Living / Sitting Room Design 3359
Customer's Request
I'm already a customer and I have already bought on your website some products including a sofa, a TV unit and a coffee table. Now I would like to complete the furniture of my living area with a shelving unit similar to Way 15, 4-5 metres wide (I would like to replace the TV unit part with bookcase shelves). I would also like to add a desk for my laptop (separated from the bookcase) and an armchair to place next to the sofa. We also have an Astra lamp and we want to find the right position for it. I trust you to find a solution which is able to integrate the new elements with the finishes of the ones I already own. All walls are white and the floor is in light wood. We prefer neutral colours like white, black and coffee.
The Interior Designer's Comment
Starting from the layout of Way 15, we adapted the configuration to the needs of the customer by replacing the compartment for the TV set with the bookcase elements. The rest of the layout remains the same and it includes additional columns with shelves, a sliding door and 3 display cases with smoked glass doors. The cases are equipped with an internal lighting system directly built-in the sides. The bookcase develops horizontally by offering an excellent storage space: the shelves are placed at different heights, this allows to give a pleasant aesthetic effect of movement and it also allows the customer to place both big and small items in it. As to finishes, we took into consideration the fact that in the environment we already have different types of wood; our suggestion is to avoid selecting an additional wood shade which might not fit with the rest but opt for lacquered colours. The structure, more in specific shelves and sides, are made in Arctic white matt lacquer, giving lightness to the whole layout and combining with the tone of the sofa seats. All the back panels are in Brown matt lacquer, a dark shade which contrasts the white one enhancing the shapes of the structure. It helps increase the perception of depth and at the same time it gives personality to the bookcase. The sliding door keeps the same colour of the back panels but in its high gloss version.
Next to the shelving unit we added a wall-mounted desk, minimalist and modern, perfect to be used as a support for a laptop. Its compact structure hides some convenient drawers which can be used for the stationary to have it always close at hand. The home office corner is completed with a small armchair featuring a wrap-around silhouette to guarantee a comfortable use of the desk. For the seating area we added next to the sofa an armchair with an elegant tufted upholstery cover. This model is characterised by a compact depth which well adapts to the space at disposal as well as a swivel base, perfect to adjust the position towards the TV or the sofa. Lastly, we recommend to place the floor lamp next to the armchair in order to turn this corner of the room into a pleasant reading area.
