A transparent centre
The table's glass top leaves a view of the floor between its rounded timber legs. It carries the book and vase while avoiding another broad wooden surface in a room already lined with boards.

An illustrated concept for Swedish west-coast cabin sitting room.
Olive upholstery meets honey-coloured boards in this Swedish west-coast cabin concept. A glass-topped coffee table keeps the floor visible, while the broad window frames rock and pine trees close to the house.
See the product sourcesThere is already plenty of timber here, from the floor right up to the ceiling. The glass-topped table gives the centre a lighter patch, with the grain of the boards still visible underneath. An olive sofa picks up the green outside and takes the main solid wall, leaving the broad window clear. A burgundy throw adds a darker note at one end. The few books in the low cabinet and the open book on the table suggest the scale of the brief: somewhere to sit for a while, with the landscape close by.

Colour palette
- Olive
- Honey pine
- Burgundy wool
- Warm chalk
- Rock grey
Let the window have the width
The sofa sits along the solid wall, so the main glazing can stretch across the end of the room. A single globe lamp occupies the corner without interrupting the view of the rocks.
What to borrow
When a room already has timber on several surfaces, vary what sits in the middle. A glass-topped table can reveal the floor beneath it; test its size with the sofa before adding more wood furniture or another patterned textile.
