In open concept lofts and small downtown spaces, keeping clutter under control is a necessity. No matter your style, choose furnishings that do double-duty. For classic, uptown tastes, a skinny vertical shelving unit acts as a foyer table and display space for a monochromatic collection. Retro and modern merge for a downtown feel. Here a vintage side table becomes a bookshelf and cocktail cart too.
