If you live in a small space, you know how important furniture choices can be. You may end up sacrificing seating arrangements for table space, leaving you with out seating for guests. Luckily, furniture designers are waking up to the idea that a single piece can have more than one function. Make your furniture as versatile as you are, and get one of these five accent chairs that double as side tables.

2. Moroccan Hammered Stool
To make a splash with your accent chair turned side table, consider this copper option. The hammered metal creates a drum-style piece that’s sure to catch the eye.

3. Blackhill Flora Garden Stool
Built specifically for the garden, this Eastern-inspired ceramic stool can double as a plant stand or patio side table.
