As if embarking on a kitchen makeover in the new year wasn’t enough, I was standing in my living room the other day and made up my mind that I definitely want to completely change my living room at the same time. How on earth can I have a lovely ‘new’ kitchen and not apply the same love and attention to the space we spend most of our time in? Well, that was the argument I used when persuading Jules – he thinks it is a complete waste of money, obvs! The fact is that I have never bought anything for our living room, except for the sideboard and rug, as it all came from my previous flat and the sofa and huge armchair have always been too big for this space. There is just too much going on and it has begun to feel cramped and completely mis-matched to the rest of our flat since re-doing our home office, hallway and bedroom. The rest of flat is all white and pastels and I have gone off all of the colours in this room and the mix of patterns. It all has to go!
The only things that I plan to keep in this room are the dining table and Ercol chairs. Everything else has to go as it feels too cramped, heavy and mis-matched in this room. The kitchen is just round the corner to the left so I would like the two spaces to both be light, bright and a bit more sophisticated. Photo by Katharine Peachey
I would love a new coffee table instead of my mum’s old school trunk as this feels too heavy and large for this space. Photo by Katharine Peachey
A new sofa and chairs are on order (I’m so flipping excited I might internally combust!), a new rug has already arrived (I do LOVE my kilim rug but Otto has begun to destroy it so it needs to be saved before it is completely ruined), my sideboard has been sold and I am lusting after a new coffee table. I want to go for more of a Scandi vibe with a bit of mid-century flavour in my living room so it feels less cluttered, calmer and more in keeping with the rest of the flat. I have got a firm eye on one of these tables and guess what?! The lovely folks over at Houseology would like to celebrate Christmas by giving away a coffee table to one of my readers. It can be any coffee table of your choice up to the value of £500. Wowzers!

Just had a look at the Houseology website – some delicious coffee tables! Particulary love the Ercol. What sofa and chairs have you got on order, Katy? Have you gone for your long-desired Ercol?

Well, I might have to keep it as a surprise but alas, the combination of Jules and Otto made the Ercol daybed an impractical choice. One day, one sweet day, there will be a daybed in a studio of sorts – can you imagine?! Too good x
The ercol one without a doubt.
My Christmas list includes ‘a slightly bigger living room to fit an ercol chair, if the living room can’t be achieved an ercol child’s stacking chair’ (please note I don’t have children…)
That said the ludo table and the recycled boat wood are very cool… I probably do need a bigger house.
