Foldable Furniture & 10 Of The Best Ways To Save Space

A lot of homeowners underestimate how helpful folding furniture may be — mostly because it is associated with outdoors. However, there are plenty of impressive solutions for indoors, too. Here are the most functional examples on foldable furniture and 10 of the best ways to save space in compact homes:

Living room

Boost room functionality with a sofa bed — sure, a living room is not designed for sleeping, but sometimes when the apartment is small, it is simply impossible to organise a spare guest bedroom elsewhere. That is exactly where sofa beds come in handy. Plus, they also offer extra storage.

Organise a compact workstation — a laptop can easily fit into a special wall-fixed workstation that can be folded away when you are not using it. Or, you can a get a coffee table with a lifting surface — it can also be turned into a small workstation quickly and easily.

Make the most out of your recliners — recliners, just like sofa beds, often come with extra storage. Moreover, folding recliners are quite useful for an occasional nap in front of the TV.

Dining room

Get inspiration from bistros — folding bistro-like furniture can become an amazing addition for a small dining room or even a dining room area. There are plenty of indoor solutions that look stylish and have what it takes to create a snug and cosy atmosphere in your dining area.

Give drop-leaf console table a chance — or, if the area is really small, you might want to go with a drop leaf console table convertible into a dining table. This is one of the most space efficient solutions for a dining area in the living room.

Bedroom

Give your storage capacity a boost with a lift-up bed — in a bedroom, one of the best ways to save space with foldable furniture is to go with a lift up bed. Make sure, though, to find a piece that can be easily dropped and lifted.

Kitchen

Invest into folding chairs — a couple of extra folding chairs in the kitchen can come in handy on occasion. They are great next to breakfast table and sometimes even next to kitchen islands.

Fold some of your shelves away — yet another example on folding furniture that can help to save space would to go with foldable kitchen shelves. After all, sometimes a shelf or two remains empty for a time — so, why not hide it away for a while, before you actually need it?

Hallway

Equip your mirror with an ironing board — a very useful addition for a compact hallway, giving you a chance to boost your home functionality without cluttering your precious hallway space.

Make the most out of your dressing area — and, finally, it is always possible to equip your dressing area in the hallway with yet another folding chair. This is a way more comfortable way to put your shoes on, and if you fix a folding chair into the wall, it will not cause any trouble with space.
