About Tangkoko Living

What are you doing when you’re ‘living’? Your living space may be the part of your home you spend the most time in, so it needs to reflect all the things that you do. It’s also often the only space you have to be creative, so it should feel open to possibilities.

Are you reading, watching TV or listening to music. Does relaxing to you mean surrounding yourself only with ethical furniture? It is possible to buy furniture that meets these needs. Fair-trade these days doesn’t mean a sacrifice in style. Contemporary living furniture combines modern functionality with classic styling in ethical materials. Natural materials can be very relaxing to live with i.e. wood, natural fibres, recycled glass for example. Knowing that they are sustainably sourced too, can help you to rest easy. But what to buy?

Got a massive widescreen TV? You can support all that technology with a beautiful piece of solid timber that can accommodate all the rest of your entertainment in one unit.

If books are more your thing, then bookshelves add a touch of class, and essential storage. Indeed if you’re after a minimal look, then incorporating enough storage into your living space is a must. Use sideboards, cabinets, entertainment units and cupboards to tuck away the things you don’t want to show off. Bookcases can be used to display your collections as well as tidy them away. Use a single shelf to display a statement piece or group similar shaped or coloured objects together for symmetry.

Don’t forget the little touches. This is where your style and personality can really shine. Accessories like a tea light holder in recycled materials add mood to the room and also reflect your thinking on the impact we’re having on the world.
