7 Furniture Pieces That Do Double Duty
Combine aesthetics and function—even in a small space—with these top picks

Living in compact spaces is both a boon and a bane: You may feel restricted by the limited space, but at the same time, it challenges your creativity to use every nook and cranny to the fullest. What you will find most helpful as you strive to strike a balance between aesthetics and function are furniture pieces that do double duty. You don't just maximize what space you have; you also get more value for your money! Read on to find out what we mean.

SOFA + BED. The sofa bed is the mother of all double-purpose furniture. It's easy to fold out and fold back in as needed, turning your small space from a sleeping area into a receiving area in an instant.

STEPLADDER + SHELVES. Pushed to the side of a room, this can provide extra storage space, and it can also come in handy when you need to reach for something especially in overhead kitchen cabinets.
