ROOM IN A BOX - Sustainable Furniture
Our products are unusual and sometimes raise a question or two.
In order to provide you with all the information you need, we have answered the most frequently asked questions here. In addition, you will find a FAQ section on every product page with questions and answers about the respective product. If your question remains unanswered, please call us or send us an e-mail. You will find our contact details at the bottom of this page.
What happens if I spill water and the cardboard furniture gets wet?
No need to panic! Simply wipe up the liquid on the cardboard with a dry cloth without detergent and let the rest air dry. As long as only a small area has become wet (example: 1 spilled glass of water), you do not need to worry about the stability of the cardboard furniture. However, your furniture should never be permanently exposed to moisture, as this can cause it to lose stability. Please check the stability of the furniture after each contact with liquid.
Can I look at the product on site, buy them or pick them up?
Unfortunately, it is not possible to shop, view furniture or pick up orders on site at our Berlin office.
Is cardboard furniture sensitive to fire?
Our furniture does not have a fire protection classification.
Help, I have misplaced the assembly instructions. What now?
That's no problem. Here you can download all the instructions in PDF format.
What are the ingredients of cardboard furniture?
Our cardboard furniture is made exclusively from certified corrugated cardboard. This is made from at least 70% recycled material and is 100% recyclable. The remaining 30% are fresh paper fibres from sustainable forestry. Corrugated board is a natural product made from cellulose and corn or wheat-based adhesives. The inks used are solvent-free and neither toxic nor harmful to health. Thus, our cardboard furniture is an all-round ecological, harmless product.
There are small tears in the top material on the inside of my cardboard furniture, is my cardboard furniture damaged?
This so-called "angel hair" in the top web of the corrugated board can occur during production when the die-cutting tool cuts out the corrugated board. This is not a material defect and is not a reason for complaint. Normally the angel hair is on the inside and should not be visible on the outside. Unfortunately, due to the thickness of the material we use, we cannot avoid this 100%. The only alternative would be to use a weaker quality of material, which in turn would have a negative effect on the stability. In any case, you don't need to worry about the quality and stability of the cardboard furniture - this is not affected in any way.
Is there a possibility to get a colour sample?
Unfortunately, this is not possible. If you don't like the color you ordered, you can return your order to us within the cancellation period and we will refund the purchase price.
Can I also paint the cardboard furniture?
If your cardboard furniture is too pale for you, you can give it a coat of paint to your taste. You can use acrylic paint, for example, which you apply thinly and evenly with a foam roller. Of course, we cannot guarantee the perfect end result. So it's best to test the paint on an inconspicuous area beforehand.
How can I dispose of my cardboard furniture?
If at some point your cardboard furniture has had its day and is no longer suitable for passing on, it can simply be disposed of in the waste paper bin. The material then flows back into the raw material cycle and can be processed into new corrugated cardboard.
Shouldn't cardboard furniture be cheaper?
Our furniture is not comparable with moving boxes or shipping packaging. This standard packaging is produced from low-quality cardboard in millions of copies and is correspondingly cheap. RIAB cardboard furniture, on the other hand, is made in Germany in significantly smaller quantities from the best available corrugated cardboard qualities and assembled by hand.
The result is high-quality furniture that you will enjoy for a long time.
How can I clean my cardboard furniture?
Only use dry or damp, soft cotton cloths to clean your cardboard furniture. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents.
How durable is cardboard furniture?
Each of our pieces of furniture is designed as a fully-fledged alternative to a conventional piece of furniture and is manufactured to a correspondingly high quality. With good treatment, you can expect a durability of about 10 years.
What is the tree donation all about?
Since January 2020, we have been working with our partner Eden Reforestation Projects to plant a tree for every product sold in one of the organisation's global projects. You can find all the information here.
Why is cardboard furniture more sustainable than conventional furniture?
Due to its high recycled content (70 %), corrugated cardboard furniture uses very few resources.
The fresh paper fibres that provide the necessary stability of the furniture come exclusively from sustainable forestry. The furniture can be fully recycled at the end of its life cycle. Simply throw it in the waste paper bin so that the material flows back into the recycling loop. In addition to the low consumption of resources, cardboard furniture releases many times less CO2 and is more climate-friendly than conventional furniture. For example: the Bed 2.0 has a significantly lower environmental impact than a conventional bed. The CO2 footprint - and thus the contribution to global warming - is 280 times lower, it uses 8,000 times less energy and transport is also 4 times more climate-friendly thanks to its light weight.
