Closet bed
This sleeping area is disguised as a storage system. The well-thought-out design takes up all the space from the floor to the ceiling, so it fits perfectly into a small room, as if merging with the wall.
The lifting (or folding) bed is in a vertical position during the day, and in the evening it smoothly lowers thanks to a reliable system of fasteners and shock absorbers. Perfect for bedrooms combined with a study.
Sofa bed
This is probably the most famous piece of furniture for a room that serves as a living room during the day and turns into a bedroom at night. There are many types of folding sofas with various mechanisms – eurobook, click-clack, accordion, dolphin, recliner – so every owner of a small apartment can choose the most convenient option for themselves.
The only drawback of some models is an uncomfortable mattress. When choosing a transformable sofa, it is recommended to clarify whether it is intended for daily sleeping.
Wardrobe-bed-sofa
Another interesting solution for a bedroom-living room. The structure with cabinets is built into the wall: only a small sofa for guests remains outside. Behind its headboard is a bed frame that covers the shelves of the rack.
At night, it is lowered, the movable legs are placed on the floor as supports, and the sofa turns into a full-fledged sleeping place with a comfortable mattress.
Transforming seats
These small but useful items include folding chairs and benches with lids that can be used to store things.
- Chairs that change their shape can be stored on the wall, loggia, or even in a closet when folded, and taken out when guests arrive.
- Poufs, mini-sofas and benches with lids can serve not only as a seating area, but also as a container for small items – for example, shoes in the hallway or dishes in the kitchen.
Folding dining table
A well-thought-out option for small kitchens. Can serve as a compact console, fold out half or fully.
In addition to modern copies of the heavy Soviet folding table, today they produce many attractive and lightweight designs.
Products on legs are a good solution for those who like to receive a lot of guests, but do not have a spacious dining room: in such cases, the table is simply taken out into the room and folded out. Folding models are not mobile, as they are fixed to the wall.
Pedestal table
An unexpected solution – a pedestal with a pull-out tabletop and wide supports, which turns into a desk. The upper part seems to frame the nightstand without drawing attention to itself, and at the right moment it moves away, transforming into a structure for work or study.
The main advantage is its compactness when folded. The disadvantage is that the table consists of two parts and is only suitable as a temporary option.
Chair-bed
A practical “two-in-one” chair saves space and time. It folds out into a single bed at night, and during the day, when folded, it takes up no more than a square meter.
Manufacturers offer models with a transformable seat or backrest, as well as removable covers for washing and built-in drawers for storing bed linen.
Ideal for small spaces: it can be placed in a child’s room in case you need to stay with the child at night, or in a guest room.
Podium bed
A practical solution for a small apartment is to combine a bed and a podium.
- The first version of a pull-out bed involves saving space due to the gained area: you can place a sofa, a desk with a chair and shelves, or a second mattress on top.
- Another version of the podium, when the bed is on top, allows you to use the lower “tier” and equip it with pull-out drawers for storing things.
Closet-table
If there is no room in the apartment for a separate office or you want to arrange the work corner as concisely as possible, a table-cabinet will come to the rescue. Its convenience is that when folded, it saves space, making the room more spacious and light. After work or study, such a table is either attached back to the wall, hiding small things, or closed and transformed into a cabinet.
Transforming coffee table
A solution for owners of small living rooms who consider the interior incomplete without a table next to the sofa.
- One of the popular models of coffee tables is height-adjustable, transforming from a low structure for storing small items or decor into a table for eating or working on a laptop.
- Another option is tables reminiscent of nesting dolls: they fold into each other when you need to free up space, and move apart when necessary.
Changing its shape and appearance, transforming furniture helps in decorating a small living room, bedroom or kitchen, and makes the interior not only beautiful, but also comfortable.
