Upgrade Your Home With These Furniture Swaps
Out with the old and in with the new—it's time to upgrade some of that furniture you just can't seem to part with.
A home may not be forever, but it's important to make whatever time you spend there comfortable and actually work for you.
With that being said, it can be hard to invest in pieces that do just that—it's worked this long, why the need for change? But ask yourself if your old futon is really working as a guest bed or if your DIY desk is really helping your work-from-home life. If there's any hesitation, it's time for an upgrade.
Here's what we suggest:
1. Swap your old futon for a nice couch
Make your space more inviting by purchasing a beautiful couch for your living room. If you have the area, consider getting an L-couch to accommodate more people and make your gatherings cozier.
These are our favourite sofas for every type of room.

2. Set up a proper WFH office
Have you been working at your dining table for the past four years? It's time to get a proper desk and an ergonomic chair to save your posture from the hours spent sitting down.

3. Out with the old mattress
If you feel like you're constantly sleeping in a dent, then perhaps it's time to invest in a high-quality mattress. Proper sleep is important for your overall health; you can't get that without a comfortable bed.
Is it time to change your mattress? These are five signs that it is.
4. Get a real full-length mirror
We know how hard it is to get dressed without a full-length mirror, so why not save yourself the trouble? Get a head-to-toe full-length mirror (not one of those that hang on the back of your door) to make getting ready easier and create an illusion of more space in your home.

5. Invest in a nice coffee table
Stop setting your cups and books on the floor! Invest in a beautiful coffee table to elevate your space and make your decor more cohesive.
