How to style a small living room.
Following on from my recent post on how to create a flexible Room for Living using John Lewis and Partners furniture, I thought I’d show you how they can be moved around flexibly to needs.
I’ve recently started doing workouts in my small living room, a small but positive step towards getting fit.
To create space for working out, I’ve moved my Design Project by John Lewis coffee table off the carpet. 
It was handy that the table was light and slim, so fitted perfectly between the rug and fireplace without looking obtrusive.
Talking about the rug, I adore my new Tora rug from John Lewis and partners.
It’s so soft and has made my workout (especially sit ups) less punishing.
It’s also a great spot for the family to sit whilst playing board games on the weekend.
If you recall from my last post, I had a console table where the sofa is now in this small living room.
It’s in my hallway at present, to make room for my Design Project by John Lewis shelf unit.
Now back to the shelves.
After work or on weekends , I usually like to unwind by leafing through my collection of hardback books on interiors, travel and food.
I have a huge collection of books ( which incidentally I also use as props for photo shoots). 
The Design Project by John Lewis shelf is so stylish and elegant. It was the perfect solution for storing and displaying my book collection.
Here’s a better view of the shelf.
My dining table and chairs are the only pieces that have stayed in their original spot.
How do you like this new configuration in my small living room?
It’s great that all these pieces of John Lewis and Partners furniture allow for such flexibility in the way we live.
The key to living flexibly in this small space is to buy quality furniture that can have multiple uses, is light enough to move around, and of course looks beautiful too.
Hope you’ve enjoyed the post. Wishing you a wonderful day. x
