Which amazes with its functionality and does not take up much space. This multifunctional transformable furniture is perfect for any room, even the smallest one.
In a small apartment or room, it is sometimes difficult to place the right amount of furniture so that all the inhabitants of the living space feel cozy and comfortable. Designers have long been trying to solve this problem and make the room spacious, stylish and at the same time as functional as possible.
Now this has become possible, because modern furniture manufacturers offer us wonderful furniture. Such furniture can be not only, this concept includes entire complexes for creating a working and sleeping space in a tiny space.
The Italian collection of children's multifunctional furniture TIRAMOLLA was created using original design, which allows you to unlimitedly arrange the main elements of furniture to organize the space in such a way as to maximize your imagination.
The most striking thing is its originality and design of teenage furniture, which has absolutely everything. Please note that the furniture is arranged so that it is convenient and safe to use.
In the lower tier there is a sofa with a pull-out bed, comfortable computer desk and even a TV can be placed on the wall. On the top tier there is not only sleeping area, on and bedside tables for storing various things. 
WITH outside There is a wardrobe and lots of shelves for books. The complex amazes with its compactness and functionality. And most importantly, it is perfect for two and three children.
Furniture - all in one
Another great option for small room there is an “all in one” wardrobe, inside of which there is a special way, and on top there is again a sleeping place for the child. 
When folded, it is simple, which is slightly wider than standard models. In addition to the fact that this set serves as two beds, it is also a good storage system, as it is very roomy due to its width. The system also has space for a computer, plenty drawers and storage cabinets.
Children school age They will feel great on it, since their safety is guaranteed by the protective restraints of the upper tier.
Bunk furniture for one person
There are also ones made of solid wood; there is a sleeping place on top, under which a cozy corner for studying is formed. Teenagers will like such models; they are quite inexpensive, and if you show a little imagination and paint them, you can good lighting and hang a screening curtain, then the child will have his own corner even in a one-room apartment. 
For example, for those who do not yet have children, or for a teenage child, such transformable furniture is suitable, which on the ground floor includes workplace with compartments for storing documents, books, favorite CDs, and at the top there is a spacious bed, which is reached by a wooden staircase.
For rooms with high ceilings
The sleeping place can be arranged on top of the stairs or front door, if the ceiling height allows, for example in country house, and if you put limiters, you will get a cozy corner for quiet children’s games, one that you won’t see at first glance. 
In a room where two children live, you can install cabinets resembling a window along one wall; they will serve as a storage place for clothes and other things, and in the center you will get two comfortable and low sleeping places. If desired, this option can be made with your own hands, having the appropriate skills and tools. 
Rational use of every square centimeter is the task of many families. Too many people live in small apartments. In this case, transformable furniture will help. There are different models for different rooms: bedroom, kitchen, hallway, children's room, living room. There is no such furniture only in the bathroom or toilet. And that one will probably appear soon.
Types and types
Transformable furniture is convenient if the room area is small. For small apartments this is a salvation. Another area is if the room is multifunctional. This is also typical for apartments with a small area. For spacious houses or apartments this is not necessary. Perhaps for the organization of additional beds when guests visit.
In any version - folded or unfolded - it looks great
Basically, transformable furniture combines two types of objects in one piece. Moreover, most of them are associated with sleeping places. You can find: wardrobe-bed, table-bed, bed-sofa.
By the way, in the case of the example - a sofa bed - be careful. Do not confuse it with the upholstered furniture popular among our grandmothers called “sofa bed”. It was not the most comfortable sofa, which folded out into something resembling a bed (also, by the way, not very comfortable).
In the current version, these are two different objects combined into one. Full bed with mattress daytime rises, representing a wardrobe and part of the back of the sofa. A soft seat is available. It turns out to be a sofa. But not folding, but “stationary”, so to speak. As a rule, additional pillows make it more comfortable. At night they are stowed away (maybe a storage box under the sofa seat) and the bed is lowered. So, as you can see, this is a completely different piece of furniture.
There is also transformable furniture, which is associated with the “appearance” of the table. Moreover, the table itself can have different purposes:
- to organize an additional (or main) workplace;
- to increase the area of the dining table;
- for increase work surface in kitchen units.
There are also triple transformers. Basically it is a wardrobe-bed-sofa or a wardrobe-bed-table. They differ from double cabinets only in that the cabinet is large in size due to the non-transformable part with shelves.
Transformer furniture: pros and cons
The advantage of furniture transformers is obvious: they occupy less space than two separate items. That's all. Actually, there are no other advantages. But there are disadvantages:
In general, that's all. If you still want to have transformable furniture, choose not only functionality and appearance. Pay attention to the mechanisms. They must be made of good steel, the movement must be easy. If you have the slightest problems when unfolding or folding, it is better to refuse the purchase.
