Here’s a small cottage-style dining area that’s actually part of the kitchen. There’s not much space, but it’s very practical, with simple ideas like a trolley boosting the storage possibilities. It feels calm, casual, genuine – and more playful than perfect.

Easy access storage for everyone

A HAUGA cabinet provides storage, with many things that you use every day kept on the open shelves higher up. Kids’ things are stored lower down at an easy-to-reach height, with drawing materials tidied together in a LEN box. More LEN boxes inside a red-painted PERJOHAN stool with storage make homes for some soft toys.

Creating atmosphere with light and sound

It’s easy to create a cosy café atmosphere with these timeless SKURUP clamp spotlights and a VAPPEBY portable Bluetooth speaker. The light reflects atmospherically off the wall while the speaker plays evocative music. The lamps are very practical, as you can move them easily and their flexible head and arm means you can shine the light exactly where you need it.

Easier meals for everyone

Sometimes a set table can look as perfect as a still life. But not here. This one is unpretentious, playful and practical for the whole family. Colourful, easy-to-grip KALAS tableware sits next to the subdued tones and handmade feel of SANDSKÄDDA plates. A perfectly imperfect mix!
