Living Room Ideas with Bubby & Bean's Melissa Williams – IKEA Home Tour

In this special episode of IKEA Home Tour, the Squad helps Melissa Williams, the founder of the lifestyle blog and brand Bubby and Bean, whose living room is in need of a furniture makeover!

When Melissa furbished her living room years ago, she and her husband Robbie had yet to start their family. Now that they have two children, they're feeling increasingly cramped in their living room space. Their sofa, the centerpiece of the room, doesn't fit the four of them snuggly anymore — much less when they're entertaining friends and family. Melissa and her family would like to update the space with modern living room furniture that can grow with them for years to come.

Thanks to the Squad, Melissa and family now have enough living room space to cuddle up together or host a party of guests, all with flexible solutions they can easily adapt to their future homes. For the sofa, the Squad chose the SÖDERHAMN modular sofa with matching chair, featuring deep seating, big cushions with covers that can be removed easily for washing, and plenty of seating for entertaining guests. To accommodate a variety of people and situations, the sections of the sofa come apart and can be rearranged to fit their needs. The Squad selected the checkered LAPPLJUNG RUTA rug, as well as covers, tables and other living room furnishings in an assortment of bold, eclectic colors to reflect Melissa's style.

What’s IKEA Home Tour? We’ll tell you! We’re sending a team of IKEA experts on the road to help America solve real home furnishing challenges, big and small, and transform their living spaces. The Home Tour Squad is hitting the road to assist those who need help with home projects – from closet organization to living room style upgrades to bedroom makeovers – and to illustrate genuine solutions that make everyday life at home better. The Home Tour Squad will help plan and shop at the local IKEA store to find the best smart solutions for home challenges. The homeowners and the Squad members will then accomplish the transformation together! Plus, the Squad will film their journey along the way.

Putting together an Ikea sofa is the 7th level of hell.

It is clearly the homeowners said the sofa and table is not enough for entertain and outdated. I don't understand with some comment saying that before is better. I think they need to listen more and upgrade their taste.