What bed size do I need for my mattress?
On page 5 of our assembly instructions you will find a size chart that shows you which bed size you need for your mattress and whether an additional extension set is necessary.
How do I set up the bed?
Depending on the size of your bed, you only have to pull it up or convert it with a few simple steps.
The assembly or conversion is described in our assembly instructions and does not require any tools.
How do I change the size of the bed?
Yes, the size of your cardboard bed can be flexibly adapted to your needs. You can find the instructions for assembly and conversion in the assembly instructions or in this video.
Can I extend the bed?
You can adjust the size of your bed to your needs at any time. It can be easily connected to another bed 2.0 or enlarged with the help of the extension set. In our assembly instructions we explain how to achieve your desired bed size.
Can I also divide my double bed into two single beds?
Our double bed (size Large) consists of two connected single beds (size Small), which you can separate again at any time by removing the connectors.
Which additional parts do I need to enlarge my bed?
In our assembly instructions you will find an overview of the different bed sizes and the number of components used in each case on page 5.
How to remove or add components (rhombuses) is explained on page 6.
Size S to size M
Starting from the delivery state size S, you need a total of 6 additional rhombs to reach the delivery state size M. You therefore need three extension sets.
Size M to size L
Two S-beds are needed, which are connected to form a large L-bed. Please buy an additional S-bed and convert your old M-bed back to the size of an S-bed. Unfortunately, the conversion is not possible with the help of one or more extension sets. To convert the M-bed back to an S-bed (in each case as delivered), 6 rhombs must be removed from the M-bed.
After connecting the beds, the frame protrudes under the mattress. How can I fix this?
You have probably connected the beds together incorrectly. It is best to look again at page 11 of the assembly instructions again. It describes how the beds must be positioned in order to connect them correctly.
The sides with the closed rhombuses form the head and foot sections of the bed frame.
Do I need a slatted frame for the bed?
No, you don't need a separate slatted frame. Simply place the mattress on the bed. The rhombus construction and the high permeability of the corrugated board ensure sufficient air circulation. By the way: the German consumer protection organisation Stiftung Warentest (link) explicitly advises its readers to use a rigid grate as a base. That's exactly what our cardboard bed does.
Which mattress fits my bed?
An excellent complement to our sustainable cardboard bed is our sustainable natural latex mattress. Generally, all mattress types except futons are compatible with our bed. However, make sure that the mattress is at least 15 cm high and medium-firm to firm.
Can I use two single mattresses on a double bed?
Yes, this is possible. In this case, we recommend the use of a rubberised mattress protector, which is placed between the bed and the mattresses so that the mattresses cannot slip apart.
It is also helpful to use a fitted sheet that covers both mattresses.
How high is the bed?
The bed is 33 cm high.
How resilient is the bed?
Our bed can support up to 1,000 kg/m² of lying surface and can be opened and closed hundreds of times.
Can I have sex on the bed without it collapsing?
In our bed, you can do everything you do in any other bed, ordinary or extraordinary. Even sex. We have tested this especially for you in a long-term study. Our bed has been tested by the German TÜV according to DIN EN 1725 and therefore meets all the requirements that a bed must fulfil in Germany.
The bed slides on the floor. What can I do?
If you have a very smooth floor in your bedroom, such as parquet or laminate, it can happen that the bed slides a little. If this bothers you, a classic anti-slip underlay for carpets can help. These are available very inexpensively online or at your local DIY store.
How is sufficient air circulation ensured in the bed?
The material corrugated board is generally very breathable.
Due to the rhombus construction and the slits on the sides, the air is additionally pumped outwards when moving on the bed. To ensure this, there should be a gap about the width of a hand between the walls and the long sides of your bed. This prevents the possible formation of mould.
How do I stow the bed when I don't need it?
The bed folds flat so you can store it to save space. When you lay it on its side, you can put the mattress on top of it against the wall.
How do I assemble the shelf?
The shelf modules can be assembled and connected with a few simple steps and without tools. The instructions for this are enclosed with your shelf. You can also download them here.
How high can I stack the shelf?
The maximum permissible stacking height is six modules.
Can I also convert the shelf again?
You can flexibly adapt the shelf to your needs and reassemble it again and again. The individual modules are joined together horizontally and vertically with connectors that can be easily detached and reinserted.
Can I hang the shelf freely on the wall?
