When most people think of furniture for their home, they think of stuff that is readily available at a store like Ikea. But, with just a little bit of searching, one can find very unique furniture items that will make a home very unique and interesting, for both the people who live in it and for guests who are wowed when they come over. So, let’s look at some of these unusual furniture items you can consider. 

Expandable tables

Expandable tables are both unique and very functional. And, they save a lot of space. When you think of it, tables aren’t really used that much. Why have a large table permanently take up a lot of otherwise valuable living space. With expandable tables, you often have a full-sized table that expands within seconds. Sure, it will take a little bit of effort to set it up. But, expanding it can be a neat little party trick you can do to impress your guests!

Swivel chairs

Kids, adults and even pets love swivel chairs. Why? Because they are super comfortable to sit on and more importantly, fun to sit on. Take for example these swivel chairs for the living room. They are large enough to qualify as a lovechair but very comfortable for one person as well. Because they swivel around, you can put it in a place that would normally be inconvenient for a chair as it will point the right direction. With no fixed direction, a swivel chair offers a lot of one-demand flexibility. 

Staircase storage

Yes, this is a thing. A staircase storage is a set of stair like cabinets that make excellent use of a small vertical space. You don’t need a ladder to get to the top shelf either. Use the lower shelves as a star to get to the top! If you are tight on storage space, these are excellent furniture items to consider. Just make sure that you buy something that is sturdy and strong as the last thing you want is to be toppling over when storing your linens away!

Themed beds for kids

Have a daughter who is into princesses and fairy tales? There are princess castle beds, even with slides! For boys, there are race car beds, sports themed beds or superhero inspired beds. Of late, there are a lot of gender neutral themed beds as well. These furniture items are a fun way to get your kids interested in sleeptime, something they almost always want to resist.

Modular shelves

Every home is different when it comes to shelf needs. Some want minimalism. Some want a whole lot of shelf space. Some want it deep, Some shallow. If you want to customize your shelving needs, it is best that you go for modular shelves like what this company called String Furniture offers.
