Minimal motifs can help accentuate the stark contrast between open spaces and their furnishings, imbuing a sense of subtle luxury and well-thought-out design. Fuss-free pieces that offer plenty of storage like this nightstand are the perfect way to keep your bedside clutter free.

Sleek Gold-Painted Coffee Table

This coffee table isn’t just for looks, though, as the lower shelf offers sleek functionality. Need a place to keep track of your remote or laptop charger?
