Home items that serve double, or even triple, duty appeal to the DIY Consumer's desire for high-value items that have a low impact on the environment. So any time you can find a dual purpose for a normally monotone piece of decor, you’re bound to catch the eye of the modern shopper.
We’ve compiled a list below of some of the unique multi-use pieces and rooms we’ve found online. If you’ve recently come across other multi-purpose rooms, or if you have some cool multi-use items in your home, we’d love to hear about them in the comments below.
Introducing The Office-Closet
Tucking away a home-office in a closet is the perfect way to join form and function.

Plus, since it’s a closet, the office can be neatly hidden just by closing the doors when guests are over.

Home Office // Guest Room
If your home office also doubles as a guest room, a Chaise Lounge is a great multi-functional furniture choice. The Chaise can be used for working and reading during the day, and double as a bed at night for guests.
