Home Hacks: 5 Pieces That Work Twice as Hard

by Natalie Shipley-Younan 28 Sep 2025

In a world where homes are shrinking, rents are rising, andΒ Netflix has replaced the cinema, our furniture has had to get clever. Gone are the days when a coffee table was just a coffee table. Now, every piece is a multitasking hero - storing, transforming, and making us look way more organised than we actually are.

Here are 5 pieces of furniture that deserve an A+ in multitasking (and yes, you’ll find them at Chez Guru).

1.Β Storage Beds: Sleep + Secret Stash

You know that β€œclean” bedroom look that influencers love? Spoiler: half their stuff is shoved under the bed. But why hide when you can glide? A gas lift bed like the Artiss Lumi Gas Lift Bed Frame gives you more than a chic LED-lit vibe - it’s basically a walk-in wardrobe under your mattress.

πŸ‘‰ Fun fact: Studies show we spend 2.5 days a year looking for lost items (keys, socks, chargers). Imagine how much time you’d save if everything had a place under your bed.

2.Β Sofa Beds: The OG Multitasker

It’s Friday night. Your bestie β€œjust popped in” and suddenly they’re three vinos deep. Enter: the sofa bed. No awkward goodbyes, just a quick pull-out and voilΓ , instant guest room.

The Shasa 2-Seater Pull-Out Sofa Bed is the perfect combo of style and surprise functionality. By day, it’s a chic spot for your Netflix marathons. By night, it saves you from being a terrible host.

3.Β Lift-Top Coffee Tables: More Than a Place for Chips

Coffee table? Dining table? Desk? Why not all three. The Artiss Lift-Top Coffee Table is like the Swiss Army knife of living rooms. Lift the top, and suddenly you’re typing away on your laptop (while hiding the mess inside).

πŸ‘‰ Did you know? Australians now spend an average of 6 hours online every day. Having a table that doubles as a desk might be the smartest β€œhack” yet.

4.Β Ottomans: The Triple Threat

Ottomans aren’t just footrests anymore. They’re the secret agents of furniture: seating, storage, and style in one.

Take the Artiss Storage Ottoman Bed Pillow BouclΓ© not only does it give your space that bouclΓ©, Pinterest-worthy look, but it also hides away the clutter (spare blankets, toys, that β€œmaybe I’ll wear it again” jumper).

5.Β Bookshelves That Divide + Conquer

Bookshelves don’t just hold books anymore. They double as room dividers, office backdrops, and decor displays.

The Artiss 5-Tier Rhys Bookshelf is sleek enough for your favourite novels, but sturdy enough to carve out a WFH nook without needing to build a wall.

Final Word: Furniture That Pulls Double Duty

Smart design is all about making the most of your space. Whether it’s a bed that hides your clutter, a coffee table that moonlights as a desk, or a sofa that saves friendships, multitasking furniture is the unsung hero of modern living.
