The Multifunctional, Totally Genius Home Items That Make Each Room Work Harder
A kitchen that knows how to brew your morning coffee. A living room that answers random questions on the fly. It’s one thing to feel like your house is your home. It’s quite another when that home understands you on a deeply personal level. The key to making each room industrious is to decorate with well-designed, multifunctional, hardworking pieces that are as efficient as they are beautiful.

If you’re a cook, you probably live in this room. If your partner’s a cook, you probably live in this room. If neither of those things is true, you still probably live in this room. So adding a few items that make reheating, warming, and serving incalculably easier will make living in this room even better. And if possible, even more popular.

The challenge of the bedroom is usually a lack of space, so every item must count. Go for breathable, seasonless linen sheets that get softer with each wash. Keep a compact step stool in the corner for hard-to-reach items, and an indulgent warm wax candle for impromptu evening massages.
