Pottery Barn Has the Smartest 3-in-1 Storage Solution for Tiny Living Rooms (It’s on Sale!)

I live in a small apartment, so when it comes to furniture I always appreciate a hidden functional element. Whether it’s a sofa with removable backrests that turns into a sleeper, or a dining table that folds flat when not in use, I’m always excited when I see an innovative design. I have both a storage ottoman and a lift-top coffee table in my home, but I hadn’t seen a piece that marries both concepts — until recently.

I was browsing Pottery Barn’s sale section when I saw the Turner storage ottoman, which features a hidden pull-out table beneath its lid. I think it’s just brilliant, and if I didn’t already have a coffee table, I’d consider getting something like this. It’s practical and beautiful, and it’s on sale for a limited time. If you have limited space and want an all-in-one furnishing fit for lounging, working, and eating, look no further.

Pottery Barn actually has a few of these pull-out table ottomans, which are designed to match some of its bestselling living room seating collections. The Turner ottoman is the least expensive and has the most minimalist appearance, thanks to its clean lines and boxy silhouette. It’s available in 81 upholstery fabrics, so you can match it to the rest of your living room furniture.

Measuring 42 inches wide and 25 inches deep, the ottoman is roughly the size of a small coffee table and features a top that lifts up and back to reveal a wooden table, which you can also lift up and out. Beneath the table, you have a spacious compartment for storing extra blankets, books, and other items.

You could use this ottoman to either eliminate your need for a coffee table or add it to your living room as a supplement to your coffee table. The first option is great for people who live in especially tiny spaces, like studio apartments. You get extra leg room while you lounge on the sofa; then, when you need a spot to eat dinner or check emails, you can just pull out the tabletop.

Also, because each storage ottoman comes in a bunch of fabrics and has a clean aesthetic, you’ll easily be able to make it work in your space. You definitely don’t need to own a sofa from the same collection in order to do so. The roomy compartment underneath the table surface will help declutter your living room and keep random items hidden from sight.

It’s never a bad idea to get a storage ottoman, but this unique piece takes the concept a step further and makes an already functional piece of furniture that much more necessary. There’s no telling how long the discount will last, so grab your ottoman for less while you can.
