Designing My Dream Kitchen Sitting Area
When I first stepped into my new build home, I knew I wanted to create a space that felt warm, modern, and personal. Clean lines, neutral tones, and subtle texture, that’s what I had in mind. So when I discovered BoConcept’s Santiago Sideboard in dark oak veneer with matte black legs, I instantly knew it would be the star of my kitchen sitting area.
The Santiago Sideboard isn’t just beautiful, it’s practical too. The internal bar features add a sophisticated touch, perfect for hosting or simply displaying my favourite glassware. Delivery was smooth, just 2 to 4 weeks, and the BoConcept delivery team didn’t just drop it off; they assembled it right there. Every piece arrived flat-packed, but they transformed it into a stunning centrepiece in minutes.
Designing with BoConcept’s Expert Team
Before I made my purchase, I met with BoConcept’s interior design team at Westfield. They helped me visualise how the Santiago Sideboard would fit with my flooring and existing furniture. We played with tones, finishes, and layouts until it all came together perfectly.
It’s these little touches, that personal design support, that make BoConcept such a standout brand for anyone wanting a designer look without the overwhelm.
Layering Textures with Timeless BoConcept Pieces
To add warmth and cohesion, I paired the Santiago Sideboard with the Cosmo Rug, also from BoConcept. It’s a neutral piece that grounds the space beautifully and ties in the subtle beige tones of my walls and furniture.
The Modena two-seater sofa and footstool complete the setup, simple, structured, and incredibly comfortable. I love how these pieces blend functionality with sophistication, creating a room that feels curated yet lived-in.
And those custom cushions? I sourced the fabric myself from Shepherd’s Bush Market, because a touch of DIY design always adds personality. They bring that final, cosy layer that makes the space feel like home.
My Growing Love for Interior Design
Since moving into my new build, I’ve discovered how much joy comes from crafting a space that reflects who you are. I’ve started paying attention to the way materials, lighting, and accessories come together to tell a story.
BoConcept has played a huge part in that journey, teaching me that interior design isn’t just about furniture, it’s about how it makes you feel every time you walk into the room.
