When furnishing your home, functionality is just as important as style. After all, if your home is beautiful but you hate living in it, then what’s the point? Integrating multipurpose pieces will go a long way in terms of upgrading the entire space in terms of both appearance and functionality. By introducing intentional elements, you can truly make the most of any part of your home, from your living room to your entryway.

Here at Speas Interior Design, our experienced specialists are happy to help you consider the possibilities. In this blog, we will take a closer look at three functional pieces that we think can go in any home.

Storage Benches

When redesigning any setting, it’s essential to consider how the space should be utilized, but tiny areas require more thought. Small settings are limited in what you can include in them, so choosing pieces that can serve more than one purpose is critical.

Take your entryway, for example. This narrow environment can frequently only comfortably fit one or two people, so most traditional pieces of furniture are out of the question. However, a small storage bench could bring quite a bit to the space, adding storage and seating to an area of your home that really needs it. Now you have a seat to help you tie your shoes, while also having a place to throw any old odds and ends you want to keep near your entryway.

Of course, storage benches can also be used in other rooms, such as your primary or guest bedroom. In these specific settings, consider placing them at the foot of the bed and storing blankets, throws, and extra pillows. Of course, feel free to experiment with placement, as benches can go anywhere that could benefit from an added level of organization.

Ottomans

These pieces of furniture will feel right at home inside your living room for various reasons. For starters, many ottomans are highly customizable, so they can be tailored to work alongside any existing color palette within the room. You can add an ottoman that exactly matches your current style, so you wont have to find all new furniture just to match.

On top of being carefully constructed, these functional pieces also serve a variety of purposes. From acting as a footrest to providing extra seating, these versatile pieces will surely become essential pieces within your home. Your ottoman will instantly become a piece of furniture you often use in your home.

Desks

Now, if you have a home office, chances are you understand just how useful your desk can be. Not only is this a great workspace, but it can also double as a reading area, a workspace, or even an emergency storage area.

Typically, these pieces are built from wood or metal, so you can always count on a high level of durability. Plus these study materials are often worked into gorgeous, artistic pieces of furniture that will not only give you usable space but will tie the room together and provide some visual interest.
