Your First Own Home, With Room For Everyone You Know

Your own front door is only the beginning. Furnishing it so friends can stay, clothes have air to breathe, and every corner earns its keep takes a bit more thought. Here is how to make a small space feel generous.

Your First Own Home, With Room For Everyone You Know

Sleep over, or sleep under?

The VIHALS trundle bed is a complete bed that tucks neatly beneath your regular day-bed, ready to be pulled out whenever someone needs a place to stay the night. It disappears from sight until it is needed, which makes it a quiet, clever solution for a room that has to do more than one job.

Or perhaps you flip the arrangement entirely, using the trundle bed as your own and keeping the day-bed free for guests. Either way, you get somewhere comfortable to spend your days, a good night's sleep, and always a spare bed for a friend.

Open storage for open minds

The OMAR shelving unit with clothes rail is exactly as simple as it looks, and that simplicity is the whole point. It is easy to overlook in a showroom yet easy to live with once it is home, easy to use day to day, and easy to adapt with other accessories from the same range or paired with a second storage unit.

Beyond the practicality, open shelving like this keeps clothes and belongings aired rather than crammed away, which means less creasing and, happily, less laundry to keep on top of.

Storage up, over and around

PLATSA lets you build a full storage wall, floor to ceiling, without taking up any more room than a single wardrobe would. It is a way of thinking vertically when floorspace is in short supply, turning empty air above head height into somewhere genuinely useful.

Keep a stool nearby and even the highest compartments stay within easy reach. Add a mirror to the front, and the benefit doubles: it is there to check your reflection, certainly, but it also bounces light back into the room and makes the whole space feel larger than it is.

Colour me happy

A room does not need to shout to have character. Small, colourful details, a cushion, a vase, a picture frame, do the work of adding warmth and personality without ever competing with the person who actually lives there.

Think of colour as seasoning rather than the main dish. Used sparingly against a calm background, it lifts a room instantly and can be changed on a whim whenever the mood calls for something new.

Storage in piles or drawers? Why choose?

The VIHALS chest of drawers works as hard as decoration as it does as storage. Once everything has been tucked away into its deep drawers, the top surface is left free for the things you actually want on display, a lamp, a plant, a favourite object.

For everything else that tends to end up in piles on the floor, DIMPA sorting bags or KNAGGLIG pine boxes step in neatly. They are equally at home holding laundry, magazines, or spare pillows, giving loose belongings somewhere proper to live.

Welcome to the lounge

Fancy hotels give it a grand name, but a lounge is really nothing more than a comfortable chair in a good spot. There is no need to overthink it at home, a well-placed armchair and a little intention are all it takes.

Add a few favourite objects nearby, things that are pleasant to rest your eyes on, and the corner becomes somewhere you actually want to sit. Welcome to the lounge, however modest its square footage.
