Rust record wall

A wall for a vinyl collection: a long, low run of rust-orange cubbies each sized for a 12-inch record, oak-fronted cupboards in the middle for the amp, a solid oak top for the turntable, and two lipped oak ledges above, carried on slim oak uprights, where the favourite sleeves go on show.

More living room designs

• Maple lit slat wall with floating shelf A living-room wall of oiled maple slats on a charcoal backer, floor to ceiling and only 50mm deep, with two warm LED lines running up it and a floating maple shelf between them, lit underneath. It lights the seating end of the room without a single floor lamp or trailing cable, and the shelf holds art at the right height over the back of a sofa.
• Red oak charging sofa console A sofa-back console in honey-toned red oak, only 260mm deep and 720mm high so it tucks behind a sofa floated off the wall: sockets and USB chargers set flush in the top, a hidden wireless pad at one end and a cable tray underneath. It takes the place of side tables and trailing extension leads, and turns the back of the sofa into a lamp table, a drop for phones and a low shelf for baskets.
• Floating oak shelves with lights A Scandinavian trio of oiled white oak shelves — clean, warm, and lit from within — that sit like they grew out of the sage green wall.
