Love it! - Stools

Perfect for small or large spaces, stools make great fillers to accompany your larger seating and sit atop drinks, floral arrangements, books or accessories. On the other hand, for smaller spaces they make great substitutes for extra seating that you can pull in and out when expecting extra guests for dinner parties and soirees. Likewise, if you have a space that is lacking in decorative interest, keep your main furniture neutral and add smaller accent pieces, like a stool to spice up the room with a punch of color, a stylish pattern or a unique silhouette!

Love it! - Woven stool

The important thing to remember about good design is diversifying the materials, colors, silhouettes and styles - that's what makes for an interesting setting. Instead of the common ceramic garden stool that we're seeing everywhere, try one of these woven stools in place of - for just a simple side table or stool, these will be quite the fun conversation piece!

Love it! - Rattan ottomans

If you want to break up a sleek space, just add some texture and earthy appeal to ground it. These rattan ottomans from Crate & Barrel are sturdier than they look. Handwoven over a metal frame, you can use them as side tables or extra seating.

Style Story - Adjustable stools

With just a spin of the seat, these stools go from short to tall in seconds. Inspired by antique Draftsman's stools, I love the nod to the industrial era, their functionality and mechanical aesthetic. I've put together a selection from traditional to the modern interpretations. But no matter the design, their useful ability to go from chair to bar height remains the true appeal.

Love it! - Victoria Hagan accent table

You can't go wrong with Victoria Hagan's collection for Target. Hi-design meets low prices, need I say more? This small accent table is best used next to an armchair to sit drinks or a plant, but can also be used as an extra stool when entertaining. Better yet, buy a pair to sit underneath a console table. You can even prime and paint it a bold yellow or red to make a stronger statement. I just love design that's versatile and available to the masses!
