A design-centric office
You’ve finally got the keys to your new flat and can’t wait to impress your friends, family or partner with your decorating skills. It’s time to embrace your artistic side and create your very own bespoke design, but there’s just one catch... the living room is tiny and you’re not sure how to fit everything you want into the space. Don’t panic! We’re going to take things step by step, looking around five different spaces that offer plenty of inspiration for organising your living room.
The Samsa sofa is the ideal size. It’s comfortable and comes in a range of colours that can match any room. What’s more, it’s super practical for small flats with few bedrooms, because it transforms itself into a double bed! Do your dinner parties with friends go on late into the night? Now they can stay over.
The Compo is the sofa of choice in this 52 square metre apartment. Why? Because it’s versatile all-rounder and ideal for smaller spaces. Whether you arrange it centrally against one of the walls or tucked into the corner, you’re sure to fit in all the other furniture you want. A rug, coffee table, TV stand and even shelves.
When it comes to decorating the living room, it’s important to choose the essential furniture first and then add the rest as you go. In smaller living rooms, less is always more, and this rule is followed to the letter here. With the Blok sofa presiding over the room, all it needs is a maxi rug and a coffee table. And the beige colour used everywhere just radiates calm.
This small living room features the Obo sofa in light grey. With simple lines, vertical padding and a very soft texture, it’s positioned in the middle of the wall with a low table made from natural wood in the centre. Colour in this space comes courtesy of the flowers, glass vase and printed fabrics. A minimalist space with a vibrant modern touch.
Finally, we have a very practical sofa to show you, which takes up little space but also turns into a bed. Lyanna is ideal for small studios or one-bedroom apartments.
Once you’ve chosen your sofa, calculate the remaining space and choose the rest of the furniture items your living room needs. Generally speaking, your TV should go in front of the sofa with a space left in between for a coffee table. If you don’t want a TV, you could have two armchairs facing the sofa or leave the space free for a sideboard. Find lots more ideas for furnishing small spaces on our Blog.
When you purchase a new furniture item, mattress, kitchen, rug or curtain, you pay an eco-participation, which is used to fund the recycling of your old items.
What is eco-participation?
Eco-participation is an additional fee added to the price of new bedding and furniture, paid by the consumer and transferred to Ecomaison.
Why?
It is used to fund the sorting, recycling, and repurposing of old mattresses and furniture.
How does it work?
Ecomaison implements collection and recycling solutions in partnership with local authorities, social economy organizations (such as the Network of Recycling Centers and Emmaus), and furniture professionals.
Since 2013, through this initiative, Ecomaison has already handled over 10 million tons of used furniture and bedding, preventing the landfill of waste equivalent to 1,000 Eiffel Towers. Previously, 55% of discarded furniture ended up in landfills. Ten years later, it's less than 3%. With 800,000 tons per year, Ecomaison is now the leading supplier of recycled wood in France.
Who is Ecomaison?
Ecomaison is a state-approved eco-organization that manages the sorting, collection, reuse, and recycling of household items and materials, from the foundations to the finishing touches. Its mission is to collect and repurpose household items and materials, giving them a second life by donating, repairing, recycling, or using them as an energy source.
