Living Room Furniture: Choosing the Perfect Pieces for Your Space
When it comes to living room furniture, the pieces you choose fill your space – but they also define it. They reflect how you live, how you relax, how you host. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all interiors here at Lighouse. We believe your living room should feel lived-in. Personal. Warm. And, of course, designed to last.
So, how do you go about selecting the perfect living room furniture? It starts with knowing what matters: craftsmanship, comfort, and character. Below, we’ll walk you through handpicked, custom, living room furniture pieces that were made with care, in South Africa, by real people who treat wood like a canvas rather than a commodity.
The Okavango Plasma Unit
Don’t let your TV unit be an afterthought. The Okavango Plasma Unit 4 Drawer Two Tone is a centrepiece and a bold statement. A black frame provides the structure and a modern industrial touch. Then you get the warmth: umber-stained drawers that bring the soul of the wood to life. Four spacious drawers keep the chaos at bay (remotes, cables, notebooks with half-written lists) and let your surface stay clean and considered.
The open centre shelving holds your media tech, but it doesn’t scream “electronics.” It lets harmony settle in. Spruce-pine-fir wood gives this piece its backbone – literally. Durable. Reliable. Timeless.
For those seeking living room furniture that anchors a space instead of just existing in it, this one earns its place, and then some.
The Okavango Wine Sideboard
Living rooms aren’t just made for Netflix. They’re made for people. Connection. Quiet glass-of-wine nights. And for that, you need furniture ready to support the gathering.
The Okavango Wine Sideboard is a purpose-built stunner crafted from locally sourced spruce wood. Remind your guests where they are: South Africa. Earthy, grounded, soulful.
It stores up to 16 bottles for your inner sommelier, with precise cubby sections that don’t waste an inch. Two top drawers let you tuck away corkscrews, coasters or the little things that turn good evenings into great ones. And if “standard size” doesn’t suit your space, we’ll build it to fit yours.
The Cross River Bookshelf
Nothing says “welcome” like a shelf of books. They tell your story without speaking and show the soul behind the decor.
Meet the Cross River Bookshelf – Small – and don’t let the word ‘small’ fool you. It may be compact, but it’s mighty in charm. Handmade from spruce wood with our signature rustic cross-panel design on the sides, this bookshelf blends function with art without shouting for attention.
Three generous shelves let your best stories live out in the open: books, sculptures, photos, your favourite ceramic elephant from a forgotten market visit. And because it’s fully customisable, we can shape it to suit your nook, your niche, your world.
The Nile Coffee Table
Let’s talk centre-stage. The coffee table. Overshadowed too often but never overlooked. The Nile Coffee Table keeps it humble… because it doesn’t need embellishment to be magnificent.
Made from high-quality South African spruce, it’s rectangular, solid, and irresistibly touchable. The wood grain whispers stories. The eco-friendly stains breathe life into the colouring without masking its honest nature.
Need a coffee table that feels homegrown, not showroom? One you can place your feet on during movie night, or carefully style with coffee table books and a delicate monstera leaf? This is the one.
The Lake Turkana Server
The Lake Turkana Server offers four deep drawers, ready to hide the clutter, the game controllers, and even last Christmas’s batteries you swore you’d organise. But it goes further. The top? Painted in a crisp white finish. The frame? Customisable in any colour you love. Seafoam? Charcoal? We’ll make it happen.
Perfect for behind the sofa, flanking a dining area, or making an entryway unforgettable, this piece is your understated workhorse, dressed like a show pony.
At Lighouse, we believe the heart of the home is forged by hands. Supporting custom living room furniture not only celebrates tradition, it gives you better furniture – pieces that live long, wear well, and carry your stories for years.
