Whether you have a tiny two-bedroom loft on the outskirts of town or a teeny studio apartment in the heart of your city (or something in between, even!), chances are you’ve got a piece of furniture in front of your sofa known as the coffee table. Great for putting your feet up, eating dinner on, or displaying books and trinkets, the coffee table can also have a downside: It’s a bulky object taking up precious space.

Decorating Secrets: 6 Benefits to Going Minimal in the Bedroom
We’re defining “minimal” a little literal in this post — we’re talking about bedrooms lovely because they only have the minimal amount of elements in them. A bed. Maybe a nightstand.
