How to Design a Living Room That Works for Work, Play, and Relaxation

Modern living rooms do more than ever before. They’re a workspace by day, a lounge zone by night, and a social hub on weekends. If your living room is doing triple duty, here’s how to create a space that balances form and function—with furniture that supports your lifestyle.

1. Choose multifunctional furniture

Opt for pieces that adapt to your needs—whether that’s a sofa that reclines after work or an armchair that rotates to face the conversation.

Domicil pick:

Biba Recliner Sofa – Power-adjustable high back, dual recline, and USB charging make it ideal for working from home or winding down.

2. Break your space into purposeful zones

Use layout, lighting, and furniture placement to define zones: one for work, one for play, one for recharge. This prevents visual clutter and improves flow in open-plan spaces.

Try:

  • Duke Armchair with a floor lamp = instant reading nook
  • A console behind your sofa = workspace divider without walls

3. Incorporate tech-integrated comfort

Tech-friendly furniture blends seamlessly into modern routines. Look for features like hidden USB ports, adjustable recline mechanisms, or wireless charging pads.

Domicil pick:

Arnica Sofa – Technology meets comfort with integrated controls and a clean silhouette.

4. Let comfort define the space

Your living room should be your sanctuary. Plush seating, layered textures, and thoughtful ergonomics support your wellbeing across all uses.

Domicil pick:

Ardea Sofa – Structured yet soft, it’s the perfect place to collapse after a long day.

5. Add movement with reclining chairs

Motion furniture offers more than luxury—it helps your body reset throughout the day. Choose pieces that recline smoothly and support posture across multiple positions.

Domicil pick:

Violin Armchair from the Easy Living Collection – With 270° swivel, integrated footrest, and elegant curves, it blends comfort and movement beautifully.

Creating a multifunctional living room starts with intentional choices. With the right furniture—from tech-ready recliners to sculptural armchairs—your space can support everything from productivity to play, all without compromising comfort or style.