Unfortunately, this is not possible. The shelf must always stand on the floor.
Do I have to fix the shelf to the wall?
Yes, each shelf module comes with a wall fastening with which the shelf can be fixed to the wall. From a height of 3 modules, the top module must be connected to the wall. You can find more detailed information on this in the shelf instructions.
Can the individual shelf modules be connected to each other?
Yes, the shelf modules can be securely joined together to form one large shelf using the connecting elements supplied. Slipping is thus prevented.
Can I drill small holes in the back wall for cable routing?
Yes, you can drill a hole in the rear wall for cable routing. Please note, however, that any modification of a shelf module or accessory component will invalidate the legal warranty and we can no longer guarantee the load-bearing capacity. The shelf must always be checked for stability afterwards.
Is the shelf module also available in other colours?
The shelf module is only available in the colour natural. The inserts are available in the colours natural, white, black and sage.
Do all inserts fit in every shelf?
In general, all shelf inserts can be placed completely flexibly on the shelf.
How do I install the shelf inserts?
All shelf inserts can be assembled and inserted into your shelf in a few simple steps. The instructions are enclosed with your shelf. You can also download them here.
Can I also move the inserts with in the shelf?
The inserts can be easily removed from the shelf module. This way you can change their position flexibly.
How resilient is the shelf?
Each shelf module has a maximum load capacity of 10 kg. If several modules are stacked on top of each other, the modules from the fourth row onwards may only be loaded with 7.5 kg. The load capacity of the shelf surface is max.
2.5 kg per module.
Can I also use the shelf for files?
Yes, standardised folders fit into the shelf modules without any problems.
Can the shelf be used as a bench?
The shelf must not be used as a seat. The top of the shelf may be loaded with max. 2.5 kg each.
What materials is the natural latex mattress made of?
For the mattress, we have used almost exclusively natural materials from sustainable production. The core is cast from pure natural latex and supported on the underside by a mat of coconut fibre. Both are wrapped in a soft cover made of organic cotton. Only one side of the cover, which is on the underside of the mattress, is based on a synthetic material: recycled PET. We would have liked to use a natural material here, but so far none can meet the requirements of being both air-permeable and abrasion-resistant.
What makes the RIAB natural latex mattress so special?
Our natural latex mattress stands out in three ways: its sustainability, its promotion of truly healthy sleep and its price.
The materials we use are all sustainably sourced and 100% natural (with the exception of the recycled PET on the underside of the cover). Our natural latex core contains no petroleum and does not emit any harmful gases. The point-elastic core adapts optimally to your body in every lying position and prevents back pain and tension. And so that as many people as possible can enjoy the natural latex mattress, we offer it at a particularly favourable price.
Where is the natural latex mattress made?
The mattress is produced in Europe.
Which degree of hardness does the natural latex mattress correspond to?
The mattress can be described as medium firm. We have not defined a degree of firmness, as this is usually not very meaningful.
For which bed types is the natural latex mattress suitable?
The mattress is suitable for all bed types and can be used on almost any slatted frame and of course our Bed 2.0.
Who is the natural latex mattress suitable for?
Our natural latex mattress is suitable for people weighing up to 100 kg (from a width of 140 cm it is designed for 2 people weighing 100 kg each).
The point-elastic core supports your body optimally, regardless of the position in which you sleep. The natural materials also make the mattress the ideal sleeping surface for allergy sufferers.
Is the mattress also suitable for people with back pain?
Absolutely! The natural latex mattress supports your body optimally and prevents back pain and tension. You can use the mattress even if you already have back pain. Of course, you can test the mattress yourself for 30 days without any risk. If you don't like it, simply send it back to us free of charge*. Please note that you may experience some tension during the first few days as your body first has to get used to the new mattress. So give yourself and your new mattress some time to get used to it.
*Free return shipping only applies within Germany.
Can I have a trial sleep on the mattress?
Since it always takes some time for the body to get used to a new mattress, you can test our natural latex mattress for 30 nights to see if it suits you.
If it doesn't, simply send it back to us (free of charge within Germany).
What do I do if I don't like the natural latex mattress?
You can take 30 nights to test the mattress thoroughly. If you are not satisfied, we will pick it up again (free of charge within Germany) and refund the purchase price.
Why is the natural latex mattress only available up to a width of 140 cm?
