DECORATING LIVING ROOM WITH LARGE FAMILY SOFA
LARGE SOFA – THE HEART OF THE HOME
Furnishing an apartment where both design and everyday life have a place is not always easy – especially if you love to socialise. For Shabnam and her husband, the home is about warmth, closeness, and space for conversation. With a large, soft family sofa at the centre, the living room has been transformed into a cosy gathering place.
SHABNAM'S EVERYDAY LIFE – WITH WARMTH IN FOCUS
Shabnam lives with her husband in an apartment in Vasastan, Stockholm. They share a passion for cooking and love to invite friends and family over to relax and enjoy each other's company. For Shabnam, it's the small moments in everyday life that mean the most.
If she were to describe her home in three words, she would say: personal, cosy, and harmonious. They convey a warm and welcoming feeling – that's why it has been important to furnish with flexible furniture, soft textiles, and plenty of space for conversation. They want to create a home where everyone feels at home.
THE CHOICE OF A LARGE, SOFT SOFA
When it was time to choose a new sofa for the living room, the couple had some clear preferences:
“
For me, it is important that the sofa is both comfortable and aesthetically appealing – it should feel inviting and endure over time, both in quality and style. I love the design!
”Shabnam explains that the sofa is both stylish and incredibly soft – a perfect place to settle for long conversations, movie nights, or when the whole family comes over. It combines comfort with elegance and is a natural place in their social everyday life.
ADAPTABLE NESTING TABLES THAT FIT EVERYWHERE
For the large sofa, the couple has chosen to complement with the YUMI nesting tables in a dark brown finish – a combination of elegance and function. Shabnam describes them as both stylish and practical.
The tables come in two different sizes and can be used in several ways:
– as a classic coffee table in front of the sofa
– as a side table for support
– or separated into different parts of the home
They look just as nice together as they do separately – and help to create the flexible and inviting feeling that Shabnam strives for in her home.
