Transforming furniture for small-sized apartments. Bed Transformer - Lifebuoy for a small apartment
Furniture transformer in the interior of a small apartment
If you are a happy owner of very compact, but on the own living area, you probably know what furniture transformer is. After all, the organization of the inner space of a small apartment always implies the fact that everything you need to fit into it and your family. At the same time, there must still be a place for free movement.
Modern designers offer a huge number of ways to solve such problems that we will share today with site visitors about small interiors.
Living room and bedroom organization
In Furniture stores, you can now quietly acquire sets of special furniture gathering and dismantling like a children's designer. It may be, for example, a sofa bed, hidden in a large stand with multiple boxes for things with a working panel. You can also include various deputies, shelves, wardrobes for clothing - in general, everything you need for a comfortable life in.
The last models of sofas can not only move away, turning into a double bed, but also transform into a bunk bed.
Universal sets designed specifically for the younger generation are capable of fit even in the smallest rooms. As a rule, in these models, the bed is on the second tier, and the roomy wardrobe, bookshelves and the desktop are located under it. Such a solution allows you to most effectively use the area intended for housing.
Even the apartment of large size can be made close, if it is notated with it not very necessary interior objects, and even put them wrong. Slipping the same small housing, you need to use every centimeter of available space, which will allow rationally to organize several zones: bedroom, office and living room. It is possible that one or even several such sections will be under the ceiling.
Usually, women arise a problem with the placement of jewelry and jewelry, but designers and here have found a rational solution. They offer to install hooks and small stands on the back of the mirror or paintings that are attached to the wall with the help of loops.
Especially for newlyweds, which are still subject to romance, designers have come up with a comfortable table. It can be easily installed above the bed to serve its second half breakfast in bed. And, since it is very compact, it is easy to place along the wall, while organizing the work area or an additional bedside table.
In order not to clutter the space by wardrobes, some young people prefer to use a hanging hanger for clothes, which is attached to the ceiling.
If two people live on one area, which in the evenings and weekends need an equipped place for study or work, designers advise to organize a spacious zone, sharing one extended table into two halves with the help of bookshelves.
Those who even in a small-sized apartment prefers not to sleep on the sofa, but on a wide bed, you can think about the device under it drawers of different sizes. They can perform the storage feature for things or books.
Little bathroom
In the bathroom, a beautiful floor representative love to store cosmetic products, manicure, a huge number of different gels, shampoos, lotions and other ladies' tricks. In order for the scissors and the pinks to occupy on the shelf, they can be attached to the wall using a magnetic holder.
And on the slope for a small bathroom, glue several pockets of different sizes, in which the washcloths and hygiene products can safely be kept.
Cozy and functional kitchen
Modern kitchen furniture is usually equipped with a multitude of convenient boxes, shelves and hooks that allow substantially saving space.
Also, designers offer a large number of compact devices for drying the washed dishes. They are intended for kitchens, the dimensions of which do not provide for the installation of the dishwasher.
Another useful idea can be called the unfolded dining table with comfortable seats in the form of benches.
An interesting solution can be the installation in the kitchen round wooden panel on the legs. It includes chairs with a seat in the form of a triangle, fully stored under the tabletop.
If you wish to furniture masters, you can order an incredibly functional headset that can fit in one corner of your kitchen.
In the absence of a balcony in the apartment, it usually arises a problem with drying linen. These troubles will be deprived of a compact folding dryer, similar to a miniature ferris wheel.
And those who like best work in the fresh air, a good gift will be a laptop stand that can be attached to the railing of the balcony.
The rational use of each square centimeter is the task of many families. Too many live in small-sized apartments. In this case, the furniture transformer will help. There are different models for different premises: for bedroom, kitchen, hallway, children's, living room. There is no such furniture only in the bathroom or toilet. Yes, and that, probably, will soon appear.
Types and species
Transformed furniture is convenient if the room is small. For small-sized apartments, this is salvation. Another area is if the room is multifunctional. It is also characteristic of apartments with a small square. There is no need for spacious homes or apartments. Is that to organize additional beds with guest visits.
In any embodiment, folded or unfolded - it looks great
Mainly furniture transformer in one subject combines two types of objects. Moreover, most of them are connected to the bedrooms. You can find a wardrobe bed, a bed-bed, a bed-sofa.
By the way, in the case of an example - a bed-sofa - be careful. Do not confuse with our grandmothers from our grandmothers with soft furniture called "Sofa bed". It was not the most comfortable sofa, which was laid out in something resembling a bed (also by the way, not too convenient).
