The "great room" combining living rooms and kitchens has become a hallmark of interior design, and its influence is also felt in urban abodes. Freshome.com recently featured a Stockholm apartment that embraced this aesthetic and the designers took great pains to cordon off areas for different functions.

The room was set up with a large range cook top in the center of the room and very little around it. The designers went to work by using a pale green apartment sofa and loveseat facing one another with a glass-top coffee table in the center. A flat-screen television was placed on the far wall and the space was anchored with an area rug in the center.

The placement of the furniture away from the wall also helped to open up traffic flow and make the space feel significantly larger. As a finishing touch, the homeowners used colorful throw pillows and forest green throw blankets to give their small couch a dose of festive flair.
