A Perfect Night In: Fun Things to Do Without Leaving Home

At King Living, we know that after a long day, sometimes the best place to be is on your sofa in the comfort of your own home. Whether you’re flying solo or spending time with loved ones, the right environment can turn everyday moments into something truly special. If you’re wondering what to do after work or searching for nighttime activities at home that help you disconnect and decompress, we’ve got you covered.

We asked four creatives to share how they unwind and embrace the beauty of downtime and to choose their perfect sofa or sofa bed to relax on. The result? Four distinct visions of the perfect night in, each elevated by thoughtful interiors and a focus on comfort.

A night in with an artist: Lucinda Jones

For Sydney-based artist Lucinda Jones, her idea of how to relax by yourself involves creativity, calm, and coastal-inspired comfort. Her nights in are framed by a soundtrack of mellow music, a glass of wine, and a steaming bowl of homemade pasta.

Lucinda surrounds herself with tones that mirror her art—earthy, coastal, and serene. With the King Sofa Bed in Leura Ocean fabric and the 1977 Sofa Chair in Leura Pewter fabric, her space is a canvas of moody blues and deep green hues that echo the natural world. Here, inspiration is always close by, and relaxation is effortless.

A bookworm’s night in: Katie’s story

There are few better night activities at home than curling up with a good book. For Katie, a lifelong book lover, her perfect night means turning the page on reality. She reaches for the latest romance novel, wraps herself in a cosy blanket, and disappears into another world.

Reading up to ten books a month, Katie makes comfort a priority. Her King Sofa Bed in Leura Biscotti fabric is the ultimate reading retreat, while the 1978 High Back Chair in Leura Caramel fabric gives her the support she needs to stay up just one more chapter.

Fun things to do at home inspired by Katie:

Start a new novel or revisit an old favourite
Create a personal reading nook with mood lighting and plush cushions
Try journaling or writing a short story of your own

A family night in: Artist Werner Bronkhorst & family

For artist Werner Bronkhorst, a night in is a blend of personal relaxation and meaningful connection. With his wife Charli and their children by his side, the family enjoys low-lit moments filled with music, movies, and chocolate treats.

Their choice of the King Sofa Bed in Leura Ocean and Natural White complements Werner’s newest art collection, Wet, inspired by water and scuba diving. Its adaptable design means everyone finds a way to relax their own way, whether it’s watching a documentary or simply enjoying each other’s company.

Fun things to do at home inspired by Werner and his family:

Stream a movie and turn your lounge into a mini cinema
Light a few candles and enjoy a low-key cheese board
Take turns sharing music or art that speaks to you

A night in with a Florist: Holly Hipwell

Florist and stylist Holly Hipwell chose a playful palette of pinks and reds for her King Sofa Bed. Her perfect night in is joyfully unscripted—filled with laughter, lounging, and a bold splash of colour. Her King Sofa Bed in Leura Pinot and Rose is the heart of it all, where she unwinds in style after a busy day.

For Holly, the secret to how to relax by yourself is surrounding yourself with beauty. Whether it’s fresh blooms, luxurious textures, or soft fabrics, her space becomes an expression of personality and peace.
