Space-saving furniture: characteristics and peculiarities

Space-saving transformable furniture represents a decisive opportunity in small houses, generally combining two or more functions in a single element, saving precious centimetres in your rooms.

Convertible furniture is usually placed in the context of the living area and bedroom: the furniture that compose them tend to be declined in colours and finishes decidedly simple and sober, so as to adapt easily to any context of furnishing style.

A classic example of multifunctional furniture is represented by the bed that integrates the study area, or by the wall unit that becomes a desk or by the pouf that hides the bed or the armchair. Another typical example of these convertible solutions is the classic folding table, which aligns perfectly with the wall. Each multifunctional and transformable solution is able to stand out for its ability to respond simultaneously to two or more needs and functions, in the space of a single piece of furniture. This is the great advantage of convertible furniture.

Convertible furniture: materials and mechanisms

What are the materials and mechanisms that make up convertible furniture? Convertible furniture is almost always made with the help of extremely simple materials and mechanisms that are safe, functional and effective at the same time, in order to fulfil several functions. Obviously, the stylistic simplicity of these furnishings does not affect their appeal from a purely aesthetic point of view.

How to furnish a small house with multifunctional convertible furniture

Furnishing a room, regardless of its size and structural characteristics, is an operation that always requires great skill and a strong dose of imagination and creativity. If you find yourself having to furnish a particularly small room, in these circumstances it will be essential to be able to optimise the space available.

Optimising space is now a very common requirement, especially in one- and two-room flats in large Italian cities. Nowadays, unfortunately, there is a tendency to reduce space to a minimum: in these circumstances, imagination and creativity play a fundamental role in interior design.

But let's not forget that a small house also offers countless advantages. Low heating and electricity costs and extremely fast cleaning and tidying up. However, these advantages can only be appreciated in the context of a functionally and effectively furnished environment. In this respect, multifunctional furniture is a great opportunity to create a well-balanced environment in which space is used and optimised in the best possible way.

If in particular your home is a small studio apartment, in this case the decision to prefer the purchase and preparation of convertible furniture becomes even more strategic and interesting. In these circumstances, you will have to think about transformable furniture that allows you to have a configuration for the day, with a sofa and a kitchen table, but that at the same time allows you to create a room with the addition of a bed. In this furnishing context, the solution of a piece of furniture whose folding mechanism allows it to introduce a bed into the room is very popular.

In two-room flats, the bedroom represents an environment in which space-saving ideas will be able to solve many problems, guaranteeing great functionality. When the family grows, it is possible to use folding beds: these furnishings can be transformed into a small study area as the child grows up and becomes a teenager.

Regardless of the configuration of your space and the style you want to create, our advice is to never skimp on quality when choosing convertible furniture. Their mechanisms must be able to function perfectly and be simple and durable.
