Make room for being together -
Make room for life and apart. The living room tends to be the PH144433
place where everyone does almost everything.
Play. Nap. Work. Chat. Eat. Think. But some-
times we don’t want to do it all together, right?
Carving out zones in this well-loved room
makes space for everything – and everyone.
PH144317
Engage your senses and make room for zen.
Much of daily life is about being connected.
Your home can be a place to do the opposite.
Disconnecting in a space dedicated to engaging
your senses, can help you toss the stressors of the
world and simply be in the now. Smell the fresh
pinewood. Feel the soft cotton textiles. See the
green life of nature, inside. This way, you’ll have
the space to think, rest and disconnect, just by
being in the room.

Fluid life. Fluid space. Fluid furniture. Larger pieces
of furniture in a small space don’t only need to cater to
a single purpose. Tables on wheels can do wonders in a
studio. Socialize and share a meal, or roll them away to

in your passion – whatever that may be.
A small room with a grand idea. It can be
tricky to break the conventional living room set PH144668
up, even when it doesn’t suit one’s lifestyle or
space. But it’s not impossible. Erase the
conventions, and start thinking about your
needs. Pulling furniture away from the wall and

multi-functionality: workspace, bedroom, living
room and dining spot - all on an island in the
middle of the room.

VideoPlay for life
The IKEA Foundation has partnered with Handicap International
to support its use of play-based activities to rehabilitate disabled
and other vulnerable children. This story is about their work in
a refugee camp in Thailand. It’s about the children and their
families living in poverty, violence and difficult conditions, with
no means to relax, and no opportunity to play. Handicap
International is changing that by creating inclusive playgrounds
where the children can feel safe, share their experiences, relax,
smile and play - essential elements for their mental and physical
health.
