Multi-functional furniture is a must, as storage can be challenging in small living spaces. The beautiful Fenice bed, by Natuzzi Italia, offers a large storage space beneath the mattress to store extra linens and bedding (or even heavy winter clothing) while still having a smooth, stylish design.
2. Bar Stools for Dining and Entertaining

Most newer condos and townhomes have some kind of counter top eating area. Barstools are essential multipurpose seating for quiet dining or casual entertaining. If your goal is to keep your views unobstructed from the kitchen, look for sleek, low profile stools, which can be easily tucked away.

If your goal is to use this space as your main eating area, opt for stools with a back for more comfortable dining.
