The Best Furniture from Our 2024 Small/Cool Design Awards

Modern, modular, and oh-so-comfy, the low-slung Floyd sectional touts five pre-selected configuration options, or you can fully customize your own. Count on a keep-for-years piece, thanks to its high-quality, stain-resistant fabrics and deep, durable seats designed to be expanded on.

This sofa hits all the small-space high notes, from its low-profile bat wing back and its neutral upholstery to its compact frame. The neutral velvet will work with any style home, and you can upgrade to nubby bouclé for just $100 more.

The styling options are endless with the versatile Keep Stacking Storage System, which comes in two finishes with a built-in drawer and shelf. Use one solo as a nightstand or side table, or combine multiple to create a TV stand or bookcase — they connect both vertically and horizontally.

Room & Board’s Slim Console Table deserves a starring spot in any small space, whether it’s functioning as an entryway organizer or media console. Choose from eight compact sizes and configurations — starting at just 7 inches deep — plus 17 color options ranging from sleek onyx to a punchy scarlet.

This cozy hangout hero is also a budgeting hero. A swivel chair of this size for under $300 is tough to beat. Plus, it's stylish to boot and comes in cream, charcoal, and sage. (Drew Barrymore herself selected the sage one in her Small/Cool space she designed for Apartment Therapy!)

Article’s Monterey coffee table packs a sizable, barely there drawer (hello, secret blanket storage) into a minimalist oak frame that looks right at home in any living room. It’s just 36 inches by 24 inches, but you can still maximize the roomy tabletop and lower shelf space.

"The fresh curves on this dining chair’s frame create a unique silhouette that will stand out in any space," says Sebastian Brauer, senior vice president of product design at Crate & Barrel and Crate & Kids. "It’s also very comfortable, with a neutral rounded cushion seat that looks striking against its warm brown ash frame."

Poufs are the ultimate small-space-friendly item — especially Cyrc's Houf, as it can be used as a planter, stool, seat, or table. Made of recycled PLA and 3D printed on demand, it's also super sustainable and available in a bunch of rich hues.

Blending form and function, the aptly named Transformer Table can stretch from a mere 18-inch console size to a 10-foot-long piece that seats 12. Shop this investment-worthy table à la carte, or buy the full dining set with expandable seating. Either way, it's designed to grow with your space.

The brass Curvature Wall Table doubles as a wall-mounted squiggly decor piece and a convenient storage spot — all while taking up less than a foot of vertical space. "It's an elegant statement piece for any room," says Priya Vij, founder of Hapny Home. "It makes a strong visual impact with its sleek design."

"While we designed the Tucker Sherpa bed for kids, I can see the full size being an easy, elegant solution for a small apartment in the city," says designer Jeremiah Brent of this bed collab with Crate & Kids. "The triangular design with the cozy fabric is a juxtaposition that I hadn’t really seen before."