In the current embodiment, these are two different subjects arranged in one. A full-fledged bed with a mattress at daytime rises, depicting a closet and part of the sofa back. Available is a soft seat. It turns out a sofa. But not folding, and so to speak "stationary". Convenience to him, as a rule, give extra pillows. For the night they are cleaned (it can be 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 are still furniture transformer, which is associated with the "appearance" of the table. Moreover, the table may have different purposes:
- to organize an additional (or main) workplace;
- to increase the area of \u200b\u200bthe dining table;
- to increase the working surface in kitchen headsets.
There are also triple transformers. Basically this is a wardrobe bed-sofa or wardrobe bed. From double, they differ only to the fact that the cabinet has large dimensions due to the untransformable part with the shelves.
Furniture Transformer: Pros and Cons
The advantage of furniture transformers is obvious: they occupy less space than two separate items. That's all. Other advantages, actually no. But there are minuses:
In general, everything. If you still want to have furniture-transformer, choose not only the functionality and appearance. Pay attention to the mechanisms. They must be made of good steel, the move should be easy. With the slightest problems when placing or folding, it is better to give up the purchase.
Bed transformer
All built-in bed cabinets are equipped with orthopedic mattresses that are fixed on the frame. Basically, the furniture is a transformer of this type - folding. In one state of the frame raised vertically, its spring or pneumatic holders hold it. It looks like furniture as a wardrobe. In another position, the frame is lowered and relied with legs to the floor. In this case, everything looks like a bed that stands near the cabinet.
When going to buy a lifting transformer bed, keep in mind that it should stand near the carrier wall. Since the design is attached to the wall and it must withstand solid loads. So put such furniture from a weak partition will not work. Is that roll-out models, and they are not so much and they are not so effects.
Wardrobe bed
Different wardrobes on the orientation of the mattress relative to the surface of the cabinet. There are models that are attached to the furniture with a long side, is short. In the first version, the cabinet is wider, its upper part can be used for direct purpose - as sections for storage of things.
This type of transformer wall is suitable for narrow rooms. But only one-bedroom bed can be embedded. This species is also called the "horizontal folding bed" - the long part is located along the horizon.
By the same type, bunk beds are arranged. In them, two separate bedrooms are located one over the other. As a collected form, they look like a closet.
To climb the second tier, put an inlet ladder. That's the main inconvenience. First, it is far unsafe 0 railing is not at all. Secondly, it must be kept somewhere when the beds are folded. In general, there are cons. But there is a huge plus - saving place is very solid.
The advantages of this option is a smaller price. In these models, high power of the lifting device is not required, since the load on the mechanism is not so high. The most budget versions can use springs. Due to this, the cost is reduced.
Transformer furniture: Vertical folding bed is convenient for small apartments
There are still models in which the bed is attached to the wall short part. Such models are sometimes called the "vertical folding bed". This is the price above, since the load on the mechanism responsible for lowering and lifting, considerable. There are already used pneumatic lifts, and they should be good quality. There are even options with automatic drive and control panel.
In this embodiment there are single, one-time and double beds. The more size, 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, to provide the opportunity to remove the mattress for drying / disinfection without any problems.
Walls with built-in beds (transformer wall)
This is an even more solid and expensive type of transforming furniture. Part of the wall - side or central - can move away, opening the vertical bed hidden behind it.
This furniture has no less functionality than the usual wall. Unless it takes more space in the "depth" - so that you can push the cabinet part. But all the shelves are functional in the transformable furniture. Let even they are less depth than could be in the usual closet, but the beds in the daytime are not visible. View - business or official, room can be a living room or dining room. And in the evening, with the lowered bed, turns into a bedroom with a full-fledged bed.
Bed beds
Another transformer bed is hiding under a worker, game or second berth. This option is most often used in nursery. It is safer, since the sleeping place is low that for children it is important.
Pay attention to the photo. To both the bed and the table it was convenient to use, and the table and the bed are put forward. Very reasonable and compact. For small apartments, an excellent option in the nursery.
Another nuance: Box for storing linen under the bed. In principle, this place can be empty. In this case, you can do without a pull-up tabletop, as your legs can be hidden under a folded bed.
Table transformer
No less models of transformable tables. For the living rooms are good transformer magazine tables that are laid out in the dining. A pair of movements and living room turns into a dining room.
Methods of transformation are different, but mostly used lifting and sliding countertops. In the folded state, two parts of the table top are superimposed on the other.