Natural latex is a rather heavy material, which brings our 140 cm mattress to a proud weight of 38 kg. As we want to make shipping as easy, fast and cheap as possible instead of using a forwarding agency, mattress widths over 140cm are unfortunately not possible at the moment due to their high weight. However, you can order a double cover to connect the mattresses together. A gap between the individual mattresses is then no longer noticeable.
Is the mattress cover removable and washable?
Yes, thanks to the zip you can easily remove the cover and wash it at 40 °C in the washing machine.
Can I use the mattress without a sheet?
You can also sleep without a sheet on the soft cotton cover. It can be easily removed thanks to the zip and machine washed at 40 °C. A separate changeable cover is available here.
Can I use the mattress straight after unpacking?
Yes! The natural latex mattress needs no time to unfold. It is ready for use straight away.
How do I put the mattress on my bed correctly?
You can recognise the underside of your mattress on the one hand by the white cover made of recycled PET and on the other hand by the coconut mat that is hidden directly under the cover. Both serve to protect your mattress. There is no defined head or foot end.
How long does it take to get used to my new natural latex mattress?
Especially if you have not slept on a latex mattress before, your body will need a few nights to get used to the new mattress. Even tension is not uncommon during the acclimatisation phase.
So that you can convince yourself of the mattress at your leisure, we give you the opportunity to try it out for 30 nights. If it doesn't fit, we'll pick it up again and refund your money.
How can I care for my natural latex mattress?
Basically, you should make sure that your mattress is well aired during the day and that moisture can escape. To do this, it is sufficient to remove the duvet. The mattress core airs out even better if you open the cover and fold it over. This should be done about once a month for at least 6 hours. The mattress cover can be completely removed and washed at 40°C in the washing machine. To evenly load the mattress and prolong its life, we recommend that you turn it 180° every 6 months - i.e. the head end becomes the foot end.You can recognise the mattress by the white cover made of recycled PET and the coconut mat that is hidden directly under the cover. Both serve to protect your mattress. There is no defined head or foot end.

Box room ideas: How to style the smallest room in your home |
(Image credit: Hannah Wilson / Arndt Design & Build )
Looking for box room ideas? Our pick of the best box room design ideas will ensure that your tiny space is used to maximum efficiency.
Even the most humble of small rooms has the ability to serve as a comfortable bedroom, office or dressing area, and clever use of furniture can turn it into a multi-functional space too, incorporating useful study and storage areas.
Careful planning and a dash of inspiration are all that’s needed to maximize a small room’s potential – as the small bedroom ideas for box rooms below show.
CLEVER BOX ROOM IDEAS
1. Take an expert view on color in a box room
(Image credit: Future / Matthew Williams)
‘Don’t shy away from dark colors,’ says interior designer Suzy Hoodless . ‘You’ll be using the room primarily at night, so it’s the perfect showcase for bold shades.
Think cozy rather than gloomy when looking at bedroom ideas : dark blues, mid-tone greys and warm greens are all good choices for a box room.’
2. Opt for fitted furniture in a box room
(Image credit: Future / Mel Yates)
While freestanding furniture has its uses for both storage and display, there is nothing more efficient than well-designed, fitted furniture.
It allows you to squeeze every inch of use out of even the most unpromising corner, and in a streamlined way. The key is to wake up to your home’s hidden potential.
3. Include practical furniture
(Image credit: Future / Emma Lee)
'No matter how small your box room is, a chair is always practical,' says Nicola Holden of Nicola Holden Designs . 'If it causes too much clutter, consider plumping for something unobtrusive – such an armless stool.
'Choose hard-working furniture such as ottomans and chests of drawers, and don’t neglect forgotten areas such as those above a door, where built-in shelving can look effective.
’
4. Make do with multifunctional storage
(Image credit: Future / Paul Raeside)
Start planning your box room by considering small bedroom storage ideas ,' says Bunny Pocock of Turner Pocock . 'Go beyond joinery – a chest of drawers can act as a bedside table; a divan can hold hidden storage and an end-of-bed blanket box can double up as a laundry bin.'
5. Turn your box room into an office
(Image credit: Future)
It's time to stop working from your kitchen table – or bed – and make the space for a dedicated home office. The box room, no matter how small, is the ideal setting – all you require is a discreet desk and an office chair.
Give home office ideas an element of creativity and fun with a statement wallpaper. It will make the perfect backdrop for all those Zoom calls.
6. Invest is the best lighting you can afford
(Image credit: Future / Davide Lovatti)
If your lighting budget allows, add small reading lights to you headboard.
