Small ottomans are easy to move around, serving as footstools or additional seating for guests.
Folding benches and chairs are there for you when you need them! (And can tuck away in storage when you don't)
Maximize your entry -- Use a desk instead of an hall table.
Use wall sconces to free up valuable floor space.
