7. Chic and Functional Furniture
Furniture manufacturers have caught on to the realities of how we truly live—whether that reality involves limited space, rambunctious family members or the need to hide clutter. Happily, there are tons of new products on the market that are aesthetically interesting while still providing practical solutions. Modular designs like this sectional sofa can be especially versatile. Each rectangular piece can be turned on its side to become the back, or flipped horizontal to become seating. The pieces can be reconfigured as needed, putting customization in the hands of the consumer.
