I have a small apartment and a lot of stuff, so I'll take any extra storage space I can get. One way I learned to maximise space is by investing in multifunctional furniture pieces [1]. Getting a bed or table with built-in storage is totally genius, but my favourite item to utilise is an ottoman. These versatile pieces work great in entryways, at the end of your bed, as a coffee table, or just under a window. There are tons of choices that have secret compartments for you to store stuff in.
If you're interested in getting one, you don't have to waste your time shopping, because I did the hard work for you. I curated a list of the 15 best and most affordable choices [2] out there. From classic leather to tufted velvet, no doubt you'll find one that matches your style. So what are you waiting for? Start saving space today, and snag one of these cool pieces.
