The AD Darling: The Sunset daybed from Brigette Romanek's collaboration with Crate & Barrel sparked joy for our team, particularly for its substantially cushioned top and scholarly yet discreet storage shelves. "I formed an emotional attachment to this daybed within moments of setting it down," says commerce writer Julia Harrison. "The construction makes it so you can feel sheltered in conversation with someone else or you have a great place to rest your head and lift your feet-even at work."

Although modular sofas have been around for decades, they're really having a moment right now. To help you navigate the wide range of options, we spent months testing modular sofas in our own homes - we lounged, worked, napped, and entertained guests on them. Through wine spills, cat scratches, and hours spent binge-watching TV, we put our couches through the wringer to see how they held up to everyday living.

If you're a renter or someone who's just a little afraid of committing to a big furniture piece, opting for a modular sofa over a traditional sofa is a smart move. Modular furniture is composed of individual pieces that connect together, which makes it incredibly easy to take apart and rearrange. Not only does that make moving easier, but it also gives you tons of options for customizing the perfect configuration for your life (and you can add or remove pieces as necessary).
