Modern Space Saving Furniture Just In Time
August 29, 2010 Categories: Decorating
Furniture manufacturers are finally getting the idea. It’s like they suddenly realized that not everyone lives in some huge spacious home with lots of room for extras and plenty of built-in storage. Now they are coming out with lots of great furnishings for smaller homes, items that can offer not only good looks, but also some extra storage or that can handle two jobs at once. This sort of space saving furniture is like a gift to those of us who have been struggling to furnish smaller homes and apartments.
Sofas and chairs are great to sit on. You can actually sleep on most sofas, but it’s a lot more comfy if it’s a pull out or a futon. One of my favorite small space solutions is the fold-open futon with drawers underneath the base. It looks good. The top performs two functions and the bottom gives you storage. That works for me.
Another great intent in space saving furniture design are the tables that only occupy “x” amount of floor space until you open them up. Then you get “xyz” amount of tabletop so that even your friends can take the table, if you have something for them to sit on!
Storage benches come in lots of styles. From the old-fashioned looking wooden “settles” that have a padded bench seat to ottomans that hide a secret compartment for storage beneath tufted leather or suede, your options seem to be growing each day. Each of these gives you a place to sit and a place to store.
Computer desks can save space when they’re made like hutches and fit in a corner. Bookshelves can be modular and convert to fill whatever space is acquirable offering stylish storage options. The list goes on. Modern furniture is all about offering the small home or apartment dweller furnishing options. Hey. It’s about time!
