A day in the life of a cosy, colourful dining room
Follow this limited-size dining area as it smoothly shifts between roles over the course of a day. Accessibility and clever use of space are key factors, but also to be an integrated, vibrant part of this home’s living room.
Good morning, have a seat
A rug is about the best thing that can happen to cold feet in the morning. Why not let the soft embrace of KRYLBO chairs extend that feeling? Slimline design makes them flexible and easy to handle, yet there’s no shortage of comfort – or character, for that matter.
In the mood for breakfast, big and small
On busy mornings, it’s a good idea to keep the EKEDALEN extendable table short to simplify circling around it – there’s still room for an extra chair. Even better, bring out your favourite energisers and add colour with textiles and place mats, and you can create a feeling as big as a buffet.
All within reach, all day
With a dining area required to adapt swiftly between activities, the supporting actors make all the difference. From a HELMER drawer unit ready to roll up for desk duty to a sturdy shelving unit and a recycling bin to boot, this table is in good hands.
Act like you have the whole day to yourself
With most family members out of the home and less milling about the table – why not pull it out and give yourself more space? Add a DUBBLA laptop stand and you have even more flexibility, as it turns any surface into a height-adjustable desk. Talk about room for getting things done!
Put your clever little helpers to use
Being able to change desk height – simply done with that discreet handle on the side – can truly help you through your day, but it also comes with some tiny challenges. Like cord control. Luckily, they are kept in place by ingenious HAVSKÅL anchors, that both look cute and pull their weight.
The welcome afterglow of a productive day
The family is back together and the mood is lazy and content. If there ever was a perfect setting for a NÖDMAST lamp, this is it. Giving just the right light for relaxed activities at the table, or anywhere in your home. Since it’s cordless, chargeable and portable, you simply grab and glow.
Shared space, double warmth
Adjusting to busy schedules and the need for a gathering point, the table and chairs are central in more ways than one. Varied seats offer flexibility from the day’s first meal to the last, the table follows suit. The mix of colours? They simply add to the inviting atmosphere of the surrounding room.
