Space Lift

Hosting a holiday gathering can be stressful. So take comfort in knowing that you can make your space more inviting by adding a few pieces of small, moveable furniture from Metro Home. Here are three fun staples to make your home jollier.

Bar cart

Be the star of any party with The Uptown Bar ($1,259) by Elite Modern. "[Bar carts] went away in the '60s," says Michael Rogoff, owner of Metro Home. "They're coming back because people with small spaces aren't putting in built-in bars anymore."

Ottoman

Avoid having your fete be standing room with a metallic or porcelain ottoman such as the Buddha Garden Stool ($96) from New Pacific Direct. "It's a little, small accent that can fit a lot of places," says design manager Christopher Iannaccone. "They're great pieces for entertaining and for a conversation piece."

Sleeper sofa

Give your out-of-town guests a great night's sleep with the Unfurl Sleeper Sofa ($1,230) by Per Weiss for Innovation USA. "We encourage people to literally sit on it as a sofa," says Rogoff. "Then go ahead, fold it out and lay down on it as a bed."
