5 living room essentials for your home

Moving into an unfurnished house, or renovating your home can feel daunting. Standing in the doorway looking at an empty room trying to figure out you'll put in there, isn't easy. With so many options for furniture, accessories and decor to choose from, it’s not always so easy to know what you need to fill your space.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, we’re here to help. Read on to discover 5 living room essentials for your home.

Couch 

Perhaps the most important piece of furniture in any living room, a couch is not only the largest item in the room but also the most functional.

Think about how many people you want to fit on your couch and how much space you have in your living room. A large family might benefit from a sectional couch. A smaller, more solid piece may be a better choice for those living on their own or in a cosy apartment. 

And remember, the average lifespan of a couch is between five and ten years, so don’t get sucked in by the latest trends and fashion. What looks good now may not be so hot in a few years! So choose a couch that’s neutral in colour, like cream or beige. And avoid couches with ornate details or unusual shapes. Look for a comfortable, well-constructed couch in neutral fabrics. 

Coffee table

Your coffee table isn’t just a spot to put down your coffee cup - it’s a place to store your remotes, books and even your feet from time to time. 

Adelaide Outdoor Kitchens create custom-made coffee tables designed with your home in mind, so they fit perfectly in your lounge room. 

We’ve created a broad range of unique, modern and practical coffee tables for your home. Custom made coffee tables also use your space more economically, making your living area more functional and comfortable.  

We’ve also spent years researching and testing different materials and styles that are durable, timeless and elegant. We can create a classic furniture piece for you that you’ll love for years to come.
