We try to make our home as free and comfortable as possible, and the multifunctionality of the environment has already gone beyond the trend and has become a cult for a modern person. In creating such an interior that combines practicality and comfort, transforming furniture helps a lot, when one element can act in different roles, changing functions depending on the situation. In the selection of Novate.ru 11 interesting models that change shape.
1. Wardrobe-desk of the needlewoman
The amazing design of the DreamBox is the perfect solution for the needlewoman. The stylish compact wardrobe does not take up much space, but when you open the doors, it unfolds into a full-fledged workspace with a pull-out table. With DreamBox you can forget about clutter - adjustable open shelves, hooks and rods create an ergonomic storage system where every craft accessory finds its place and is visible, within easy reach.
And upon completion, the Creative Station also easily converts back into a compact cabinet.
2. Rotating TV panel with shelves
When you suspend the TV, it may not fit snugly against the wall due to the bracket. The deviation is small, but the designers decided that even this space can be used wisely. And they found a simple but elegant solution: they turned the hinged panel into a cabinet door. In combination with a curbstone, the element forms a stylish and functional living room suite. The cabinet turned out to be narrow, nevertheless, and narrow shelves will always come in handy for placing some things.
3. Bench table
Usually, transforming furniture is created for enclosed spaces due to the limited area of apartments. The garden area is more spacious, but still, why put two pieces of furniture when you can get by with one that replaces both, like a bench-table? It looks elegant, and it is comfortable to sit on it in the evening, leaning back. And if necessary, with one movement, the bench turns into a table and two benches, behind which six adults can comfortably sit. A convenient and practical solution that creates comfort without cluttering up the space.
Interesting fact from Novate.ru: This model of a bench-table was developed by an English master and presented on the Internet at the end of 2018. He makes no secret of his design and sells a manufacturing manual for $ 25. According to these drawings, a home craftsman who knows how to work with tools will be able to make a transforming bench on his own.
4. Locker-table
The table is such an interesting piece of furniture - it is needed and at the same time gets in the way when not in use. A smart transformation system located on the wall allows you to remove it altogether. When folded, it is an elegant wall cabinet with a graceful grille. When you open it, the door turns into a tabletop, and the decorative element into a supporting part.
5. Pouf: 5 in 1
The same as about tables can be said about stools - they interfere in the house, but they become sharply needed when a crowd of guests rushes into the apartment. In such a situation, the original transforming pouf, easily disassembled into five mini-stools, will help out. After the guests leave, all the elements are also quickly assembled back into a single structure. When folded, the pouf is very compact - ideal for small apartments, and can also be used as a mini-table when adding a countertop.
6. Shelving table
Transforming tables are no longer surprising, but shelving is still an interesting phenomenon. The compact design with shelves transforms into a dining table with a wave of the hand, and also quickly returns to its original state. Moreover, you do not need to clear anything from the table. During the transformation, the shelves do not change their position relative to the horizontal and all objects remain in their places. This is very convenient if some favorite dishes are constantly on the table. The design is offered in two versions: a wall-mounted pendant model and a stand-alone model on casters that can be easily moved to the desired location.
7. Sofa with convertible armrest
Sometimes, to increase the comfort of the furniture, some kind of cool transformation is completely unnecessary. In this model of the sofa, only the armrest is changed, but this solution, ingenious in its simplicity, takes convenience to a new level. Normally, the wooden plank is recessed, but with light pressure it extends and turns into a pivoting stand. Such a detail frees up your hands - there is where to put a cup without getting up from the couch or to place a laptop for watching a movie.
8. Poof bench
Another interesting version of the transforming ottoman is the Scatola model. It is not disassembled into separate elements, but "stretched", becoming longer and longer. The ottoman has a lightweight sliding structure, which is complemented by the seats stored in an inner drawer. The Scatola stretches to different sizes: from two to eight seats and transforms into a long bench.
9. Kitchen - table in a drawer
Tables get in the way even in a relatively spacious living room, what can we say about small kitchens, in which it is difficult to turn so as not to catch on furniture. The Canadian kitchen company AyA has developed an interesting option for such occasions. The designers hid the pull-out table in the drawer of the work cabinet. The unfolding mechanism is very simple, and when the table is not in use, it retracts, freeing up space in the kitchen.
10. Showcase-table
We have already seen folding tables from the cabinet, but this model is especially effective. The dining table "emerges" from a display cabinet with a glass door. It looks beautiful, and the spring system and metal frame make lifting and lowering safe.
11. Sofa bunk bed
There is nothing original in the fold-out sofa - the transformation of upholstered furniture into a sleeping place has long been a common thing. But this is if it unfolds horizontally. But vertical is a really interesting option.
A sofa that transforms into a bunk bed is just a godsend for small apartments: an extra bed appears without losing space.
