Leave nice notes on magnetic doors

Magnetic doors make it easy to hang reminders to roommates, or post polaroids. Label boxes and baskets to keep everyone’s things organized. Personalize your property, too: play with it, paint it and make it yours!

Lamps on a TV bench

Place a lamp on your coffee table or on a TV bench. Direct the light to what you’re doing or what you want others to see.

Save space with sofa-based storage

There’s more storage than meets the eye. VALLENTUNA sofa has an optional storage unit to store blankets, bedding and extra cushions, making it perfect for stayovers and small spaces. The covers are also removable and machine washable. (So accidents can happen.)
