Building a living room that works
A living room has to do more than any other space in the house. It's where you unwind in the evening, host friends at the weekend and live with your favourite pieces every day. Start with the largest piece (usually a sofa), then work outward: a coffee table sized to roughly two thirds the length of the sofa, a console table or sideboard against the longest free wall, lighting at three different heights, and finishing touches that reflect how you actually live.
Coffee tables, console tables and side tables
Reclaimed pine pieces like the Augustine bring weight and patina to a room with a natural, lived in feel. Solid oak and elm designs such as the Albany sit comfortably alongside both modern and traditional sofas. For lighter rooms, our rattan, jute and marble topped coffee tables offer the same character without the visual weight. Pair with a console table behind the sofa or against a wall to add storage, surface space and a place to layer lamps, art and accessories.
Lighting, mirrors and soft furnishings
The fastest way to transform a living room is to layer lighting at three heights: a pendant or ceiling light overhead, table lamps on console tables and side tables, and a floor lamp beside a reading chair. A well placed mirror above a console or fireplace bounces light around the room and makes smaller spaces feel larger. Cushions, throws and rugs in natural linen, wool and cotton bring softness and texture to balance the wood.