Transformable bed
All beds built into the closet are equipped with orthopedic mattresses, which are fixed to the frame. Basically, transformable furniture of this type is folding. In one state, the frame is raised vertically, held in place by spring or pneumatic holders. This furniture looks like a wardrobe. In another position, the frame is lowered and rests its legs on the floor. In this case, everything looks like a bed that stands next to the closet.
When planning to buy a lift-type transforming bed, keep in mind that it should stand near load-bearing wall. Since the structure is attached to the wall, it must withstand heavy loads. So it won’t be possible to place such furniture next to a weak partition. Maybe roll-out models, but there aren’t many of them and they don’t have the same effects.
Wardrobe bed
Wardrobe beds differ in the orientation of the mattress relative to the surface of the cabinet. There are models that are attached to furniture with the long side, and others with the short side. In the first option, the cabinet turns out to be wider, it top part can be used for its intended purpose - as a section for storing things.
This type of transformable wall is suitable for narrow rooms. But only a single or one-and-a-half bed can be built in. This type is also called “horizontal” folding bed"—the long part is located along the horizon.
The same type is used for bunk wardrobe beds. They have two separate beds located one above the other. When assembled, they look like a cabinet.
To climb to the second tier, install an additional ladder. This is the main inconvenience. Firstly, it is far from safe; there are no railings at all. Secondly, it needs to be kept somewhere while the beds are folded. In general, there are disadvantages. But there is also a huge plus - the space savings are very significant.
The advantage of this option is lower price. These models do not require large lifting power, since the load on the mechanism is not so high. In the most budget options can use springs. Due to this, the cost is reduced.
Transformable furniture: vertical folding bed is convenient for small apartments
There are also models in which the bed is attached to the wall with a short part. Such models are sometimes called “vertical folding beds”. Here the price is higher, since the load on the mechanism responsible for lowering and raising is considerable. Pneumatic lifts are already used here, and they should be good quality. There are even options with automatic drive and remote control.
IN this option There are single, single and double beds. How larger size, all the more attention should be paid to the lift. You should also check the mattress fixation system. It should be reliable, but at the same time, provide the ability to remove the mattress for drying/disinfection without any problems.
Walls with built-in beds (transformable wall)
This is an even more solid and expensive type of transformable furniture. Part of the wall - side or central - can move away, revealing a vertical bed hidden behind it.
This furniture has no less functionality than a regular wall. Unless it requires more space along the “depth” - so that part of the cabinet can be moved aside. But all the shelves are functional, which is rare in transformable furniture. Even if they are less deep than they could be in a regular closet, the bed is not visible during the daytime. The view is business or official, the room can be a living room or dining room. And in the evening, with the bed lowered, it turns into a bedroom with a full bed.
Roll-out beds
Another transforming bed is hidden under a work, play or second bed. This option is most often used in children's rooms. It is safer because the sleeping place is low, which is important for children.
Pay attention to the photo. To make it convenient to use both the bed and the table, both the table and the bed can be pulled out. Very smart and compact. For small apartments - great option to the nursery.
Another nuance: a drawer for storing linen under the bed. In principle, this place may be empty. In this case, you can do without a retractable tabletop, since the legs can be hidden under the folded bed.
Table transformer
Not at all fewer models transformable tables. For living rooms, transformable coffee tables that fold out into a dining room are good. A couple of moves and the living room turns into a dining room.
Transformation methods are different, but mainly lifting and sliding tabletops are used. When folded, the two parts of the tabletop overlap one another.
Transformer: bed-table
There is also a transformable table for a bedroom or children's room. In this case, the desktop rises up, and the berth is lowered on a rotary hinge and rests on the legs. The location of the mattress in this case is horizontal, saving space is significant. In addition, the room does not lose functionality either day or night.
Several cabinets on top - for storing books or things Side cabinets - for storing various small items
This is a good way to free up space for games in the nursery and organize an additional sleeping area to accommodate guests. Ideal for schoolchildren, also suitable for students.
There are also more solid-looking options that can be placed, for example, in the living room or dining room. Again for placement large quantity guests.
This transformable furniture can already be called a table-bed-wardrobe. Since more complex modifications also contain sections with shelves on the side. At high altitude The ceiling can be on top, above the bed level, and shelves with doors can be made to store rarely used items. This option is useful if you don’t have one in which out-of-season items are stored.
For kitchen
There are transformable tables for the kitchen. Some use the same principle as the famous book tables. A certain “piece” is added to the main working surface, fixed in one way or another to the main tabletop.
This transformable furniture is good for one-room small apartments old building, where every centimeter counts. When there are few people, it can be folded. If necessary, the area is increased.
