How to Use Furniture Transformers in Interior Design: 7 Examples

We have selected seven apartments, each with its own 'trick'. Even on an area of 22 sq. m, you can arrange a full bedroom, living room, and dining room. Take these ideas down for later!

Studio with Kitchen in Cabinet

This studio is only 33 square meters, and finding space for a full kitchen was not possible. Architect Ali Reza Nemati found a solution: he hid the kitchen block behind sliding doors of a cabinet. All furniture and appliances were custom-made, even coming up with a compact extractor hood using 3D printing technology and metal forming.

One-Room Apartment with Office-Dining Table

Designer Ira Nosova came up with a way to turn a mini dining table into an office. The dining table transforms into a workspace: behind the lifting furniture shutters, there's a mini office with a computer, printer, and shelves. The wall above the table was painted with chalk-magnetic paint that can be used for notes.

Studio with Bed in Cabinet and Foldable Dining Table

This studio is 22 square meters, so designer Inessa Teranova had to find functional solutions. The space for a full-size bed was found right away once it was decided to hide it in a cabinet. The dining table folds into an unobtrusive wooden square when needed.

Studio with TV in Cabinet

Since this apartment has only one room, designer Roman Plusnin had to plan for a sleeping area that hides in a cabinet, a dining room, and a living room. A TV was built into one of the cabinets that can be moved aside to watch movies not only from the sofa but also from the bed.

Two-Room Apartment with Dining Room-Living Room

At first glance, there seems to be no space for guests in this apartment: the bar counter fits only two people. However, designers at Bureau 'Common Area' planned every detail: part of the countertop can be lifted to the living room area and set up a dinner for five people. The straight sofa scenario turns into an angular one.

One-Room Apartment with Home Cinema

See how designer Evgenia Ermolaeva hid a mini bedroom with a full-size bed behind a hanging barn door of a cabinet. In its closed state, the structure becomes a home cinema with a projector.

Two-Room Apartment with Invisible Bed

In the designer Maria Puzanova's project, the bed is also hidden but not in a cabinet, rather right in the wall. It was decorated with a fresco to avoid drawing attention to the structure. For convenience, a reading lamp, regular outlets, and USB ports for charging gadgets were built into the bed frame.
