Bean bags
The tired lump found in the corner of every student flat, that slowly but surely makes its way from a favored relaxing place to a dog’s bed. Bean bags were the height of sophistication in the seventies, temporarily making their way back into favor when Google launched their new “cool” offices.
Now, it’s time to let it go. The chances are you haven’t washed the cover in about 4 years, the beans aren’t as fluffy as they used to be. Essentially you have an understuffed cushion next to the sofa. What you want is a cushioned footstool that you can sit on, and that looks like it belongs in a grownup’s house.
