When space is tight, rolling furniture is a great way to make sure that it's easy to move your stuff where you need it, when you need it. Guests are coming over? No problem! It's easy to push wheeled furniture out of the way to make as much space as you need.
Another great thing about rolling furniture is how easy it can be to DIY; in some cases, it can be as simple as slapping a set of casters onto a piece of furniture you already own. Here's some more creative inspiration to help you get the rolling furniture of your dreams!
