Three Lifestyles, Three Mood Boards, Endless Style

Whether you’re welcoming a lively big family, sharing your space with much-loved pets, or making the most of apartment living, your living room should feel tailored to you. It’s not just about choosing beautiful furniture, it’s about finding pieces that fit your lifestyle, support your everyday moments, and bring lasting comfort and style to your home.

If you share your home with a furry friend (or two), chances are your living room works pretty hard. It’s where the dog flops down after a big walk, the cat insists on taking the best seat in the house, and everyone comes together to relax at the end of the day. But as much as we love our pets, they can be tough on our spaces.

Think scratch marks on the arms of the sofa, hair collecting on every soft surface, the odd muddy pawprint (or worse) on the rug. Not to mention the challenge of keeping things smelling fresh when the dog’s favourite spot is your favourite spot too.

The good news? With a few smart choices, you can have a beautiful, pet-friendly living room without giving up on style.

Here’s what helps:

• Tougher fabrics, less stress. Look for upholstery that can handle a bit of rough and tumble, like hard-wearing weaves, leather-look finishes, or performance fabrics that wipe clean easily.
• Go low with your rugs. Flatweave or low-pile rugs won’t trap as much hair and dirt, and they’re easier to vacuum (which you’ll thank yourself for later).
• Choose a wipeable surface.s Coffee tables and storage pieces with sealed finishes mean spills and stains are no big deal.
• Give them their own spot. Adding a comfy pet bed or basket in the room helps keep them happy and gives your furniture a break.

When there are lots of people under one roof, the living room quickly becomes the heart of the home, a space for gathering, stretching out, sharing stories, and sometimes just finding a quiet corner to yourself.

But a big family living also comes with its own set of challenges. More people mean more wear and tear. Spills happen. Cushions get squashed. Toys find their way onto every surface. And somehow, there’s never quite enough seating.

The good news? With the right choices, it’s easy to create a space that feels warm, generous and ready for real life.

Here’s what helps:

• Plenty of seating. Think modular sofas, spacious sectionals or sofas with chaises that invite everyone to pile in together (without fighting over spots).
• Durable fabrics. Go for easy-care upholstery that can handle the everyday knocks and spills, with removable covers or performance fabrics where possible.
• Hardworking tables and storage. Coffee tables with rounded edges are the safest for little ones.
• Layered comfort  Mix in rugs, cushions and throws for softness and warmth — but choose textures and weaves that are robust enough for daily use.

When you live in an apartment, every centimetre counts. The living room often needs to be a little bit of everything: a place to relax, entertain, work, and sometimes even dine , all within a smaller footprint.

It’s a balancing act: you want it to feel open and inviting, but you also need clever solutions that make the most of your space. Storage can be tight, natural light is precious, and heavy furniture that works in a big home often feels overwhelming in an apartment setting.

The good news? With thoughtful choices, you can create a living room that feels spacious, stylish and effortlessly functional.

Here’s what helps:

• Slim, low-profile furniture. Choose pieces with clean lines and lighter silhouettes to keep the space feeling open and airy.
• Multi-functional pieces . Modular sofas, and nesting tables that can be moved around as needed all help you make the most of your layout.
• Lighter colours and textures.  Pale fabrics, natural materials, and soft neutrals reflect light and help small spaces feel bigger.
• Layered lighting. Instead of relying on one overhead light, mix in floor lamps, table lamps and wall lights to create warmth and depth.
• Vertical styling . Use taller bookcases, floor vases or wall art to draw the eye upward and make the room feel taller and more spacious.
