Fall in Love With Your Couch Again

By Kate McKenna

I am not afraid to admit I spend a lot of time on my couch. Between working from home full-time (desk? What desk?), bingeing the latest season of Love Island (UK version only, if you know you know), hosting friends or family for drinks and cocktails on the weekend, and trying to make my 6-month-old corgi puppy cuddle me, my couch does it all.With all of the different uses it doubles for, my couch needs a bit of an upgrade to work better for me.

First up: a cup and snack holder that sits right on the arm of the couch to hold a coffee cup, your breakfast plate, and even an iPad if you like to skim the news in the morning. Its utilitarian design also shines during all of those TV and movie nights—it even has a spot for your phone. The bamboo finish fits perfectly into almost any decor style, too. If you've got a petite space and no room for a side table, this $35 tray is for you.

If you're going to work from your couch, you might as well make it comfy—and prevent unnecessary stress on your neck! A laptop desk is a must-have. At $42, this one is easy on the wallet and comes in a really pretty green color (which is great because I seem to be drawn to all things green right now). I love that it has a holder for pens, tablets, and other things you need throughout your work day, and even has four USB ports. I truly will never go back to my desk at this point.

A reading pillow doesn't just have to be used for reading—it's also great for watching TV. This popular reading pillow can be used two different ways, comes in seven different color options, and gives you the back support your couch just isn't.