Some retractable tabletops may be supported by legs, while others hang in the air, supported by guides
There are also tables with extendable tops. In this case, you also need to pay attention to the fixation system. It bears a considerable load, so there must be a margin of safety. Gives it good metal and a reliable system of rollers on which the tabletop extends.
The type of metal used to make the guides is also important for the kitchen. At a minimum, it should be galvanized metal, but better - stainless steel. As a last resort, for budget models, powder coating is suitable. It cannot be said that it is much cheaper than the same galvanization, but it gives more options by color.
Transformable sofas
Another type of transformable furniture is sofas. Everyone knows the old model - the sofa bed. But we're talking about not about her. This is not a very good option, although it is widespread. There are more interesting ones.
Sofa bed
This type of transformable furniture is fundamentally different from old model: a full-fledged bed is converted into an equally full-fledged and comfortable sofa. The bed in this version is mounted vertically, mostly single and double mattresses.
The principle of operation is the same as that of the wardrobe-bed. The sofa is installed permanently, the bed is fixed raised and can be upholstered soft cloth to match the sofa upholstery, the role of the backrest is played by pillows. Before unfolding, they are removed, the bed is lowered, which lies on the sofa and rests on retractable legs. A shelf can play the role of a leg (as in the photo above).
There is another type of such furniture: a wardrobe-sofa-bed. It differs from the one described above only in that more sections with shelves or cabinets are attached next to it. If the ceiling height is sufficient, shelves/cabinets can be located above the bed.
Sofa bunk bed
For children's rooms, a good option is a sofa that transforms into two beds, located one above the other. This model involves a complex mechanism, so the cost of such transforming sofas is quite high.
But the model is very convenient. Both the sofa and the beds are comfortable. Compared to the traditional one, it does not “load” space as much, but saves it no less.
Sofa table
Sofa with table. This option is rather exotic. Its functionality is not so high. But as an option for non-standard furniture it is good. The sofa table has a movable back made of wood (or its substitutes) or plastic. While transformer furniture is used as cushioned furniture, external differences No. If necessary, the back rests forward, where it rests on the floor.
Sofa table. Can be installed on the veranda - as a place for relaxation or possible gatherings
As a rule, such a transformable sofa has one more way of use: it converts into a bed. An additional ottoman extends from under the seat. That is, this is a 3 in 1 option.
Another option for a transformable sofa is modular design. This is not exactly what was described before. All upholstered furniture is divided into segments that can fit together in different ways.
As a rule, the sofa itself is extendable or folding. It is installed permanently, and smaller mobile units can be moved. They often have casters.
Unusual Transformers
There are several transformers that are difficult to classify as furniture. For example, a shelf that turns into small table. An ideal option for a walk-through room if there is nowhere to put a stationary table, but there is only a piece of wall in a walk-through area.
Shelves that turn into a table - at least original
No less original solution- a picture or mirror that turns into a table. IN in this case The tabletop is attached to the wall using hinges. A mirror or picture is attached to its back surface (which becomes the front surface when raised).
A mirror on the wall becomes... a table
The legs are made in the form of a frame frame. When the table is needed, it is folded back. When not needed, they are attached to the wall again. This is also one of the very good options if the table can only be installed in a walk-through area. An ideal solution for some small apartments.

It would be strange if the furniture was so unusual design did not automatically become the central element of the interior. The space furnished by her always looks modern, fresh and laconic.
Combinations of functions of one item can be the most daring. It is clear that the computer desk, smoothly flowing into bookshelf, is not particularly surprising. But can the same be said about soft sofa with a pull-out coffee table?
To fully appreciate the benefits of multifunctional and transformable furniture, it is worth paying attention to even the most modest, purely utilitarian items. A flip table that turns into a serving tray with handles, and a rocking chair with a clothes hanger can really make life easier and more comfortable.

- This bed does not have joints that are formed when unfolding the sofa
- design basis - metal carcass and lamellas (they enhance the orthopedic effect), on which the orthopedic mattress– in total this provides healthy sleep without unnecessary stress on the spine
- no need for additional linen drawer– it is secured with special straps and stowed away inside the closet, so that in the evening you don’t even have to remake the bed.
The built-in folding bed can be either single, and full double. At the same time, double beds, which are quite bulky, are equipped with a vertical folding mechanism, but single beds are equipped with a horizontal folding mechanism, which makes it possible to place various shelves or decorative elements above the niche.

However, this vertical kitchen is even more equipped, with a small space for growing herbs, solar panels, storage space, and a dining surface with seating for six.
Chair-stove
If you live in a fairly modest-sized apartment, try using a versatile slab chair. Such a piece of furniture will serve both for cooking and relaxation at the same time.
