Living the lounge life

This older couple likes to spend time together in their spacious living room abode. There are plenty of BILLY bookshelves to store magazines, memories - and even some secrets stashed away behind mesh shelves.

Sofas and armchairs for maximum comfort

The more room, the merrier! Two sofa units make an ultra-comfortable, ultra-flexible living room. Sprawl across a sofa, take a power nap, read a book or just relax.

Coffee table display

The coffee table is a place for your treasures to shine. This couple brought out their favorite trinkets and titles. Keep things safe in a dome case, and stack books at varying levels to create an interesting centerpiece.

Pendant lamps bring light and style

Add a pendant (or a pair) to create a centerpiece that also offers warm lighting. Hanging lamps provide decorative light that adds coziness and intimacy. Overhead spotlights on top of the bookcase and inside each shelf illuminate the artwork and architecture you treasure most.

Show off your stuff on display shelves

Show off collector books and photography, or hold your tablet on these sloped shelves. The best part? Lift the cover to reveal items you want to keep secret.

Potted plants for your indoor greenery

Create your own indoor oasis: all you need is a bench to place your pots and plants. Placing them by the window ensures they can grow, while sheer curtains invite natural light inside.
