Space Saving Furniture Makes Room for Everything in Your New Home
By Budget Trucks|October 14, 2015
Saving space is a new trend in home designs that you should definitely look into when you decide to move to your next home, or even when redesigning or staging your current home. Space saving furniture designs (often called conversions or transformers) are taking the design world by storm. With many families downsizing to smaller homes because of the real estate market, we are always looking for space. Larger family units are also living in single family homes creating the need for multipurpose rooms or just the need for more space. Whether your home is smaller than you would like or you are just trying to achieve a de-cluttered design look, transforming furniture might be just right for you. Today, we will take a look at 7 clever ideas the design world has come up with to help solve the space issues when it comes to home design.
Kitchen Conversion
When it comes to multipurpose rooms or space saving furniture, murphy beds might be what immediately comes to your mind. This kitchen space saver goes way beyond the creativity and functionality of a murphy bed. It pulls more than its fair share of duty as a prep space, storage space, and sink, eating space and cooking space. This amazing design definitely gives new meaning to the old saying “everything but the kitchen sink”; besides which, it includes the kitchen sink too.

If you were worried about a murphy bed that is an eyesore, that is definitely not a concern with this new style Murphy bed that also doubles as a desk while it is up in the “away” position. As you can see, when it comes down into the bed position, it reveals a beautifully organized and well-designed bookcase. This design definitely emanates style as well as space saving functionality.

This coffee table alone can be a space saver because it is on wheels and therefore portable. Then, when you see how it can turn into a spare bed, it is quite an amazing innovation. As an additional space saving option, you can use the inside of the folded coffee table as storage, if not for extra linens, then other miscellaneous things. Who doesn’t need some extra storage space that is easily accessible right at your fingertips?
