Functional & Fabulous-Looking Furniture

items I love to furnish my space with pretty pieces but I also want to stretch my dollar. So I prefer pieces that are dual purpose or multi-functional. The furniture pieces I have picked out below are both pretty (with a touch of glam) and practical.

Chairs, Sofas & Beds
Chairs and sofas are functional but I use them as accent pieces to dress up my space.
This is the exact type of chair that is perfect for a small space. It swivels 360 so you can use it in front of a table or desk and then swivel around to watch TV. It also comes with a free, matching pillow that you can hug up if you're curling up wi...
Swivel Barrel Chair with Free Pillow
The best feature of this couch is that it's modular whic means you can move the pieces around to fit your space and design preference. The 2nd best feature is it requires no assembly because it arrives fully compressed and ready to come out of the bo...
Sectional Cloud Boneless Sofa Couch
I have one of these in a spare bedroom for guests and it's perfect because when the guest arrives, all I need to do is pull out the seat and it becomes a very comfortable bed. When they leave, I fold the bed back into a chair or ottoman so it doesn't take up space in the room. To see how it works, w...amzlink.to/az0DgadmGELEg

The swivel chairs included in this set is definitely my favorite! The entire set can seat 5 and it comes with a glass-top table. The cushions are on the thicker side and have covers that are weather resistant so you don't need to worry about too much...

Red Barrel Studio® Kayliah Cutler Faux Marble Top Kitchen Island White/White Marble & Reviews | Wayfair
This gold metal book case from Walmart seems to be a dupe of the much, much more expensive Silvia Wide Etagere from Ballard Designs!

If you love gold accents, this baker's rack will store everything for you with golden style.
Mercer41 Aldrina 39.4 Baker's Rack | Wayfair
Here's an ottoman that is both comfortable to sit on but also contains hidden storage. The gold accent towards the base gives your space an upscaled look without breaking the bank.

The ottoman is so cute and the silver chrome accent is perfect to match a neutral styled home.

Bar Carts
I don't think bar carts are just for drinks! In fact, I like to showcase my favorite plates, cutlery and napkins on them. And to lighten things up I like to sprinkle a couple of tea light holders and a lamps as well.

Console Tables
I think console tables are so versatile. I have one in the bedroom and one in the dining room but they also look great in a hallway or entry way as well because of their slim profile. Once, I also placed a console table behind a sofa right up against...
I got this console table because of its timeless elegance but also because it has a 2-level table surface. The table has a muted champagne sheen that is neutral enough to match almost any home decor.

Ottomans
I use ottomans in many of my rooms because they are a great way to “hide” things I use everyday but don't necessarily want visitors to have to see when they visit. I put blankets, throws, and pillows in ours but they're also great to store magazines,...
I love the square and rectangular ottomans because they are easy to position with sofas, couches and even up against a wall. #ad

Round ottomans are great to use as a secondary side table or for smaller ones, we use them as a foot stool as well as extra seating. #ad

Leather Storage Ottoman Coffee Table
Shelving & Cabinets
I think floating shelves and free-standing shelves are a great way for displaying not just books but collections of plates, collections of home decor, and collections of art because they don't take too much space on the floor. It's also a great way t...
I love when furniture is both beautifully designed, esthetically pleasing, and fully functional. This shelving unit can be used to as a display case and it rotates so you can change up the look of your space with a quick spin. How cool is that!? #ad

I like the design detail of the cabinet doors. It's elegant and perfect to store the “good” plates and bowls inside (the ones that we bring out only for guests). The table top is perfect to showcase a tall potted plant in the center and some nice can...

Lighting
I love to use lighting in my home not only to keep it well-lit but also as home decor: lamps, chandeliers, wall sconces, etc.
I love furniture that is both great looking and functional. This is a floor lamp that doubles as a shelf. The shelving is made of glass and the rest of the shelving is made of wood. Adding this piece to your hallway, bedroom or living room won't take...
FENLO Floor Lamp with Shelves
I like a home that is brightly lit. So I have different chandeliers and lamps which not only provides light but looks great as part of my overall home decor.
Lighting, Chandeliers & Lamps 💡
I love this table lamp because it's so compact but serves multiple purposes. I have it placed by a bedside table for night time reading but I can also charge up my phone and tablet at the same time because it comes with 2 USB ports and an AC outlet.
Table Lamp With USB Ports & AC Outlet
I have one of these LED lights that fan out installed in my garage. It's really bright and lets me do my woodworking even after dark. It's not necessarily pretty but it is very bright.
LED Garage Light
This table lamp literally reminds me of Aladdin and I love the sleek shiny base. I have 2 of these lamps sitting on a console table.
Artiva Aladdin Table Lamp
I love the simplicity of this wall sconce. It's modern and sleek and looks great on either side of the fireplace.
George Kovacs Wall Sconce
I love bling but sometimes it's nicer to not have a big, showy crystal chandelier in the kitchen. So I have this one mounted to the ceiling above the stove area and the black shade is just sheer enough to let a little of the bling shimmer through.
Ceiling Mounted Crystal Chandelier
This wall sconce has hidden feature I absolutely love. It actually has glass crystals hanging inside. It's a subtle feature but I think it looks so lovely when the light is illuminated.
Inca Glass Wall Sconce
I think these wall sconce lanterns have such a beautiful, classic look. They're perfect in the dining room and provides excellent mood lighting while dining.
Wall-mounted Lanterns
These lights are perfect in the bathroom but also look great above my vanity for when I'm getting my make-up done. They're super bright and they remind me of old hollywood.
