We have recently had to change our lounge around quite substantially. My husband is setting up a new business, which means he is needing space to work. This has resulted in us having to make changes to our living room.
To start with, as you know we live in an old Victorian 2 up 2 down house, which has been extended out the back. The original rooms are not very big, so finding ways to create space and storage has always been a problem.
We recently got rid of our corner sofa, and now have a lovely new sofa. Which I soon made more homely with new cushions. I also purchased an ottoman in a contrasting colour to use as storage, plus a foot stool, extra seating and purchased a tray so can use also as a coffee table. We have also purchased another one, to go under the window for additional seating etc.
One wall has built in shelves that my husband put up years ago and work great. This leaves an alcove bit on one side of the chimney breast. It was just this empty space, which needed something, but we could not find anything that would sit properly in the space.

BGA Store
I was recently contacted by the BGA Store to see if I would like to work with them and review their products. I had a quick look through their site, and definitely found quite a few items, so said yes,
The BGA Store, knows that it is you who makes a house a home, with all the little finishing touches.
Parma Bedside Table

Looking through the site, we found the Parma Bedside Table, as we also need bedside tables. When the tables arrived, we realised that side by side they would fit perfectly into the alcove in our lounge.
We tried them and they looked great, they sit perfectly, have drawers which I have managed to take control of with my wax melts and tea lights. I have my own little space for my wax burner, photos of the kids and grandkids.
The tables, are very sturdy, and easy to put together (even I managed to do it). I had not thought of thinking out of the box and looking at storage solutions for other rooms in the house.
Would I use them again – Yes I would and have a few items on my radar already.
Have you ever thought of using furniture meant for one room in a different room?





I really think that desk is lovely – chic and clean lined.
I love that bedside table! It is nice to make some updates and change things up. I love the redo!
Little changes can make such a big dif to an overall look. I love too that the tables are sturdy. That is very important.
I love that bedside table, it certainly doesn’t look like a bedside table and would be great in any room in the house

This bedside table looks modern and stylish. I want to have one beside my bed.
It is a lovely table
Those bedside tables are really pretty and minimal with the open space by the legs. It goes to show that things don’t have to go in the rooms they’re specifically designed for x
I know they are lovely tables and fit perfectly where we have placed them
It sounds like you have been busy. It’s good to hear that the tables were easy to put together. I bet they look great in your bedroom.
We have, but have put them in our lounge
These are some great additions to a lovely space. I like to add and remove the item when the seasons change.
It has been a great addition, we love to move thing around as well
It’s so exciting to make changes to the space and give it a little makeover. How cool that the BGA store! Perfect timing too…love the table you chose…its cozy yet modern.

That bedside table is really beautiful! I love it! Looks like it would fit in great anywhere.
It fits perfectly in our lounge and gives me my little bit of space for my girly touches
This doesn’t look at all like a bedside table. It looks very modern and great as a storage feature in that alcove in the living room. I like how you have used the space underneath it as well.
It fits perfectly and as you say does not have to be just for the bedroom
