Furniture is both functional and stylish; many different types of furniture are available, yet most people tend to end up with the same items. This is largely due to their usefulness and availability. However, there are some great alternative pieces of furniture you might not realise even exist. Here are some examples of furniture you didn't know you needed in your life. 

Massage chair

When you get home at the end of a hard day's work, you might think there is nothing better than relaxing on a big comfortable sofa and watching TV whilst drinking your favourite drink. Here’s where you’re wrong; if you’ve never used or experienced a massage chair before, this is your sign to try one today. You can buy a wide variety of massage chairs that fit seamlessly into your current home design. They’re incredibly relaxing and soothing for worn-out muscles and joints. Once you get a massage chair, you will wonder how you ever lived without one.

Bed with built-in TV

If you enjoy relaxing and watching TV in bed, a bed with a built-in TV is a great idea. It's not only functional, but when the TV isn’t in use, it cleverly fits back into the bed frame and is hidden from sight. So your bedroom can look stylish as well as provide you with the comfort and entertainment you desire. Some TV beds also have built-in speakers to enhance the experience even further. These beds are ideal for compact bedrooms that don’t have the space for a TV cabinet or those that are renting and don’t want to mount a TV onto the wall and potentially cause damage. 

Smart sofa 

A smart sofa can improve your comfort and experience when you’re at home relaxing alone or entertaining guests. These sofas integrate the latest technology with a luxury sofa's classic comfort and design. They include innovative features such as cooling cup holders, Bluetooth speakers fitted into the sofas and adjustable headrests so you can find the most comfortable position for relaxing. In addition, some smart sofas have features that allow you to charge your phone using a cable and wirelessly, as well as sliding drawers to keep your tech and belongings safe and secure when not in use. 

Blanket box

Blanket boxes might seem like a standard piece of furniture that most people would expect to see at the foot of the bed in older properties. However, oak blanket boxes are incredibly useful and can be placed in almost any room to provide storage and seating. Try placing a blanket box under a window and covering it with a soft padding cover, creating a stylish, practical and comfortable place to look out the window and read your favourite book. Or perhaps your hallway is overflowing with shoes making it look untidy, a blanket box is a quick and easy way to hide away shoes, and it also creates a bench on top that you can sit on when you’re putting on your shoes.

Fitted wardrobes

Fitted wardrobes are another furniture item that’s often overlooked and associated with dated houses. However, many modern businesses create fitted wardrobes that suit every style of home. They can maximise your storage space and provide a better way to organise your clothes and belongings. Once you have installed fitted wardrobes into your property, you will wonder how you ever coped with insufficient free-standing closet space. 

Extendable table

Many families and households enjoy having guests over for dinner at Christmas and throughout the year. However, they also want space in their kitchen or dining room to do other things and enjoy the area when there are fewer people in their home. An extended dining room table is a great solution that enables families to cater to more people when needed but also allows them to save space daily. There are many excellent options when it comes to extending dining tables. You can choose between glass, wood, metal and plastic material options, so there is a solution that fits in with every unique home design. Extendable dining tables also come in many different shapes, including round, square, rectangular and even some more unusual shape options.
