When arranging furniture in a living room and dining room combo make sure to maximize the space by incorporating dual purpose furniture. Arrange the furniture by defining the functional spaces, use the room’s architectural design to your advantage, and play with the versatility of each piece of furniture.

A functional kitchen typically includes movable furniture that supports everyday activity. Core pieces are a dining or breakfast table, chairs or stools for seating, and a kitchen cart or island for flexible workspace and storage. Additional items like sideboards, shelving units, and benches expand organization and comfort—allowing the kitchen to function as both a cooking and social space.

Turning existing furniture into mudroom furniture is a simple process and can be done with a dresser. Start prepping the dresser by cleaning it, removing any hardware, and sanding the outer finish. Wipe off any residue and paint the dresser – applying a second coat if needed. Finish the project by customizing each drawer of the dresser by adding any labels or décor.

Items that should be stored in entryway furniture include coats, shoes, as well as any outerwear. Scarves and coats can be stored on hooks, while shoes and gloves can be placed in cubbies. Other items that can be stored are purses, backpacks, dog leashes, hats, keys, mail, phones, and spare change.

Clean fabric chairs by steaming or using the vacuum’s upholstery attachment and vacuuming the chair carefully. Be sure to also check the tags of your chair to figure out the most adequate way of cleaning it. Any stains should be removed with a cleaning solution for the type of fabric on your chair.

Start reupholstering a chair by removing the old fabric carefully without ripping any pieces as they will serve as patterns. Then replace any worn batting and make the new pattern pieces by tracing the original pieces. Attach the new fabric to the chair with a staple gun, then make and attach the welting. Finish off by covering back and underside of the chair.
