In a world where appearance seems to be essential, it can be quite hard to find something simple and comfortable that would fit your style. Does it really have to be this way? Luckily, not necessarily if you take a look around. Take clothes and accessories, for instance. There are so many pieces you can find that will make you look good yet stay simple and straightforward in style. All you need is to be creative, and at times be patient. 

Being stylish is independent of your physical appearance, as are the types of accessories you choose, the kind of car you drive, and even the place you choose to live in. Whether it is your own or rented – a house, a condo, or an apartment – people who visit will be interested in your home’s decor and the type of furniture you use. There are some cases where people have a small place and therefore have less to work with. This can be a blessing and a curse at the same time. While it seems easier to maintain a small space, but unlike bigger places where the decisions are about how to use and maximize spaces, small spaces are about saving it. It is much harder to decorate for small spaces, as anything you add may be a waste of space that could be used for something more useful. There are many creative ways to overcome this though.

One is having ideas about maximizing your storage. Another is having furniture that is dual-purpose, and there are many examples of these types of pieces. A futon is a great example of furniture that is not only cheap, but also can function as both a seat and a bed. It can be compared to a sofa bed, but they have their differences. Also, looking at a traditional Japanese futon, you’ll notice that they are quite different compared to Western-styled designs. They are folded up entirely and kept away when not in use. 

Considering all of this, would it be possible for a futon to look nice in your home? The answer is yes, of course. Just look around and you will find different designs that will certainly suit your style. Once you have one, the possibilities are endless when you consider how you will decorate your home and make space for your new space-saving furniture. It could be in the bedroom, which could function as a make-shift office during the day or as a couch for entertaining guests. You could also place a futon in the living room where it could serve as the seat for everyday use, then have it as an extra bed for family and friends when needed.

Many would say that it is not the outward appearance that counts, but rather what is on the inside is what truly matters. It is true. But also, we should remember that how we present ourselves to the public is also important. You can be simple yet classy, and this shows what kind of person you are. We can also show how we took care of our belongings and ourselves. So whether it comes down to how you dress, what kind of car and accessories you choose, or how you decorate your home, just be creative and show the world that you can look great no matter what.
