When maximizing your space – big or small – it’s great to be creative and open to ideas. One perspective is the idea of layering furniture. Sometimes placing a piece of furniture in front of another piece simply works in the space.
Flickr Finds: Layering Furniture
We spotted Miluzeria’s bedside setup in the Apartment Therapy LA Flickr pool and really like how she placed a smaller stool in front of her floating bedside table. Aside from the extra tabletop space this provides her, we love how she used a contrasting color and how the furniture lines are not as wide or deep as the floating piece. Here are a few more ways to layer furniture. Mix it up and create a room that works for you.

This William Sonoma Home showroom showcases a living room set-up with two club chairs angled in front of the media cabinet.

Maybe we should show cases where this doesn't work too - like the folks who place TV's and sofas in front of fireplaces (working or not)
