No Room on the Couch? Use Storage
Chests and Trunks
By Karen

Decorative throw pillows
and throw blankets are only cute and cozy on the couch when either you're not
sitting on the couch or you're using either item to lean on or wrap around you. Otherwise, they're bulky items that are in the way when you and
your guests actually want to sit on the couch.
But you can keep these
items handy for functional and decorative usage and temporarily rid yourself of
them. Just stash them in a decorative storage trunk or cedar storage chest that does double duty
as your cocktail table.
♦This
Cedar Chest - Storage Trunk
 from Stacks and Stacks
has an oak finish with scored panels and a flip top.
♦Wicker hampers work too for
this purpose and can serve as smaller end tables that you can place, for
instance, between a sofa side and the wall. And if you often have guests who use
the couch as a bed, you can keep a spare set of linens and a pillow clean,
dust-free and handy, but hidden, here. You can find wicker hampers at
Home Decorators Collection .
