Combining comfort engineering, functionality and the art of living well, King Living is changing how we view and use occasional furniture
Occasional furniture is a type of furniture that can serve various purposes or meet multiple needs. They are loose pieces like side tables and ottomans, benches and poofs. By virtue of their size and versatile functionality, this also means they are incredibly flexible pieces of furniture.
King Living Brand Ambassador and renowned interior expert Neal Whitaker weighs in: "Occasional furniture, including a statement chair, can elevate almost any space within the home. Whether taking advantage of an unused corner, delivering a bold design statement or providing additional seating for guests, a statement chair lends adaptability to traditional and contemporary compositions"

In the past few decades, contemporary floor plans with open and connected living spaces have been favoured over traditional floor plans with closed-off and separated living areas.
Whitaker says the shift towards open-plan living has changed how we use our homes and furniture, something King Living considers when designing occasional pieces. The brand understands occasional furniture sit in open spaces and have the opportunity to make a visual impact while bringing personality to the area.
"The best occasional pieces combine functionality with visual interest and individuality," Whitaker adds. "Increasingly, we're seeing ottomans or daybeds replace the traditional third chair in living spaces. Not only can these pieces add visual impact, but also an element of practicality."

With a clear understanding of contemporary home layouts and what people need from their furniture, King Living's occasional furniture is multi-functional while offering style and comfort.
Consider organic-shaped ottomans like the Crescent and Lode or the refined Fleur Ottoman. "These designs combine comfort, functionality and aesthetics-sculptural pieces that will draw the eye whilst softening straight lines," shares Neale. "When not required for seating, ottomans and daybeds can double as coffee tables or surfaces for books and magazines."
With a curated collection of daybeds, occasional chairs and ottomans, the range of King Living occasional furniture doesn't just imbue any space with a harmonious blend of comfort, functionality and aesthetics, they also transcend the "occasional" label by lending themselves to daily use.
