Multipurpose furniture not only makes sense in small spaces, but it's also a great investment. With the rise of the tiny-home movement and a lack of space in many urban apartments, it's more important than ever to buy useful, well-designed objects. Whether you're looking to outfit a living room, a kitchen, or a bedroom, there's a product that can help you save space — and money — by doing more than one job. Read on for our top 10 picks.
1 Couch or Bed
2 Desk or Bedside Table
Secretary desks are a great way to save space without sacrificing design. By placing this secretary desk ($399) beside your bed, you have a two-in-one combo: a nightstand and a workspace.
3 Bench or Closet
Entryways would be well served to have a storage bench ($599). A place to sit is suddenly transformed into an extension of the closet.
4 End Table or Bar Cart
A small two-tiered cart on wheels ($369, originally $465) can do double duty as a bar cart on bottom, end table on top.
5 Ottoman or Bed
Perfect for someone who has frequent guests but no guest room, pieces like this convertible ottoman ($559, originally $699) make hosting easy. When not in use as a bed, the piece folds right back up into a cozy ottoman.
6 Bed or Dresser
Say goodbye to wasted space under the bed. Investing in a bed frame with storage ($329 full size) is the equivalent to adding a few drawers to your dresser.
7 Lounger or Toy Storage
8 Table or Desk
A dining space can double as a work area. This trestle table ($500, originally $600) could double as a desk in a workshop.
9 Coffee Table or Storage
Your coffee table can do more than look pretty. This coffee table ($150) doubles as a place to store throw pillows, blankets, and whatever else your heart desires.