This lighting idea for the bedroom is great for nighttime reading as it provides discreet, non-intrusive lighting and negates the need for a space-stealing bedside table.
7. Use a box room as a walk-in closet
(Image credit: Future / Richard Powers)
If your box room is looking a little unloved, turn it into a fabulous walk-in closet. Once the domain of the rich and famous, walk-in wardrobes and dressing rooms rank high on everyone’s wish list, and making space for one in your own home is easier than you think.
When considering walk-in closet ideas , think about your clothing and storage needs and plan around them. Factor in dual-level hanging areas, racks or boxes for shoes, deep shelves for knitwear and casual clothing, and drawers to keep pyjamas, lingerie and socks out of sight.
8. Transform a tiny box room in a stylish powder room
(Image credit: Future / Davide Lovatti)
Make the most of unused space by installing a powder room or cloakroom – it will punch above its weight in terms of household usefulness.
Well designed powder room ideas will make this space a great addition to your home. A properly finished powder room not only adds value, it could also be really handy when you're entertaining.
9. Fashion a utility room
(Image credit: Jonathan Bond / Future)
A box room doesn't have to be a bedroom. It can be what ever you need it to be, and so much more.
Having a separate utility opens up so many possibilities and there are many different utility room ideas to choose from. It can function as a dedicated laundry area complete with washer, dryer and shelving for freshly ironed linen; it could be a messy boot room where children can fling their football gear after a wet Saturday morning; or it could even be turned into a hobby room, where you have the peace and quiet you need to learn a new craft.
10. Play with pattern and color in a small space
(Image credit: Future / Matthew Williams)
While it may seem counter-intuitive, color and pattern can work well on walls in smaller spaces, so consider bold wallpaper ideas .
A wallpaper with a large-scale pattern tends to draw the eye in and had the effect of visually elongating a compact room.
‘Similarly, using an intense jewel paint color on the walls in a small room gives it a sense of drama, whereas neutrals can make a box room feel uninspiring,’ says founder and creative director of Designers Guild , Tricia Guild.
‘Bolder palettes tend to be especially suited when considering how to decorate a guest bedroom – the color comes as a pleasant surprise when the door is opened and helps to give the scheme a more intimate feel.’
11. Create a child's bedroom or play area
(Image credit: Future / Carolyn Barber)
Putting together a cohesive yet stylish children’s room is no easy feat, especially in a box room. The key is to introduce accessible storage, colorful accents, and one or two striking elements to the small bedroom layout that can be changed easily.
‘If space is tight, a bed with drawers is a good idea,’ says Blanca Sanchez at Halo Design Interiors .
‘Alternatively, one that incorporates a pull-out bed underneath is ideal for sleepovers.’
What can I do with a box room?
The proud owners of compact city apartments, crash-pads, house boats and cute country cottages know how to be clever with space, and such focused thinking can be good for any home, helping to streamline space and create optimum storage. If you are hoping to create your very own petit designer box room, then you'll be surprised to know that there are many ways to make your small room beautiful.
The experts – from architects to designers – recommend that you start by focusing on lighting. The right lighting can easily make or break a scheme – so this needs to be your first plan of action.
Once you've mastered box room lighting, then consider a carefully-curated color palette. While it may seem counter-intuitive to go for a bold color in a small space, a box room is the perfect place to experiment. Be brave with your box bedroom color ideas .
What's more, don't be afraid to go big when it comes to furnishings. 'An oversized accessory in a box room will look much better than a number of smaller pieces,' says Mary Barber-Fray of Mary Barber-Fray Interior Design .
How do you make a box room look nice?
If budget allows, consider having wardrobes built in. A good wardrobe will last you for life, so it’s worth saving up and spending as much as you can afford to.
A statement wardrobe might seem attractive, but your tastes might evolve over time, so if you’re spending a lot or are at all unsure, it’s safer to err on the side of caution and choose a classic style you won’t tire of, that will slot seamlessly into future decorating schemes.
How do you maximize space in a box room?
The best way to maximize space in a box room is with well-placed mirrors. Not only will a statement design add a focal point to your small box room, but it will help make the space feel bigger and brighter by reflecting light.
Choose a mirror that suits your existing décor and works with your look. With so many designs available, you’ll be sure to find something to complement your scheme, whether it’s a sleek contemporary design or a shabby-chic piece.

In this article Quartblog deals with a bedroom in a box.
