When styling a living area the aim is to create a pleasing and inviting living space with personality and comfort, pleasing to the eye of the home buyer. Use a rug to define the living area, especially in an open-plan setting. Use "raised" furniture; i.e. furniture on legs. This allows natural light to flow freely and visually creates a feeling of spaciousness. Preferably use low back, low armrest sofas in neutral colours. Embellish with coffee table, side tables, lamps, decorative cushions, accessories and throws. Use a variety of textures and choose one "pop" colour which in this case was black. * Master the art of living area styling when selling (or decorating) your home with our Home Improvement Training online courses > https://homeimprovementtraining.com ** Dining room styling furniture and accessories are available for rent from our Sydney Furniture Hire warehouse > https://sydneyfurniturehire.com/ artwork, 2 seater beige sofa, armchair, coffee table, side table, decorative cushions, rug, artificial plant, accessories, coffee table books.

The Parker’s luxurious new build property, nestled in the beautiful Northamptonshire countryside, required a contemporary kitchen design. A key element of the design brief for the Smarthaus Team was to create an island and breakfast area where the family could gather and dine together face to face. The breakfast bar in industrial dark grey finish works beautifully with the subtleness of Silestone Yukon for the island and creates a lovely space for family time to dine!
