What’s the best way to deal with limited space? Find furniture that does double duty—–whether it’s a rolling cart that becomes a prep station and then a makeshift dining table, or a roomy ottoman that offers seating as well as concealment for your sundries. We
collected our favorite transformative pieces in an online-exclusive slideshow for your viewing pleasure.
 

Dress Sofa

Designer Anna von Schewen has done a lot of work for Gärsnäs in the past, and we think this might be the furniture company’s own special way of giving back. They’ve given her a lovely little sofa-for-two to try her dress on, and it seems a perfect fit. Anna pointed out how the back of the sofa also makes a great room divider, but we also admire the protected nook under the seat. A safe haven from sneaky purse bandits looking to make off with your new Kate Spade. Perfect.
