This is a project that has been highly appreciated on my Instagram profile, so here I describe it!
When I face the challenge of furnishing a small space with a low budget, I don’t turn back.
As long as the customer is aware that he will have to do some DIY to get a job well done and how it will be designed.
And if you are not already aware, I will take care of explaining it to you.
However, I would add that such a project is often the most complex challenge!

Just like for this project, whose premises and requests were:
living room and entrance furniture on a reduced budget
the floor could not be touched
DIY approved
create a small desk area in the living room
Desk area in living room
Desk area in the living room
Never as in these times, due to Codiv 19, do we know how useful and important it is to have a desk area in the house, where you can settle down with your laptop and avoid occupying the dining table.
The aim is to furnish with a low budget, but we must not lose sight of elegance.
The idea of placing a real desk in the living room did not excite me and I wanted the desk area to be as integrated as possible with the TV cabinet.
In this way the wall would be furnished in a complete way and with the elements well integrated together.
In particular:
from Ikea: the TV composition is made with Besta modules, together with the IVAR cabinet that compose the desk area. The IVAR cabinet will be suitably painted by the customer and modified with legs and knobs that can be purchased on PrettyPegs. The sofa is Vallentuna
from Maison du Monde: the table chairs are the Clyde in dark blue polyester fabric, combined with the leather-effect stool from the same collection
from Kave Home: table and Bahiti carpet, the latter in natural fibers and with a great price
The entrance
The house had a long narrow entrance (130cm wide).
The storage space is always needed, especially in small houses. For this reason, the entrance space could not be wasted.
I proposed to use a composition of Ikea IVAR modules, with reduced depth, which will be painted by the customer with the selected color code.
The color wall paneling, at the same height as the one inserted behind the table and sofa, creates a tone on tone with the suspended IVAR modules.
Both the wooden top of the IVAR entrance modules and the desk top in the living room will be taken by Leroy Merlin and should not be more than 2cm thick.
Even if you have a low budget for furniture, it is always advisable to rely on a professional who will be able to bring out the best in the environment he has to design!
