A home where friends become as close as family
When you move into a shared space how do you feel like you belong? Or that it’s a place to call home? 
The latest Life at Home report reveals five emotional needs we have to make us feel at home in a space, including belonging – the need to feel part of a group and accepted for who we are. It’s the idea at the root of this apartment, made for three friends to share. There are communal spaces, designed to bring them together, and private pods for when they need time apart.

A place to belong
This may be a ‘for now’ home and budget may be limited but it’s still possible to create a space that flexes and adapts to the group’s needs and lets each of them make the space personal.

Think modular, mobile and easy to makeover
Moveable furniture on wheels and lightweight pieces like stools that can be stacked away or carried to where they’re needed are great in a home with many people, as is a big table. Lots of smaller tables you can push together to create a big table, or pull apart and use separately wherever they’re needed is better! And finish with easy-to-customise pieces like the super flexible IVAR wooden storage.

Put your walls and corners to work
The apartment’s communal spaces have to multitask. In the kitchen, a desk doubles as a study spot and breakfast bar. Covering the wall with pegboard makes every bit of space useful – cooking utensils, pots and a portable induction hob to make cooking for a crowd easier hang on the wall. Shelves to store stationery are mixed in, while clamp lights can be aimed to light up tasks at the desk.

Each housemate has their own bedroom – a private
‘pod’ designed to be a space where they can disconnect
and recharge in any way they need.

Minimal style, maximum smartness
Natural materials like wood and cotton give this bedroom a feel-good quality while textiles in muted shades bring harmony to the space. For added peace of mind, there’s furniture that adapts to the housemates’ needs – a high bed that unstacks to become two beds, that can each become sofas or can be pushed together to make one big bed. And an IVAR desk that folds up and away to create space.

Packed with storage
A place for everything makes this monochrome bedroom work. From the bed with deep, built-in drawers to the headboard with hidden shelves and desk with space inside to store books and study accessories, this room is filled with storage that makes it easy to put away and find all the different things the housemate wants to keep in her room.

A dream space
Bedrooms are where the housemates live their passions. For the last bedroom, the team show you can do maximalist style on a budget. A big bed takes centre-stage. Framed with low-hanging lamps and piled with pillows, the effect is dreamy.
