside the box and sneak your crafting space into your living room instead with a desk, storage furniture, and lighting ideas that harmonise with the rest of the room. The result? A refined look that hides your hobby hub between creative sessions.

Room for hobbies, all with a seamless style

This corner blends in well, thanks to the coordinated pieces of the ALEX series. The modern desk and storage units are sleek and versatile with their muted colours, cutout handles and clean, straight lines. Roomy drawers make taking out and putting away your notebooks, mood boards, and hobby supplies fast and easy.

A perfect hideaway for your hobby supplies

A drawer unit on wheels extends your desk surface and lets you store your most-used items nearby. It matches the desk perfectly in style and height which creates visual calm. Organising inside the drawers means being ready when inspiration hits. Just pull your boxes and organisers out and place them on your desk. When you’re done, put them inside the drawer again.

Function meets flair

Show off your personality and join the hobby zone and living room by curating a gallery of your favourite art projects, entertaining systems, and mood lighting. Stash space-craving books, sketches, and treasured objects inside the wide ALEX drawer units and have them double as a display area for a few well-chosen items.

Showcase your creativity, minus the dust bunnies

Store your artwork and smooth the line between your living room and creative space with furniture that ties it all together.

  • These BESTÅ cabinets have a grey finish that matches the desk and storage. None of these pieces have handles, knobs or decorative elements – important style aspects for a coherent look when combining different furniture.
  • The deep drawers in BESTÅ can hold more bulky items and make tidying up your workspace fast and easy.
  • Glass doors protect from dust and the spotlights inside the cabinets (a great add-on buy) add atmosphere to the entire room while highlighting colours, shapes, materials, and interesting surfaces of whatever you want to display.
  • Little pops of colour from your creations add life and personality to your living space – and will put a smile on your face every time you see them.

Done for the day?

When your creativity is in “off mode”, you can keep all your things out of sight – and your living room look fine and pulled together – with sleek, functional storage and a modern, matching desk with clever cable management. Last but not least, choose a comfortable, supportive swivel chair with a soft shape that blends in and could pass as an inviting armchair.
