Transforming Furniture for Small Apartments

Furniture transformers have become a real salvation for small apartments, as there is still no better way to truly save space. Although in reality, they appeared much earlier than commonly thought. The first beds with drawers were used in noble houses in Germany, and at the same time, trunk dressers were widely used by the English. We will tell you what modern manufacturers offer!

Wall bed sofa

This furniture will help owners of one-room apartments who dream of sleeping in a bed, not on a sofa. Externally, the design looks like a sofa with a wall. In one compartment of the wardrobe, a bed is hidden in a vertical position, in another – compartments and drawers for storing things.

Modern models are designed so that you don’t even need to remove the pillows from the sofa. And the bedding is fastened with special straps, so you don’t need to remove the bedding every morning.

Wardrobe bed

A wardrobe bed is slightly simpler than a transformer sofa, and most importantly, more compact. This is a good choice for small bedrooms or living rooms where there is already a separate seating area. The bed is easy to lift and lower, and in the folded state, it is tightly pressed against the wall and replaces the wardrobe wall.

A full-size double bed can take up to five square meters in a room. The transformer, however, will not take up more space than a regular deep wardrobe. There are two types of designs: vertical ones with niches on the sides or horizontal ones with drawers and shelf-racks.

Transforming dining tables

A transforming dining table solves the problem of visits from guests and family feasts. You don’t need so much space in everyday life, but a massive table can take up almost half of a small apartment. Transformers are quite compact and expand due to a folding mechanism.

You can expand the useful area – the main thing is to choose the right model. Some tables unfold manually, but there are also automatic designs. A convenient option is a combined blind mechanism, where additional surfaces are installed on both sides.

Transforming Coffee Tables

Previously, when you wanted to gather with friends for pizza or board games, you had to move the dining table into the living room. Coffee tables were too small and low until transformer models appeared.

If you have a small studio apartment for one or two people, a transforming coffee table is the perfect choice. For everyday use, a small bar counter combined with a work surface is quite sufficient. And when guests arrive, you can expand the coffee table and skip the bulky dining table altogether.

Podium bed

A podium bed looks stylish and spectacular, perfectly zones the space without vertical partitions, and saves space. Such a modern design immediately refreshes the interior and allows you to do without cabinets. Communications are sewn into the podium, wires and sockets are hidden, drawers and sliding modules are built-in. The most bulky are models with a monolithic base, but they are the most reliable and durable. Wooden or steel frame designs can even be made by hand. And bedding, bedding, seasonal clothing, and other things that constantly take up a lot of space are hidden in podiums with a sliding base.

Cabinet table

Cabinet tables with folding tabletops allow you to organize a full-fledged workplace even in a small apartment. A retractable or folding tabletop is good for a bedroom, a small living room, or a children’s room. There are models combined with wardrobes or built-in dressing tables where cosmetics can be conveniently hidden.

Transforming furniture for kids’ rooms

Undoubtedly, transforming furniture always comes to the rescue of young parents, because it is difficult to strike a balance between functionality and the fact that a child needs space to play and explore the world. In the past, transforming furniture for kids’ rooms ended with modular walls and adjustable height tables, but now there are many more options.

Lift-up beds can be combined with wardrobes and bookcases, chairs can turn into poufs, and writing desks can turn into play tables. Bunk bed designs are very popular, with a sleeping area on top and a work area, wardrobe, or small sports corner below. Modern modular furniture can also be assembled and rearranged to free up space!
