Being someone who loves spending time watching great movies, when Mel and I bought our house having the perfect living room space was really important to me. Above the day to day, we love to host people whether it’s friends or family! I find that the party ends up in one of two places, the kitchen, or the living room. Being an 80’s kid, nothing beats company with some board games. It’s one of the most effective ways to entertain guests and disconnect from our electronics addicted lives. For me having a space that’s modern, functional, and most importantly comfortable is so important. Choosing the right seating, and coffee tables can be quite the challenge. Luckily I recently discovered Structube and their offerings. I wanted to find a place that wasn’t your standard furniture warehouse, that had modern, yet comfortable pieces. But of course, I’m always trying to be conscious of what I spend.
Originally I wanted a full sectional, and all the fixings to go with it, however like a lot of initial wants when you are trying to furnish any room there are limitations. Mine being space, Mel and I agreed it just wouldn’t be functional and would literally take up the entire room. So we opted for a couch with a built-in chaise which ended working out quite well. We picked up the Kinsey Leather Sectional in grey so it would match the house aesthetic regardless if we decide to change it in the future.
As for the coffee table, I wanted something a little more functional than a standard table, we were able to find an EVO Coffee Table which is PERFECTION! It’s got a top that rises so it transforms into a pullout eating table for those nights you just want to watch a movie with dinner. It also has ample storage space, which I was pleasantly surprised with.
These were the two major components we needed I left the rest to Mel to decide on the fixings to go with the table and sofa. She ended up going with a set of Taj Nesting Tables to hold our table lamp as well as a scent diffuser. We opted to save space seeing as how our house is quite narrow, I wall mounted my TV and opted out of getting a standard media unit.
Adding some artificial plants, some baskets to hold our blankets, a couple of throw pillows for accents and we were off to the races. I’m super happy with how it all turned out and spend quite a bit of time enjoying the space and comfort of having a living room that I actually wanted!
