Our BTO has no “proper” sofa 🛋️

Hey folks 👋 today we’re talking about the elephant in the room (besides the fact we have No TV ) we have no proper sofa! This has been a lifesaver for us for hosting over Christmas and New Years. Unlike most living rooms, we made our space very communal and fluid, this was decided after we stayed in our rental apartment with our friends, and we didn’t want to commit to any bulky furniture since we’d be moving out in a couple of months.

We ended up using our loose chairs to furnish our living area and it was great for gatherings or just watching shows on our projector. This concept carried forward to our new home so shoutout to our friends for the inspiration 😉

For extra seats that are less low, we utilised our pallets to form a daybed/sofa. We stacked 4 pallets together and placed a custom sized mat and cushion we got off Taobao to make it complete!

Reasons why we prefer this over a typical sofa:

1️⃣ We like the flexibility, and can change it up whenever we want to for a fresh layout!

2️⃣ Accommodates to small and large groups easily, we can sit up to 10 butts on all our living room chairs!

3️⃣ Makes the space very cozy and casual as the chairs are very low to the ground

✨ Bonus: Keeps us mobile, so if we can’t get up from the floor chairs we know we gotta get more active lol 🥹

If you’re like us and our reasons resonate with you, this might be a sign to consider a more casual living space for your home. Just because it’s out of the norm, doesn’t mean it doesn’t work 😉
