A playful living room that keeps up with family life

When everyday life is centred around young children, there’s little time and energy for anything else. Luckily, this family room has your back. Keeping clutter at bay, kids entertained and comfort close – this family room becomes a reliable hub for play, togetherness and relaxation, ready to adapt as the day unfolds.

Blend in or stand out

Depending on how you arrange it, a BESTÅ storage combination can almost blend into the surrounding wall – or become the room’s centre of attention. Here, a mix of calm fronts and a column of open shelves balances space-efficient volume with accessibility and a tailored look. The cabinets hold the props for every pastime imaginable, while the shelving leaves room for decoration and display. Not to mention cushions, throws and bed linen for when the living room needs to double as a guest room.

Part pirate ship, part comfort hub

From play sessions to board-game gatherings and movie nights, this is the place to be. Centred around the SALTSJÖBADEN super combo of a sofa-bed and rocking chair, the seating is supported by handy surfaces – not least the clever KRAMPHULT armrest tray and the clutter-vanishing BORGEBY coffee table. Add well-chosen lighting, textiles and accessories to make relaxing breaks come easy. If you’re not in the middle of a friendly naval battle, that is.

Flexibility comes rolling into view – and back out, too

In a home where floor space is limited, zones and furniture that can serve multiple purposes are great allies. Take the NÅLMAKARE cabinet on castors: it holds a lot and can be tucked away in a corner when not in use. When it’s time to shine, simply roll it out to where it’s needed – like carrying in a film projector that can turn any free surface into a cinema screen for the night.

From calm to play – and back again

When you least expect it, a soft toy peeks out from its cosy hideout. Then another – and suddenly the whole space is taken over. Thanks to SMÅSTAD bench storage and other accessible bins, the room can shift from calm to full-on play in moments. And just as easily, back to a somewhat organised state.

From playtime to pause

In the middle of an active day, the calmer moments get their turn. With a quick fold-out, the sofa transforms into a generous lounging spot – perfect for a nap, a quiet break or simply slowing down for a while. Cushions and throws stay close at hand, making it easy to switch from play to rest. And when needed, the same setup doubles as a comfortable guest bed.
