White Accents

A square mirror against the back wall reflects the natural light, making this cozy living room seem larger and brighter. White throw pillows on the sofa complement the coffee table and tie the space together.

Hidden Workspace

Behind the sofa, a black desk paired with a chair becomes a makeshift office. The floor lamp overhead can be shifted between the two spaces for an easy transition between work and play.

Platform Bed With Identical Nightstands
