How Do You Make a Living Room Work for Multiple Activities

Modern life rarely lets the living room sit still. Within a single day it can host morning calls, after school homework, a quick yoga session, dinner on the sofa, an evening film and a late catch up with friends.

A closing FAQ answers common questions about desks, height, matching sets and finishes that handle daily variation comfortably....
