Making the most of what you’ve got

March 30th, 2009

Small living spaces can really benefit from space-saving furniture.  From a bathroom sink integrated into the toilet cistern, to a framed picture which doubles as a chair, I came across some pretty impractical designs!  With a bit of research and careful planning, there is no need to sacrifice style for furniture you don’t really love simply because it fits in your place. Look for pieces which are multifunctional, for example a sofa which doubles as a bed or a bed with underneath storage space. Make the most of what you have!

The ‘Puzzle’ seat, below, by Lucyau can be altered to provide three different looks and also folds out in to a bed! I love the modern simplicity- this piece wouldn’t look out of place in any home!

Can you believe that an entire apartment’s worth of furniture is inside this small box, below? Inside is an armoire, a desk, a height-adjustable stool, two more stools, a six-shelf bookcase, and a bed with mattress.  Quite why or when you would need such an item, I’m not too sure.  By Casulo.
