What do you think you know about space-saving, multi-functional furniture? Whatever it is, you'll be sure to change your mind after reading this article. Multi-purpose furniture design can elevate your luxury lifestyle as it serves to create more spacious living. Any domestic space can and should be both aesthetically beautiful and functional.

In a compact apartment, there are various ways to create the feeling of more space. Furniture configuration, color palette and geometric furnishings can really enhance a tiny zone. But what furniture pieces should you include in your small space? What should you omit to make a room appear bigger? These ideas will help you rethink your living arrangement -literally- so your home becomes that bijou sanctuary where you'll spend all your quality time.

The Floating Storage Staircase

It’s so worth having a built-in staircase in a natural-wood style that blends perfectly with neutral colored walls. Both the monochromatic white color and raw wood work to visually enlarge this space. These stairs also serve as storage containers and provide a bringing together of all the wood elements in this room.

When walls, windows and fireplaces come into play, it can be a challenge to create an open-plan living space. A simple strategy is to add a murphy bed that serves as an L-shaped sofa and wall-mounted shelf by day, and a queen-sized bed by night.

A long, narrow space, can be a bit tricky when configuring furniture. Here, this contemporary kitchen island fits perfectly and serves to create additional counter space, as well as some comfy seating.

The Folded Table

A dual-purposed, foldable table placed against a wall creates a natural pathway to elegance. When extended, the table serves as an eating area or working area. Select a table that aesthetically enhances your living space so when it's closed, it serves not only as a credenza but a work of art as well.

Try a coffee table that also provides extra seating with some upholstered ottomans. Such ottomans can also serve -when needed- as a footrest or storage. Position a standing lamp nearby to create the perfect ambience for those game nights with friends.

As the saying goes, big things come in small packages, and this tiny home proves that sentiment. And this ultra-deluxe miniature home also proves that housing for our changing America now includes tiny shipping-container homes customized with luxe finishes, designed with the intention for the homeowner to experience daily luxury living.

This prefabricated tiny home is comprised of two main structures—a main house and a partnering guesthouse/master bedroom. The main house is comprised of two sleek, open-sided storage containers -yes, the same steel storage containers used on cargo ships that are built to withstand any type of weather. Here with this home, two storage containers were fused together to create a single 640-square-foot primary boxed home.

The high-end, minimalistic home is set on two concrete foundations nestled between two knotty oak trees and overlooks the most expansive view.

The structures feature low-maintenance oxidized steel facades and nine-foot-tall sliding glass walls built into custom steel containers. The interiors have oiled oak cabinetry throughout; the floors and ceilings, including the shower stalls, are constructed from ipe wood.

Top-notch and long-lasting, ipe wood is also resistant to water and harsh weathering.

The main house features a whitewashed oak bed box in the middle of the space, which serves to divide the space in two: the open kitchen, dining room, and living room on one end of the box, and the private bathroom with shower and bedroom on the other. Sliding glass doors connect the interior to an outdoor porch that welcomes the most dramatic landscape, adding to the home's decor.

This high-end tiny home was swiftly assembled on-site, and in the most ideal location that embraces the most fantastic views.

The 330-square-foot master bedroom/guest house is a smaller version of the larger structure. A sizable whitewashed oak wardrobe bifurcates the space, with the bedroom on one side and the private bathroom on the other.

Whether you’re building a new home or re-designing your existing home, this article has something for you.

From a home's structure to interior design, color, and more, it seems like some home design trends merely come in and out of style - like the fleeting fads that they are. So, which ones do you keep and which to change up? The trends worth keeping are the ones with the staying power - the ones with design resilience that influence the following year's trends.

Here, we're sharing the trends that are IN for next year that will help you parse through 2020’s finest design crazes. And so, without further delay, let’s look at the trends we’re predicting for the year 2020, and the reasons as to why you’ll want to incorporate such trends into your home decor.

Mindful Design

More and more people are incorporating mindfulness into their interior design aesthetic. With the focus on zen-like living, minimalistic mindful décor will be a hit trend for many years to come.

Cool Color Palettes and Rich Wood Furnishings

Next year will carve out and make popular subtle, natural-toned colors that mingle perfectly with all-wood ceilings - seamlessly blending outdoor and indoor living spaces.

Like every other year in the past, the year 2020 will see more than one popular color, and stunning shades like Luscious Lavender and White Neutral will be celebrated.

Home Offices

Advancements in technology have made remote-working jobs more probable in the year 2020. This trend has interior designers enthusiastic about crafting furniture for home offices of all sizes.

Freelancers and entrepreneurs are at the forefront contributing to this trend by operating successful businesses that provide top-notch professional services from their residences. This start-up culture (which keeps growing) is what will make this "home office trend" here to stay, with the year 2020 providing some of the most inspirational home office designs.

Hidden Storage

We predict that in the coming year, out-of-the-box storage options will focus on being utilitarian and aesthetically pleasing, in order for homeowners to only showcase those items that personalize their homes and store away those items that clutter a space.

Multi-Functional Spaces

The multi-functional use of spaces has now become a priority for most homeowners, and the versatility of furniture pieces is now mandatory. For example, many homeowners no longer want a permanent dining room. They prefer using any extra space as a mixed-use space: on any given week, either as a home office, creative space, meditation area or a temporary dining room for when their guests come to visit.

The personalizing of spaces on an as-needed basis is the reason as to why versatile designated living spaces (which are able to change on any given day) are here to stay.

Take a look below for some items to stock up on for those snowy-white winter days when you won't want to leave the warmth of your home. Except to possibly make snow angels.

Herbal Teas

Luxury Items

Relaxing nights at home are few and far between for most of us these days. Modern life is incredibly busy to say the least. If you enjoy tea, then you will want to make drinking tea into a ritual. On that day when you're snowed in, and whether you prefer to watch movies, listen to music or cook cuisine, have a cup of aromatic tea in your favorite mug to elevate the homey experience.

Himalayan Detox Salts

Nothing thaws you out in winter like an intoxicating, heated bath. And to have one, you need the exceptional bath salts. Himalayan detox salts were made to help you relax and unwind.

Books, Magazines and Scented Candles

Luxury Items

A comfortable and cozy reading nook is mandatory. So select the perfect chair and throw pillow to accompany you and your latest reads.

When it gets too frigid to enjoy Mother Nature's sweet scents outside, burning a woodsy candle is the next best thing.

Office Supplies

Luxury Items

When bracing for a wild winter, stock up on those office items (paper, ink cartridges) before the cold really kicks in. This approach will save you the hassle of going outside into the frigid cold when you're under a tight deadline. Allow yourself to get the job done well, and effortlessly.

A Bottle of Red on Reserve

Luxury Items

A fine bottle of red wine will keep you warm and toasty while being snowed in.

Gourmet Coffee

Luxury Items

If you are one of the many millions of people who need their coffee fix every morning, then definitely invest in gourmet coffees and a luxury coffee machine. Whether it's a pod machine or espresso machine, you'll want this touch of luxury on those snowy mornings when the aroma of coffee is beckoning you from the warmth of your bed.

You'll never utter the words "I'm chilly" or "I'm tired" again.

A Heated Blanket

Luxury Items

Surviving winter is all about layers, so the more blankets the merrier. If you love to be cozy, purchase a high-performance heated blanket and wrap yourself up in its luxurious warmth.
