Creating a welcoming home that allows you to experience the simple pleasures and enjoy indoor-outdoor living is part of the art of living well with King Living
Wellness is a crucial component of living well, and apart from encompassing health and nutrition, this extends to relishing life's simple luxuries and pleasures.
But what exactly does living well mean? Inspired by a recent article penned by Australian-based style aficionado and TV personality Neale Whitaker for King Living, these are three philosophies to the art of living well.
Home is where the heart is

“If there’s one lesson the pandemic taught us, it was to value what we had close to home. Time was when I would have been eagerly planning the next trip overseas and deciding which far-flung exotic location to tick off the bucket list. And then life changed," writes Whitaker. "But we humans are an adaptable and resourceful bunch. Many of us chose to re-evaluate our pleasures on our doorsteps and—despite everything—live well.”
One way to create a warm and inviting home is with a spacious sofa like the Jasper Sofa. The epitome of relaxed Australian style, its modular design allows it to adapt its configuration to suit your needs—an L-shaped lounge sofa for you and the family or two separate sofas to accommodate guests.
The Jasper can also be reconfigured into a comfortable guest bed for guests staying the night. Additional components such as shelving, tables and an integrated media console can also be moved around to give your Jasper a fresh look each time and act as useful additional surfaces.

Hosting a dinner party with friends is a wonderful way to share the art of living well, and what better place to gather around than at the elegant Issho Dining Table, which comes with the option of an in-built Lazy Susan that makes it easier for larger groups to share a meal.
Meaning “together” in Japanese, Issho is a fitting name for the perfect place to gather with family and friends.

This piece of sculptural simplicity is defined by a series of curved pillars forming a dynamic base that can shift from an open to closed design. Personalise the Issho Dining Table to suit your own style and choose between either a round or rectangular tabletop in a premium timber veneer or high-performance ceramic of your choice.

To live well is to maintain a balance between work and taking time for ourselves. Fuel a love for reading with a comfortable chair like the Seymour Armchair with contoured curves.
Designed by Charles Wilson in collaboration with King Living, the Seymour offers the flexibility to customise it to your individual comfort level, whether it’s differing back heights, a swivel or fixed base option, and even a complementary footstool for maximum full-body comfort.

A good night’s sleep is the best way to start a day. Sink into a comfortable mattress fully customised to your preferences with Sleep+. While the conventional mattress design has not changed for years, the Sleep+ Mattress by King Living is engineered for maximum comfort.
Every layer of the Sleep+ Mattress stretches and yields to the human body, conforming to each unique body contour. It features zoned pocket springs throughout, based on the trusted KingCell Pocket Spring system used in King Living sofas for over 30 years. The Sleep+ responds, reacts, and conforms, creating a ‘hammock’ effect that provides the ultimate support, offering a restful and extremely comfortable sleep.
Sleep+ Mattresses are also a Sensitive Choice approved product. Whilst some mattresses contain layers of felt or foams - which act like filters trapping dead skin cells and moisture, creating the perfect breeding ground for dust-mites and mould - all the components in King Living Sleep+ mattresses have been engineered to allow for maximum breathability.

Experience indoor-outdoor living

“The building blocks of an outdoor room are similar to those of an indoor living space,” opines Whitaker. Indeed whilst many of us might have tried to bring the outdoors in by introducing more greenery and natural materials, we should also take full advantage of our tropical climate and create a chic outdoor room that is as comfortable and inviting as your indoor living space.
The outdoor options from King Living the stylish Zaza Sofa, make this looks easy. Designed in collaboration with preeminent Australian designer Charles Wilson, the Zaza Outdoor sets a new benchmark in contemporary outdoor design.
Its organic lines, relaxed tailored finish and deep plush seats combined perfectly embody quintessential Australian style. The sofa is available in individually tailored Sunbrella® fabrics that are UV stable, fade and mildew resistant with enhanced waterproofing, easily removed for professional cleaning or replaced for a fresh new look.
