I've always thought of Canadian furniture store EQ3 as a sort of Ikea for grown-ups. So I started doing some research on the company after seeing a post on Decor8 the other day, and wouldn't you know, that's pretty much what the founders had in mind.
EQ3 was founded by Peter Tielmann, who moved from Europe to North America in 1999 and was shocked by the lack of cool furniture options for young consumers.

I can't help but toss a few throw pillows on my sofa. It just makes it easier to relax. Since my sofa is fairly modern, and lacks overstuffing, throw pillows are definitely needed, in my opinion.

I adore this sofa, which is featured in The Invention of Lying. It has great, clean lines and a modern shape, but still looks cozy, and the neutral linen color makes it easy to decorate around. Neutral sofas are a great building block for a number of styles, from classic country to bohemian chic.

For those of you wondering how to decorate a studio, or just living in a small space, I've always emphasized that dual-purpose furniture is key. A pull-out sofa will accommodate overnight guests and serve as seating during the day. At 66" wide, the West Elm Convertible Sofa ($799) is a great size for a studio.

Ok, this may not be the best idea if you have kids, pets, or accident-prone people in your house. But if you live in a small space with barely enough room for a coffee table, this Vanpey SofaHanger would come in very handy. Designed by Berliner Ralf Paul Schmitz, the makeshift table comes in two varieties — the SofaHanger Alu (at left) and the Bordeaux (at right) — and the width is customized to fit your sofa.

Though I'm not a mathematician by trade, I still believe that the Royalton Sofa ($9,335) — designed by Philippe Starck in 1991 — can be expressed by the following formula: Settee + Headboard = Royalton. The ever-resourceful and always surprising Starck is responsible for many unique designs, including my fave, the Louis Ghost Chair.
Of course, I'm more likely to spend 10G on my garden than on this piece of furniture — let's face it, if your dog secretly jumps on your sofa, it's never a good idea to drop a lot of money on such a royal piece.

I'm not keen on reality TV but The City is my guilty pleasure: I just can't get enough of the fabulous interiors, particularly Whitney Port's one-bedroom. The central feature of her killer pad is this gorgeous turquoise and gold patterned sofa. I'm absolutely infatuated with it, but I'm sure it's a custom piece, sad!

It's pretty rare that a sofa makes my Steal of the Day cut. But, at nearly 40 percent off, the Room & Board Townsend 64-inch Armless Sofa ($699, reduced from $1,100) in Doria Pepper certainly qualifies. No, it doesn't have arms, but its plump cushions look enticingly comfortable.

As a kid, it was really cool to have a bunk bed, especially if it was covered in something even cooler, like novelty sheets featuring The Smurfs or the Transformers. But this Transformer-meets-bunk-bed totally kicks the ass of all those other forms of coolness. I mean, really, how amazingly awesome is this Mobelform Doc Sofa/Bunk Bed?
