Designing the Apt - Living Room

We have a large living room area for an apartment and we have decided to design it for what my husband and I want. My husband wants his entertainment area - projector and sound system. I want a wall-to -wall library.

At first, I allocated some space for a Chinese antique daybed but my husband wants a piano for our future children. Who knows what plans may change in the next few months...

Putting in the Furnitures

After installing the wallpaper and lighting, next thing we did was to furnish our apartment with furnitures. For 6 months, we were without much furnitures other than our beds and wardrobe, it was cozy but everything seemed so messy and cluttered.

I had done my homework of pre-selecting the pieces from Casamia , a furniture concept store quite similar to US Crate & Barrel, in Bundang area and cutting the furniture pictures from their catalog.

From the hand-drawn grid page paper, it was so much easier to place all the furniture measurements, making sure they fit our rooms.
I had to convince my husband that the L-shape sofa will fit the room by showing him this draft too. He was a little dubious of the sofa until it arrived and placed in the living room.

And so the L-shape sofa fits. We even got it sit comfortably in between the AC and bookshelf. I even get to have my workspace in the living room. My husband did a great job organizing my mess and actually, he's the one who organized most of the spaces.
