If you have the space , consider a dining table that you can extend when guests come over or if your tasks need the extra surface area . Meanwhile , in a compact kitchendiner , you can utilise your kitchen breakfast bar as a makeshift work from home space and a place for meals .
There are also some double duty designs that might appeal to the Netflix generation . For a luxurious lie-in while bingeing your favourite shows , choose a TV bed - as the television is concealed when not in use , it also helps keep your bedroom looking neat and tidy . In the living room , you could opt for a sofa bed for lounging while watching TV , instead of sitting on a sofa .
INTERIORS & INTERIOR DESIGN
8 . GREEN AS A NEUTRAL
Green ’ s association with peace , nature and relaxation serves as a refreshing replacement for muted neutral shades at home . For example , a light green shade such as sage on the walls will help set the mood for resting whether it ’ s in the bedroom or living room . On the other hand , opting for a deep forest green shade invites the outdoors in and anchors the room with its vibrancy .
If you ’ re going for a green sofa in your living room , it ’ s best to decide what shade of green you ’ re going for and what upholstery works best . Dark shades of green work well with leather or velvet while softer greens are a better match with lighter fabrics . You can also introduce green through smaller pieces in the home such as a sideboard or footstool . Green also provides a solid base for accessorising - aside from natural textures such as wood or clay , it is a grounding contrast for luxe finishes such as gold or brass .

" As our interiors continue to be multitasking spaces , we can expect to see multifunctional furniture as a rising trend in 2023 ."
After the chaos and confusion of uncertain times , escapist decor is all about creating spaces in our homes to retreat , heal and be experimental with our interiors . Creating a staycation element in your home is one popular way to make it feel like an escape from your daily life . Start by dedicating a corner in your home for relaxation and wellbeing . Choose a calming wall colour to set the mood and add a personal touch by showcasing items from your travels for that holiday feeling . You can even create this space outdoors with a patio area in the garden decorated with natural materials such as rattan and lots of greenery .
Instead of clean lines , choose bold curves such as a sculptural coffee table or pedestal inspired by the round shapes we often find in nature . Aside from that , texture is another key escapist decor element . Jazz up your space with textured wallpaper or matt stone flooring finishes to add an imaginative touch to the home .
