These 8 Furniture Essentials Will Upgrade Any Space
Simple furniture swaps that will transform your room.
We’ve teamed up with our friends at Wayfair to share some of our favorite ways to upgrade your space. Psst! All of these products also happen to be on sale—along with others across the site that are discounted up to 70 percent off—as part of Wayfair's Cyber Month sale.
Refreshing your space doesn’t need to be overwhelming, expensive, or a huge task—sometimes all it takes is upgrading your basics. It can be as simple as replacing that bedframe you’ve had since your first apartment, getting your pup its own couch to nap on, or making more space in your kids’ bedroom by swapping out twin beds for a bunk bed. The trick is to pick out functional and stylish furniture that will leave you with a space you love. If you’re not sure where to start, we’re here—with the help of our friends at Wayfair—to help. Keep reading for eight, easy furniture upgrades that could make any room feel brand-new.
1. Light Beige Shanta Upholstered Storage Bed
Given the number of hours we spend, on average, in bed (at least eight hours of sleep multiplied by 365 nights equals...well, a lot), it only makes sense to invest in your sleep setup. This upholstered storage bed sets you up for hours of sound sleep—who wouldn’t want to fall asleep between its cozy, padded headboard and footboard?— and helps keep your room organized with its under-mattress storage. Just pull the sideboards away to provide four drawers of storage space for extra bedding, bedroom essentials, and anything else you can’t find a home for. The cherry on top? It has wooden slats to support the mattress, so no boxspring is needed.
2. Wayfair Sleep™ 14" Plush Hybrid Mattress
While we’re talking about investing in your sleep setup, let’s not ignore the backbone of a good night’s sleep: your mattress. This plush hybrid mattress has a 14-inch-thick build, plush firmness, cooling technology (hot sleepers take note!), and low motion transfer to keep the mattress jostling to a minimum if you’re one to slide out in the middle of the night for a glass of water.
3. Distressed White Carmel Hall Tree 40” Wide with Bench and Shoe Storage
Storage solutions don’t have to (and shouldn’t) be eyesores. A storage bench like this can help to reduce clutter and streamline your entryway in a simple and stylish way. Its white wood design is neutral enough to fit in with almost any decor, too.
4. Bria 46'' Media Console
Stop losing your remote control by keeping it on one of the shelves of this chic, midcentury-modern-style media console. If you don’t want to go through the hassle of mounting your television to the wall, this piece is perfect for you. It can hold up to 200 pounds, has a shelf fit for a sound bar, and looks good enough that any guests are bound to compliment it.
5. Jeniffer Kids Twin Over Twin Bunk Bed
If I could go back in time and change the bed I slept on as a kid, this would be the one I’d want. A built-in slide? That’s a top-tier luxury for any sleepover.
6. White/Natural Lolly 3-in-1 Convertible Crib
Help your baby sleep soundly (and stylishly) in this convertible crib. With the included toddler bed conversion kit, you won’t have to worry about swapping it out for a brand new frame as your babe grows—it will seamlessly convert from crib to toddler bed to daybed.
7. Perdue 81.5" Velvet Square Arm Convertible Sofa
No guest room? No problem. Any guest will feel right at home on this convertible sofa bed. Once flattened, it is the size of a twin bed and, thanks to its plush, velvet material, it’s soft enough that they might not want to get out in the morning.
8. Peacock Heisler Dog Sofa
Why shouldn’t your furry friend benefit from a room upgrade too? Throw out their old, worn-in bed and replace it with this miniature couch perfect for your dog or cat. It features a memory foam, orthopedic cushion and is machine washable, so you can clean off any dirty paw marks with ease.
