Stylish Storage

It used to be that you either stored your off-season clothes under the bed or banished them to an attack or storage unit, but today's dwellers are getting savvy and looking for furniture that does double duty — for example, a stylish steamer trunk coffee table that can hold also all your wool sweaters. Searches for this type of off-season storage are up 160 percent.
