The handy drawer unit
It's all too easy to pigeonhole pieces of furniture. Take this bedside table, for example. The name suggests it needs to go next to a bed – but actually, it can live pretty much anywhere, so why not use one in a living room? As it has a drawer, it doubles as somewhere to hide clutter, making it more versatile than a simple side table.

The versatile wardrobe
The same goes for this wardrobe. You could use it a place to hang clothes, but it can also serve as a mini cloakroom in a hallway. Or as a utility cupboard. It's available in this smart grey or classic white, and has offers a lot of storage space within a relatively small footprint.

The diddy dining table

The decline of the dining table has been widely reported – with Kirstie Allsopp declaring the trend 'dangerous'. So if you're looking to reintroduce one to your home – and get family life back on track in the process – this neat design is perfect.
It's small but perfectly formed – the table measuring just over 120cm wide. You could push it up against the wall of a kitchen and store the four chairs elsewhere until meal times, so it can also double as a prep space or somewhere for the kids to do their homework.
