This living room is one of my favourites for several reasons. Initially, it was an odd trapezium shape which meant that storage and a comfortable furniture layout was very tricky. We designed joinery to go along the back of the room which squared the space up nicely whilst providing storage and a nook for the client’s keyboard. The client was a musician who needed space not only for a keyboard but several guitars and a didgeridoo, the joinery made it possible to store or display all of these items and more! The ceiling ‘drum’ pendant also referenced the client’s love for music, and the coffee table could be converted to a dining table for six, which maximised the flexibility of the room.

Media Room Large comfortable sectional fronted by oversize coffee table is perfect for both table games and movie viewing – and when company is staying, the sectional doubles as two twin size beds. Drapes hide a full length closet for clothing and bedding – no doors required, so sound is absorbed and the area is free of the harshness of ordinary media rooms. Zebra wood desk in foreground allows this room to triple as an office!
