A kid-friendly living room with a sleeping surprise

Living with children is an art of storage

Parenting naturally requires a wide set of skills, but having a system for where all the things go certainly doesn’t hurt. Here, it’s taken care of with a convenient mix of open and closed storage. Boxes and magazine files, all accessibly close to the children’s desk, ensure smooth shifting between activities. Then again, even if things are prepped to be taken out and stowed away in orderly manner, the spotlights simplify a nightly sweep of the area.

Playful and practical

Room for everyone, and every activity

In a space that is a pirate ship one moment and backdrop for a laptop video call the next, flexible furniture is a gift. It doesn’t take much, but let’s just say that a TINGBY side table on castors, a multipurpose laptop stand and a pouffe with hidden storage aren’t here by accident. Which in turn makes it easier to move things around and focus on more important stuff: Effortless togetherness, family hangout, and playtime.
