Go for comfort and intimacy
The seating area should be the one space in your home that stands for relaxation. There is nothing better than withdrawing into a comfortable, intimate cocoon for a while. So choose seating you find genuinely comfortable, like the black leather Longa armchair by Label in this seating area. That the owners of this house value comfort is clear from the LC4 Chaise Longue in another room.
Intimacy is in the details. An accessory with just the right presence, a lamp that gives exactly the right light, or a rug with the right weave and colour combinations all make a space feel more homely. The Goose Eye Icon by Kasthall, in 100% wool, proves the point here.
Keep the sightlines open
Do you have a beautiful view of the garden from your seating area? Then make sure your furniture does not block it. The Soft Dream sofa by Flexform has low arms, and the Pilot Chairs by Knoll swivel, so you stay connected to the garden.
The slim top and elegant legs of the round DePadova SEN coffee tables add to that sense of transparency. Their rounded shapes also soften the whole and hint at the nature outside.
Bring the garden indoors
Accessories do more than create intimacy; they add a cheerful wink. The Birds by Architectmade and the walnut dog by Kay Bojesen, new to the Master collection, playfully bring house and garden a little closer together again. The Thonet 1025 side table the dog stands on is walnut as well. And speaking of dogs: every member of the household enjoys these beautiful rugs, Pebbles the family dog included.
4. Think in natural colours
One more tip for connecting your seating area to the garden: play with the colours. The cognac-coloured leather of the soft Pilot Chairs sits beautifully alongside the autumn tones outside. And don’t the light brown throw and the cushion by Hvid make you think of falling leaves? The sheepskin, Pebbles’ favourite spot in the house, is by e15.
5. Carry the details through
It’s all in the details, so give them all the attention they deserve. The Soft Dream is wonderfully comfortable, and its elegant saddle leather base keeps the seating area light. That shows as you walk in from the kitchen, with a view of the slender leg that steps in slightly. And the shimmering silver thread of the Greta Shimmer rug by Kasthall works beautifully with the chrome details. It gives the space just that little bit extra.
