Buying and moving into a new home is both an exciting and stressful time. It requires plenty of organisation, planning and preparation to allow for your move to be as smooth as possible. And, of course, one of the most important parts of moving is shopping for all the essential pieces of furniture and decor.

Bedrooms can be one of the more challenging rooms in the house to decorate. You don’t want to sacrifice the function of the room for non-functioning design but at the same time, you want it to be a safe haven to relax and unwind after a busy day. Thankfully, the vintage style offers both comfort and decorative aspects that work in tandem to give you a calming, functional sanctuary.

In general, vintage style means decorating with furnishings, fabrics, and colours that were popular a few decades back. The term vintage is defined as something that is more than 20 years old but less than 100 years old but can also incorporate details from the shabby chic style. The mix-and-match aesthetic of vintage design makes it easy to achieve a high-end look with DIY and secondhand pieces without the high-end price tag so is an excellent choice for those on a budget.

More and more of us are working from home. And it’s a trend that looks set to continue.

For many of us it may not be that all of our time will be spent WFH, but we’ll certainly be home often enough to need a dedicated office space.

That uncomfortable spot hunched over the laptop on the sofa just won’t cut it any longer. There has to be a better way.

In an ideal world, of course, we’d convert a spare room into a spacious, private working space, complete with its own stylish office sofa. But, for most of us, we’ll have to settle for carving out a space in the living room as our best bet.

The living room is usually the largest room in the house – but it’s also very much a shared room and the last thing you want to do is ruin the look, feel and flow of it by just wedging a desk wherever it will fit.

So, how can you combine the need to maintain the comfort of your living room with your need for a professional area that you can get down to work at?

Here are 10 simple but stylish ways to create an office in your living room when square footage is at a premium.
