What Flexible Furniture Can Do for Your Home
For a home that's stylish, functional, comfortable and easy to update, flexible furniture is a great choice

Our homes work best when they combine both function and style, and when they allow us to relax and unwind. Soft flexible furniture is a great way to do this, as it allows us to change layouts in rooms, bring in extra seating when it’s needed, and even fill unused nooks in the home. The experts at Ambient Lounge share their tips on how to use cushioned modular furniture to create a relaxed, functional and stylish interior.
1. A Change is Good for the Mood
You never know when you might want to swap the furniture in your room. Our homes are where we relax, so it’s a good idea to design your room to reflect your mood. Introduce flexible modular furniture that allows you to change the look and layout of your space whenever you like. In the summer for example, you might want to relax on seating that’s light and cool, and swap it for cosier textiles to warm up with in the winter. Our tastes change too, so it pays to have furniture that you can experiment with, and move from room to room.
Take it with you. If you’re renting your property, think about easy ways to take your home decor with you. Freestanding storage is a great investment, as is flexible furniture that is easy to move and will adapt to any size and layout of property.

2. Add the Social Factor
When guests come over it’s important to have comfortable seating to ensure everyone is relaxed. Dot some portable furniture around your home so that you can bring it into your living space when guests need it. Soft, cushioned seating is ideal for this as it’s flexible enough to fit in anywhere and easy to move around the home. As well as this practical benefit, it’s also super comfy so it creates the perfect environment for relaxed socialising.
Match your shades. For a seamless effect when moving furniture around your home, choose pieces in similar hues. By going for various neutral shades you’ll be able to mix and match while keeping the scheme harmonious.

3. Introduce a Relaxed Feel
Who doesn’t love chilling out on a bean bag? The trouble is their playful design doesn’t always work in a grown-up stylish interior scheme. Nowadays, however you can combine relaxation with style, by going for soft cushioned furniture that is beautifully designed, as well as comfy. A family room with soft, structured seats you can sink in to will appeal to both kids and grown ups, so this kind of furniture is perfect for creating a beautiful chill-out zone where you can completely relax at the end of a busy day.
Zone out in your home cinema. If you’re lucky enough to have a room dedicated to watching movies, flexible fabric seating is ideal. Cushioned pieces give you plenty of comfort, but provide enough structure to eat your popcorn without spilling it.

4. Maximise Your Space
Your choice of furniture and the way you lay it out can have a big impact on the feel of your home. In a small space, for example, your furniture needs to work hard, so multifunctional pieces are ideal. A footstool that can double-up as a table surface is both space-saving and functional.
Use furniture to zone-off key areas in an open-plan space, and go for flexible pieces that can be moved around to change the layout.
Fill a nook. Make the most of unused corners in your home by popping in a piece of flexible furniture. A space in the hallway can be turned into a comfortable spot for putting on outerwear by simply bringing in a soft modular seat, for example. Alternatively, turn a neglected area in the living area into a reading nook, with a soft chair and footstool.