We already know that the lack of space exacerbates ingenuity, and even more so when it comes to designing small apartments. The open concept that has become so widespread lately is not well suited for a bedroom that requires privacy. Decision? One option is to implement a bedroom inside an isolated box, which, if necessary, can be connected to common areas. We will show you some of these ideas. nine0003
Romance
The arched entrance gives the bedroom a romantic look. In addition, curtains provide the necessary privacy of the room and allow you to separate it from the general space.
Screens
Translucent screens can be used as partitions. And by placing the bed on a wooden panel podium, the space becomes even more original.
Other material
"Another option" is the idea of using a material that is different from the rest of the rooms to visually separate the bedroom space.
Bedroom in a box: black cube

In general, my daughter Alexandra, she is in the 6th grade, received such an unusual task at the technology lesson. But our room turned out so cool that it’s worth making it just like that, for fun. And then it is quite possible to play with it, for example, to settle some pretty baby in it.
And the work is creative, pleasant, interesting.
The main element of the room is a shoebox in which we cut a door that can be opened and closed.
And also cut out two windows. Used a utility knife for this. The base is ready.
Let's take care of the floors of our room. We have a carpet on the floor. They made it from two sheets of yellow and green corrugated cardboard.
Cut the cardboard into strips.
And then glued the strips to the bottom of the box with a glue stick.
And now the wallpaper. They took greenish paper.
And carefully glued it to the walls of our box room.
Frames were made of white paper near the windows. Everything is like in people)
And we made the door yellow with curly green tabs. In general, the whole room will be in yellow and green colors.
The room is ready. We start making furniture and interior items. Let's start with the sofa. Let's take a pack of tea, colored paper, scissors and a lid from a box that has already turned into a room. nine0003
We glue the box with paper, and cut out the back and sides of the sofa from the lid.
We also glue the sides and back with colored paper and glue it to the sofa. Ready! You can sleep)
A floor lamp is provided as lighting in our cardboard room. Let's make it from a toilet paper roll.
The floor lamp will look like a lampshade on a leg, remember, these were very popular in the past. Cut out the bushing like this. A lampshade on top, a stand on the bottom, a leg between them. nine0003
Paint the lampshade from the inside with yellow paint, the stand with green paint.
Cover the outside of the lampshade with yellow corrugated cardboard, and the leg and stand with green.
This is what the floor lamp looks like from the back. Now it won't be dark)
Let's turn the vitamin box into a cupboard.
Just cover it with colored paper. Closet ready! Now there will be a place to put things.
Let's turn these matchboxes and a piece of cardboard into a desk. nine0003
We glue the boxes together, 4 pieces each. And cover them with colored paper.
We decorate the drawers, glue colored paper and half beads that act as handles on the drawers, you can make them from something else. We decorate a tabletop made of durable cardboard with colored paper.
Glue the top in place.
The chair is made according to the same principle. We take two matchboxes and a piece of thick cardboard. nine0003
We glue everything with colored paper and combine it into a single whole.
Ready! Sit down)
Here it is all our designer yellow-green handmade furniture.
Let's try to arrange the furniture in its place. View from above.
View from the door.
View from windows.
And everything would be very good, but there are not enough decorative features. Let's do interior design. We have found such cute pictures with the cat Basik. What you need)
We cut out frames for our pictures from yellow corrugated cardboard.
Glue the big picture around the door.
We “hang” a couple of small pictures on the other wall. And we have another one located in the sofa area.
Textiles are next. We decided to put beautiful pillows on the sofa. How to make them? First, cut out square blanks from felt.
And then we sew them into pillows, fill them with cotton wool and glue the letters, also cut out of felt, on the front side.
The letters add up to the name Sasha) We place the pillows on the sofa. And they also made a beautiful bedspread on the sofa out of felt. nine0003
Yes, and next to the sofa on the floor we placed an ottoman. Finally, we found a use for our green pompom, which we made with our own hands a very long time ago)
And curtains were hung on the windows for comfort. They were made from old tulle, which has served its purpose. Felt strips were sewn on top of the curtains and then simply glued to the wall above the windows. It immediately became cozy in the room)
This is how the room looks from above now.
Let's take a look from here as well. Beauty, isn't it? Would you like to live in such a room? We would not refuse)
That's the whole master class. Try to create something similar at your leisure. This is indeed a very exciting activity.
We didn't glue the furniture to the floor. It is very interesting to rearrange it, which will be very interesting for children.
