4 Essential Furnishings for Your Home

Versatility is often crucial in home furnishings. You never know when you might need to move a piece or rearrange your whole layout at the last minute to accommodate guests. 

So take a step back and assess: How versatile are your home furnishings? If they’re lacking in flexibility (or if you’re planning to furnish a new house in the near future), make sure to work these multipurpose pieces into the mix:

Side Tables: A pair of side tables gives you a place to set drinks in the living room. But they can also offer quick, easy and accessible storage, keeping your space from getting messy and cluttered. You can use side tables to hold your belongings next to your bed too.

Simple Dressers: Use them for clothes, linens and blankets in a bedroom or hallway and for towels in the bathroom. You can hide a dresser in the closet if you’re not keen on their aesthetic but still need the storage space.

Slipper Chairs: These simple, upholstered pieces are lightweight, easy to move across the house and great for entertaining. Pick a neutral color so it won’t throw off your design scheme when moved around. They can be kept in the bedroom, living room or dining area.

An Ottoman: It can be used as a footstool or seating in a gathering space. Get one that can also serve double duty with storage capabilities. Opt for one that can be used as a coffee table to really make the most of this piece.

When you’re buying new furniture for your home, think beyond its initial and immediate use. Could you move it to other areas of the house? Those are the furnishings worth investing in.
