Our lifestyles have changed dramatically over the years and this is strongly reflected in the way we decorate our homes. Open-plan rooms, soft LED lighting, striking wall-art and stripped back home accessories are hugely popular. Whatever the size of your home or your budget, these three practical ideas will help turn an average room into a haven of modern interior.
Futon sofa bed
If you don’t have space for an extra bedroom but you love to have friends and family stay over, then a futon sofa bed is the perfect accessory for you. You’ll probably be surprised to know that a futon is a Japanese invention, and its name literally means ‘bed’.
A futon sofa bed differs from a day bed because it converts from a bed to a seat in an easy move due to a mechanism that is built into its frame. So, when the bed is not in use it can be used as a seat. This design makes the futon sofa bed a perfect addition to a bedroom or living area. If you’re looking for a futon sofa bed for your home, Futonsonline have a large selection of modern futons for you to choose from.
Corner sofa
Corner sofas are a perfect addition to any living room or entertaining space. You can choose from a roomy six to eight-seat sofa which is ideal for watching a movie with family and friends. Or, if you’re short on space, opt for a three to four-seat corner sofa, which will fit into the tightest of spaces.
Corner sofas come in a range of colours and fabrics so whatever your style, you’ll be sure to find something that matches your taste. For cool elegance, choose a corner sofa in striking leather. This durable fabric is incredibly easy to clean which is perfect for those who have children or pets. Or, for something softer, opt for a sofa in an on-trend fabric like velvet or wool, which is perfect for relaxing on with family after a long day.
Hidden storage
Over the years we accumulate a selection of things, like memorable, antiques or artefacts that we’ve acquired from different holidays, that we can’t bear to get rid of. If you want to keep these things safe but don’t necessarily want them on display for all to see, then hidden storage could be the solution you’re looking for.
From the practical to the funky, you’re sure to find something that works for your space. If you don’t have space in your bedroom for a cupboard, invest in a bed with ottoman storage with easy access to store your clothes and shoes. Or, if work from home but don’t want a desk cluttering up your dining room, choose a stylish draw unit that has space to house a computer, keyboard, mouse, printer and files.
These three simple and practical ideas are perfect for adding a modern touch to your existing décor. Or, they can be a show-stopping additional to any newly decorated space.
