3 Furniture Pieces that Combine Form & Function

Spending a lot of time at home recently? While you might be going a little stir crazy, the time you’re spending at home during the COVID pandemic is a great opportunity to rethink your home’s décor. There’s no better time to research those useful furniture pieces that combine form and function to make life easier.

DIY home decorating usually comes as a side-line to all your other day-to-day activities like getting the kids out the door, making your way to work, and then doing it all in reverse in the afternoon. But now you can push your décor to a front burner like never before.  

3 Transformer Furniture Pieces

And here are just a few ideas for furniture pieces that combine form and function that you may not have had time to consider before.

1. Swivel Chairs – If you have a fireplace, and/or television, and/or picture window in your living room, you probably don’t have chairs from which you can enjoy them all, and converse with your guests face-to-face too.
   
   Swivel chairs let you enjoy different perspectives in the room. They can work as part of your bedroom furniture suite too.
   
   
2. Lift-Top Coffee Table on Castors – Working from home? Having people over? Want to watch a movie while you’re eating dinner? Need lots of floorspace and table-top space for a big gathering? Looking for more storage areas?
   
   This amazingly versatile coffee table will come to the rescue in all of these situations. The lift-top gives you a surface that’s easier to work or eat from than regular occasional tables, it has six drawers for storage and it easily wheels out of the way. And it looks great too.
   
   
3. 5-Piece Ottoman Set – Yes, you read that correctly. Like any ottoman, this one works as a comfortable footrest. It’s also large enough to fill in as an occasional table. But the real functionality magic happens when you lift off the top to reveal four pie-shaped pieces inside the ottoman that you can use for extra seating.
   
   And we’re not done yet. Flip the top over and you get a good-sized tabletop, turning this ottoman into a mini dining table. Oh, and the castors let you easily move the ottoman anywhere in the room. OK, finally we’re done!
