Extra seating and tables are never so in demand as during the festive season.
Having dual-purpose furniture cuts down on cluttering a space, so opting for a side table which can double up as a stool is a handy approach.
Homesense’s wooden stool will transform into a table to hold a drink and a book next to a chair for €45.
Go for the triple whammy of stool, side table and Christmas gift with the milking stool, handmade using native Irish timber by the Mindful Maker. It's €250 at Cork Craft & Design.
