Perfect Pairings for Your Living Room Design
Sitting rooms are for sitting in. Living rooms are for living in! And we’re all about living! For us, apart from our kitchen dining room, our living room is the most used room in our home. It’s the room we go to read, play games and music, watch movies, relax and cuddle. And to reflect our life, our living room is full of life – from our modern velvet sofa, to our mid-century furniture, from our custom built shelving to our ‘off the rail’ furnishings. With the addition of some of our favourite art, antique finds, souvenirs from our travels and our little boys favourite toys, and it’s nearing perfect. It’s not there yet, but it’s on its way.
