short space Transformable furniture
We
have all felt the desire, or need, to manage our living space. Whether
that be wanting to open up more livable area in a small room or create
an understated sense of compact organization, finding functional,
attractive furniture that that doesn’t crowd the room can be tricky.
That said, here are five pieces of space-saving furniture that will open
up your rooms and allow you to look cool at the same time. The extra
functionality may cost a pretty penny, but it’s a small price to way for
maximizing your living area and your piece of mind. After all, hidden
ironing boards only go so far.
Collapsible Dining Table
What
if you could take one of the largest pieces of furniture in your home,
the dining room table, and make it easily movable and collapsible? This
table from Span Black does exactly that. It can seat up to four people —
six if you squeeze — taking up just shy of 5½ feet of space when open.
But once you’ve finished with dinner, the table quickly collapses to a
mere 9½ inches, allowing you to easily store it in a closet, behind the
couch, or along an adjacent wall. And if you pair it with a nice set of
folding chairs, you’ll have yourself an entire dining room set that
breaks down in a matter of seconds.

Hanging Wall Desk/Shelf
Although
there are several different versions of this design, the central idea
remains the same. It’s essentially a small table that hangs on the wall,
one that can be propped up and used as a desk.
While it may lack the built-in storage of many full-sized desks, you
can install a hanging desk at virtually any height, granting you the
perfect elevation whether you’ll be using it while seated or standing.
You can buy pre-made units at various sizes and in different looks too,
meaning you could theoretically use the same concept for tables and
shelving. If you’re feeling crafty, this is also a very easy project,
with numerous how-to guides all over the Internet.


This
modern, simple space-saver has gained popularity over the past few
years for good reason. It combines the functionality of an extra seat
with the aesthetics of minimalist wall art, thus creating a multipurpose
piece designed to serve several functions in the home. The Pick Chair
from Studio Dror looks quite nice, whether it’s on the floor as a chair
or on the wall as a piece of art, reveling in a hinged design that bends
as you place it on the ground. It’s a great fit for any room,
considering there are numerous designs and construction materials
available, though sadly, a single chair can go for an upwards of
$1,600. So, unless you have a healthy amount of cash burning a hole in
your pocket and remain rather fond of hunting for rare artifacts, the
Pick Chair may be more of a cool idea rather than a responsible
purchase. Still, it’s a simple enough piece of furniture that the
discerning DIYer could probably draw some inspiration from it.
Maybe
it isn’t an indoor space you’re working with, but instead a limited
outdoor area. One of the best parts of warm weather is firing up the
grill and cooking outside, but with limited space, finding a small grill
can be tough — especially when it comes time to store it. Even the
smallest charcoal grills will need a dedicated piece of real estate in
your yard. Luckily, this small barbecue
from Focus Creations takes up minimal space in your yard, given it
hangs on your wall and folds up when not in use. Moreover, the
integrated wall plate is designed to prevent the smoke from affecting
you walls, while its sheer size ensures you wont need to refill charcoal
constantly.
