John Gidding's Amazingly Creative Solutions to 2 Common Furniture Challenges

by Lisa Lozano

If you’ve ever lived with another human being (and we guess you have) you’ve probably disagreed over a furniture choice. Design expert John Gidding has creative solutions for two family’s biggest challenges.

No. 1: The Couch

First up, a mother and son pair argue over what kind of couch they’d like to have. Mom wants a traditional couch, where guests can sit and chat, while her son would like an L-shaped couch where he and his friends can sprawl and watch the game. John’s solution? A modular couch that can be moved around depending on the occasion.

No. 2: The Table

Two parents-to-be have been dining on his wobbly bistro table that is held down by a bowling ball, but mommy wants a real dining table in time for their baby’s arrival. John offers up a beautiful wood dining table that has a super easy leaf that can be added when company comes. Perfect!
