Arguably one of the best inventions ever made is the foldable dining table. Whether you're hosting a small dinner party or a cozy evening for two, this pick extends so that you can fit up to five people. When not in use, it folds to an island that you can float around and place against a wall. It comes with cabinets for storage, and its own chairs with designated storage spots, too.

When you're looking to economize on space in your at-home office, selecting a functional and stylish desk is a must. However, when it comes to finding the best desk for your small space, what parameters should you be keeping in mind? While design and features are always important, it's the dimensions (particularly the depth) that you should be focusing on most.

"Typically, when people want a complete guest room," Siemer noted, "they want it to feel like an inviting bedroom, not 'we just threw a bed in here in case guests come.' So we always try and do things like dress up the walls, whether it's wallpaper, paint, wainscotting or B board, because that little touch can make a room feel really finished. Even if they have a tighter budget, just painting in a color rather than just the standard builder white can make a difference."

Now's as good a time as any to order a sectional for all those out-of-town guests-and the Koala Black Friday sale is your ticket to space-maxxing even if you're living the one-bedroom life. Hailing from down under, the Australia-based brand is a newer name in the furniture-sphere. Their easy-to-unfold designs (no complicated mechanisms or tools required) transform your sofa from seating to sleeping in minutes.

"A dining table for those that don't have space for a dining table - or need extra seating for the holidays!" Chelsea Alysa wrote in a recent Instagram caption. "This drop-leaf rollaway table has built-in storage for four folding chairs that tuck neatly into your closet when not in use. For me, it's the ideal setup as I prep for my kitchen remodel."

Designed by Cornwall-based Henry Swanzy, the Leandesk borrows its inspiration from sailing and maritime engineering, where strength, efficiency, and flexibility are everything. Its angled frame simply leans against a vertical surface, secured by non-marking rubber grips at the top and bottom. The more weight you put on the tabletop, the tighter the grip becomes. The tabletop is made of FSC-certified bamboo, chosen for both durability and beauty.
