“The living-dining area is definitely my favourite corner of the house. It has a couch running parallel with the length of the table, and lounge chairs at each end. This is ideal for people that entertain, but don’t have a huge living room. With a beverage cart and bluetooth speaker in arm’s reach, you can eat, laugh, and lounge the night away.”

“The rest of my flat has an industrial transitional style with an urban undertone. Exposed brick, industrial style wood beams, and the polished concrete floor create the style framework for my place. Within the framework you’ll find transitional furniture pieces with pops of deep colours and cosy furniture. As a family of four style is important, yet day to day comfort is essential. Hence the incorporation of cushioned leather sofas and lounge chairs in both the living in dining space.”
