Doing more with less is the decorating challenge of the century, a challenge that none of us can seem to figure out without having to make serious sacrifices.

Next time you feel your space is lacking, think about investing in multi-purpose solutions. Need some inspiration? May we now present the ottoman, the chameleon of the furniture world.
