If you’re ever stumped on what furniture items you should purchase for your home, pick timeless pieces that can serve multiple purposes. Statement pieces may be more fun to shop for, but they’re just not as functional.
Most of the time, their only use is to create a wow factor, which we love. But if you’re short on space or cash, versatile pieces are the way to go. Furniture that can play more than one role in your home will be worth investing in.
Combine that utility with your desired design aesthetic, and you’ll have built the perfect home for yourself! Here are some of the most versatile furniture pieces out there.
Drop Leaf Dining Table
Traditional dining tables can take up too much space, but without a proper dining table, it can be hard to host guests. The answer is a drop-leaf table. With a drop-leaf table, a group of people will still have enough room to dine comfortably.
You can always fold the leaves down to use the table as a desk or coffee table and easily push it off to the side of the room when you need more space.
Storage Bench Or Ottoman
Benches and ottomans provide so much flexibility. They can fulfill three duties in your home. First of all, a bench or an ottoman can be turned into a coffee table. Just place a serving tray on top so that it’s stable enough to set drinks or candles down on.
They also serve as extra seating for larger gatherings and can be used as comfy footrests. Finally, it gives you storage space for your blankets, pillows, purses, books, or toys.
