Your living room is the hub of your home. The place where you unwind, entertain or, if you have kids, somewhere you spend too many hours of your life watching Disney films while making sure no one swallows a remote control.

These are the things that make it worth living in.

Loaf Chatnap Modular Corner Sofa Bed

Because without a sofa, a living room’s not up to much is it?

This one is built in Nottinghamshire, features ample storage under the seats and also morphs into a sofa bed when your mates are in town. Or you know, for next-level Netflix and chill.

Available at Loaf, priced £2,685.

French Connection Linen Ombre Square Cushions

Like working nine-to-five, or spending a day’s wage on an haute cuisine tasting menu, sitting on a cushion-less sofa is an empty and unfulfilling experience.

Invest in cushions to transform your sofa into the supremely stylish, can’t-get-up-again-comfortable centrepiece it should be. These ones, from the homeware arm of British fashion stalwart French Connection, are hand dip-dyed, making each one of a kind.

Available at French Connection, priced £38 each.

Content By Terence Conran Balance Coffee Table

Think a coffee table’s just somewhere to land your brew? Think again.

Choose the right one – like this striking contemporary design from The Conran Shop – and your coffee table’s so much more: somewhere to stash mags, a focal point and, sure, a surface to rest your bevvies on. Well, sort of. See below…

Available at The Conran Shop, priced £520.

John Lewis Croft Collection Arundel Marble Coasters

Your mum was right, wasn’t she? Coasters are important. At least when the table they’re protecting is yours, paid for by you and not something you relished defacing regularly for the best part of 10 years of your life.

Make your mother proud by investing in these solid marble coasters. Unlike cork ones, they won’t disintegrate, and unlike fabric coasters, they won’t look crap once you’ve spilt something on them (which you absolutely will).
