Most vanity stools clock in for a few minutes at the mirror, then sit idle for the rest of the day. The Jeanne Vanity Stool takes on a few side gigs. Its cushioned seat and low backrest keep you comfortable while you get ready. Lift the seat to find a top compartment for everyday items, with a pull-out drawer underneath for extra storage. Hidden castors let you roll it to the bedside, the front door or a reading corner without lifting it. The light wood finish and soft cream cushion look right at home wherever it ends up. One hardworking stool with a very handy side gig.

Your luggage spends more time at home than abroad, often perched on the wardrobe or squeezed into a corner. The Cleo Bed Frame gives it a proper home. Lift the base to find storage that holds about as much as a wardrobe, with four compartments for suitcases, bedding and seasonal clothes. Gas struts and two fabric handles make lifting smooth, and the base opens from the foot of the bed for easy reach. A tall headboard supports your head, shoulders and back when you sit up to read. The sturdy base holds mattresses up to 70kg. Your suitcase, jackets and spare bedding finally have a home between trips.

Ordering bubble tea comes down to two simple choices, and so does the Kyle Standing Office Desk. First, pick your top. The pegboard top pairs a four-position shelf with an all-metal pegboard for hooks and cups. The low shelf top adds a slide-out stand that tilts to hold your phone or tablet. Prefer a clean look? Go with no top at all. Next, set your height anywhere from 72cm to 115cm, with three memory buttons that save your favourite levels. A 62cm deep desktop leaves plenty of room for your laptop and notes. Whichever top you choose, it never gets in the way of sitting or standing.
