    27 Home Items That’ll Make Your Space Feel Bigger And Brighter Just In Time For Summer

    Make the most out of every square foot.

    1. A foldable desk so you can literally put work out of sight, out of mind when it's time to meet your friends for drinks on your favorite patio.

    2. A lift-top coffee table that switches to a dining table, which is perfect for small spaces. (Or for those of us who prefer to eat in front of the TV and haven't dined at a proper dining table in ages).

    3. A squiggle mirror with all the right curves to show off all of yours. Full-length mirrors also work wonders in making small spaces feel larger!

    4. A bedroom rug to give your feet a soft, warm place to land every morning. It's the perfect size to fit right next to your bed and the bright neutral is sure to glam your space up extra nicely.

    5. A floating nightstand so you can keep your reading light and phone by your side no matter how tight your bedroom might be. There's even a drawer for things you'd rather keep hidden away.

    6. A console table because no matter the size of your space, you'll want a place to grab your keys and check your fit on the way out the door. Plus, the bottom shelves provide a practical place for storage baskets, shoes, and more.

    9. A foldable kitchen cart so you have extra space to muddle limes, prep burgers, or display your charcuterie skills for your next hosting gig. Plus, it has wheels so you can bring it to outside for patio hangs.

    10. A drink table that is small enough so that on those warm summer nights a margarita is always within reach. Or use it as a pedestal for your favorite oversized tumbler so you always stay hydrated.

    11. A gold hexagon wallpaper roll for creating a real statement behind your bed. You can even use this on smaller pieces like nightstands, bookshelves, and even as a drawer liner.

    13. An extendable dining table that is small-space friendly for everyday use, but can expand with your guest list. Use the included leaf to make the circle and oval for game nights, dinner parties, and more.

    18. And a faux-leather ottoman cover that'll hide those heavy throw blankets you don't need this summer. This cover comes unstuffed, so you get to pick how full it is depending on your storage needs.
