Floor space is important for whether you’re short on square footage or have a minimalist aesthetic. And multifunctional furniture designs are brilliant when it comes to offering more room, as well as extra bang for your buck. Here, furniture pieces that do the work of two with additional storage, transformative designs and more.
Got a guest over for the night? This sofa by Ikea doubles as a chaise longue and bed — there’s a hidden underframe with an additional cushion that can be pulled out to create a spacious bed.
You’ll also find additional storage space beneath the chaise longue section to stow cushions, blankets or other home items.
This coffee table has a white oak veneer top on one side to hold drinks or food, and is cushioned on the other to act as an ottoman to rest your feet, or as an extra seat.
This chest-of-drawers doesn’t just usher in a dose of retro-chic style into your space, it has a panel that can be flipped down to be used as a table, and reveals a mirror and shelves, too — perfect as a vanity.
No room for an built-in kitchen island? This compact piece is a versatile workhorse that can be used for storage, as a space for food prep or as a bar or coffee cart.
Even better: it comes with wheels so you can stash it in a corner when it’s not in use.
Bring down the front panel of this console and it transforms into a nifty work space with a table top that’s perfect for housing your laptop. Plus, it comes in a pretty sage green hue to keep things upbeat in your space.
You can consider this sofa a jack of all trades; it has storage shelves on one side, a separate ottoman that can moonlight as a chaise longue, and pull-out drawers for extra storage. That’s not all — one of the backrests can even be pulled down as an armrest, and it’s outfitted with cup holders so you won’t even need a coffee or an end table.
Keep your media essentials, books and other small items neatly stowed away in the compartments of this chic end table, which also has a removable tray of sorts for food or decorative items.
Along with working from home comes the WFB experience — that’s “Working From Bed”. Enter the lap desk, which goes beyond breakfast duty, so you can get right to work under the comfort of your quilt.
This one has adjustable leg and a tabletop that can be tilted for a better view of the screen when you’re reclining, and cut-outs that help to dissipate heat from your laptop.
Sometimes, you just need your everyday accessories (or that jacket that would otherwise end up on the back of your chair) within reach, and that’s when this floor mirror with additional stands come in handy. When not in use, the stands can be neatly folded behind the mirror.
Plus, it’s also great for carving out a dressing space in an open-concept room.
