One tip you will undoubtedly see repeated again and again during Small Spaces Month is to choose furniture that serves multiple functions. Ottomans and storage cubes are a great example of this as we can quickly name a few different uses: add a tray to make a coffee or side table, use it as additional seating for guests or use it as a foot stool.

And now with so many ottomans coming with interior storage, they have become even more versatile. Here's a roundup of a variety of ottomans and storage cubes for your home:
