When decorating your home, it’s often possible to get double-duty from some of your decorative items. Although some pieces of art are designed to be purely decorative, there are also a variety of other pieces that serve a functional purpose. Examples of functional and yet beautiful pieces include coat racks, shelves, plant hangers, wall grilles, hooks, wine racks and lighting fixtures, among others. Decorating your home with beautiful and yet functional pieces is a great way to save money, since you won’t need to use as many purely decorative pieces in order to achieve a great overall look. If you’d like to decorate your home while also providing some additional functionality, here are a few great ideas to help get you started.

The modular bookshelves design is the work of Denis Santachiara for Domodinamica. By the way, among other new products by the company are many very creative furniture objects including kids drawing table.
