Bean bags get a bad rep and some even find them tacky. However, if done right, bean bags can also look good in a room and the trick is to opt for solid colors and an understated look. Take for instance the Elite Omega Faux Suede Bean Bag, which has the trappings of all great lounger chairs and will look good in any space. Upholstered in faux suede, the bean bag includes head rest, side pocket and even ergonomic support. The Elite Omega Faux Suede Bean Bag is available on Staples for $139.00.

Otherwise, it’d still make a great table for your kid’s room.

UPDATE: It seems like it actually DOES work, woo hoo!  This is the most awesome music table ever!

Did you have one of those fun, little toy xylophones when you were young? Well, we sure did. In fact, we liked it so much we decided to turn it into a totally unique coffee table, perfect for the music lover in your life. And we know what you’re wondering, and the answer is yes, it really does work. That is, if you want to play Mary Had a Little Lamb a few hundred times. But more importantly, it would look great in any room.

For people who feel uncomfortable with their bed, here is a little device that can push you towards adjusting your sleeping posture. The Mattress Genie by Contour Products can transform your mattress into an adjustable bed for a fraction of the cost of a mechanical adjustable bed. With just the touch of a button, you can raise your bed to the angle that best suits your needs. You’ll love reading, watching TV, working or even eating in bed.

The beauty of Mattress Genie lies in its simple, yet effective three-component design. The maintenance-free pump is controlled by a two-stage turbine design to give extraordinary lifting power and long-term reliability. It uses electricity to pump air into the lift chamber. The lift chamber is made of a thick, durable polymer with double welded seams that prevent air from escaping. It’s so strong that it can easily raise as much as 500 pounds.

As the lift chamber fills with air, it gently flexes your mattress and the head of your bed is raised to the desired level. The wand control illuminates for nighttime use and allows you to operate the Mattress Genie from the palm of your hand. Press the up button and the Mattress Genie’s lift chamber will raise your bed up to 26 inches. Press the down button to lower, or choose “flat” to quickly and completely flatten your bed.

Looks can be deceiving and even the usual places we see, like a wooden chair for instance, can really become sophisticated if you look at it. We all want to have some secret hiding place and this deceiving design from a seemingly normal chair from Moheli is a good piece of furniture to have especially if you want to hide something precious to you.

It would be best to keep hidden light things since if you put heavier items, you may have trouble carrying this chair if you want to move it to a different place in the room. Now that will really spoil the twist in them.
