Our pilots make every effort to deliver on schedule, but unforeseen circumstances can introduce delays - not limited to undetected black holes, pods of space whales, and existential panic in our workforce when faced with the endless night sky and the sudden certainty that they are a meaningless mote in a timeless, uncaring void. We're working hard on resolving these issues. Meanwhile, read HERE about our wormhole delivery service, coming soon to a system near you.

Ferm Living's Bridge system is one part coat rack, one part display piece for your most-worn pieces. Built for versatility, the slim oak beams provide two tiers of storage space, whether you need room for hangers or just a place to hang your hat at the end of the day. It's nearly five feet high, meaning none of your beloved coats will sweep the floor. Its vertical branches would also make sense as a place to display fabrics or hang towels to dry.

The IKEA KALLAX has been a fixture in every apartment I've had since college. I love it for its simple design and impressive storage capacity, which make it versatile for any room - bedroom, living room, closet, you name it. I thought I was familiar with every color and style of the KALLAX, but I was wrong. I recently stumbled upon a dark, jewel-toned version that stands out because it swaps the classic uniform cubes for shelves of varying heights,

Wood: Arguably the most common material for a coffee table, whether packed with storage or not, solid wood can be a durable and style-agnostic choice. A deeper hue, like a mahogany or cherry, can lean mid-century, while a natural oak or teak feels distinctly Scandinavian. Opt for a material that's white washed or stained for a farmhouse look. Metal: Aluminum and stainless steel are common choices for the modernist or more minimal design aesthete.

Living in a pre-war apartment comes with equal amounts of charm and challenges. Original moldings; thick, sound-proof walls; and hardwood floors? Charming! Outdated plumbing, a minuscule kitchen, and an even smaller bathroom? Pretty challenging, let me tell you. Although I'm reluctant to do major changes to the bathroom so I can preserve the original tile, I'm anxious to ditch the pedestal sink because of its extreme lack of storage.

"You don't need to have a playroom and can make a great play space within another space but still keep it in keeping with your decor," she says.

I measured the wall space I wanted to hang the shelves on and selected the parts that fit the dimensions I needed-though the options are vast. The system was super easy to install and can hold my entire book collection over the top of my bed. (There are probably more than 200 pounds hanging in the white space over my head, which is scary, but the system is strong!)

My spouse and I have lived in our house for five years, and in that time, we've basically played Jenga in nearly every room. It's almost like a design challenge to see how many spaces can serve dual functions: Can we make this room into a gym? What about a gym/office? What about a guest room/office? Right now, we are transforming our office/gym into an office/guest room (the Peloton now lives in the makeshift sunroom downstairs).
