14 photos

Organising a living room is less about hiding things than deciding which ones deserve to be seen, then giving them a proper shelf. Storage comes in light wood, white or black iron, and it holds books and potted plants in plain view. A hexagonal wall shelf carrying a vintage film camera makes the point that display counts as tidying too.
