Project: A Flexible, Family Friendly Living Room

Hughes ACT

The Brief
This busy family of six needed a living room that could do it all - a space for relaxed movie nights, casual entertaining, and piano practice - all while feeling cohesive, inviting and practical.

The Solution
We created a warm, flexible layout anchored by custom-made neutral sofas in a light grey, hardwearing fabric - the perfect base for layering colour and texture.

Tonal and tactile elements add interest throughout: striking patterned armchairs with contrast piping, bespoke cushions and a pair of ottomans that do triple duty – as coffee tables, hidden storage and extra seating. A bamboo silk rug in teal and neutral hues pulls the whole palette together.

At the heart of the space, bold artwork brings energy and focus. And for movie nights? A discreet projector screen drops down when needed, then tucks away to let the art take centre stage again.

This is a living room designed to adapt - practical enough for everyday life, yet stylish and welcoming enough for guests.