Transformer: Bed Desk
There is also a table-to-transformer table or children's room. In this case, the desktop rises upwards, and the bed is lowered onto a rotary hinge and relies on the legs. The location of the mattress in this case is horizontal, saving space is essential. In addition, the room does not lose the functionality in the afternoon nor at night.
Several lockers from above - for storing books or things lateral cabinets - for storing different trifles
This is a good way to free the area for children's games, organize an extra bed to accommodate guests. Ideal for schoolchildren, suitable for students.
There are more solid in appearance options that can be delivered, for example in a living room or dining room. Again to accommodate a large number of guests.
This furniture transformer can already be called the table-bed cabinet. Since more complex modifications contain more sections with shelves on the side. With a high height of the ceiling can be top, above the bed level, the shelves are made with doors - for storing rarely used things. This option is useful if you do not have, in which the unreasonable things are stored.
For kitchen
There are transformer tables for the kitchen. Some use the same principle as in well-known desktop tables. Some "piece" is added to the main working surface, one way or another fixed on the main countertop.
This furniture transformer is good for one-room small-sized apartments of the old building, where every centimeter on the account. When people are small, it can be folded. If necessary, the area increases.
Some drawn tracks can have a support on the legs, part hangs in the air, leaning on guides
There are still tables with drawn countertops. In this case, it is also necessary to pay attention to the fixation system. It accounts for a considerable load, so there must be a margin of safety. It gives a good metal and a reliable roller system, on which the tabletop is put forward.
Even for the kitchen, the type of metal, which is manufactured by the guides. At a minimum, it should be galvanized metal, but better - stainless steel. As a last resort, for budget models, the powder paint is suitable. It is impossible to say that it is much cheaper than the same galvanized, but gives more options in color.
Transformable sofas
Another type of transformer furniture is sofas. Everyone knows the old model - sofa bed. But it's not about her. This is not too good, albeit a widespread option. There are more interesting.
Bed-sofa
This type of transformer furniture is a fundamental difference from the old model: a full-fledged bed is converted to an equally full and comfortable sofa. The bed in this option is attached vertically, mostly mattresses are one and a half and double.
The principle of action is the same as the closet bed. The sofa is installed in stationary, the bed is fixed with raised and can be covered with a soft cloth into the tone of the sofa upholstery, the role of the backbone is performed. Before laying out, they are cleaned, they lower the bed, which falls on the sofa and rests on the legs extended. The role of the leg can play the shelf (as in the photo above).
There is another kind of such furniture: a wardrobe sofa bed. From the above described above, it is only distinguished by the fact that there are still sections with shelves or cabinets. With a sufficient height of the ceiling, the shelves / lockers can be above the bed.
Sofa bunk bed
For children's rooms, a good option is a sofa, which is transformed into two beds located one above the other. In this model, a complex mechanism is involved, so the cost of such transformer sofas is rather big.
But the model is very comfortable. And the sofa, and the beds are comfortable. Compared to the traditional, the space does not "load", but it saves it no less.
Sofa table
Sofa with table. This option is rather exotic. Not so high its functionality. But as an option of non-standard furniture it is good. The sofa-table has a movable back of the tree (or its substitutes) or plastic. While the transformer furniture is used as upholstered furniture, there are no external differences. If necessary, the back is thrown forward, where rests on the floor.
Sofa table. Can be installed on a veranda - as a place to rest or possible gatherings
As a rule, one transformable sofa has another way to use: folded into bed. An additional empty is put forward from under the seat. That is, it is an option 3 in 1.
Another variant of the transformed sofa is a modular design. This is not exactly what was described earlier. All upholstered furniture is divided into segments that can be shown among themselves in different ways.
As a rule, the sofa itself is sliding or folding. It is installed inpatient, and smaller mobile blocks can move. Often they have videos.
Unusual transformers
There are several transformers that are difficult to attribute to furniture. For example, a shelf that turns into a small table. The ideal option for the passing room, if the stationary table is nowhere to put, and there is only a piece of the wall in the passing place.
Shelves that turn into a table - at least, original
An equally original solution is a picture or mirror that turn into the table. In this case, the tabletop is attached to the wall with a loop. On its back surface (which in the raised state becomes facial) mirroring mirror or picture.
The mirror on the wall becomes ....
The legs are performed in the form of the salary of the frame. When the table is needed, it is folded. When not needed - reinforce on the wall. This is also one of the very good options if the table can only be installed in the passage zone. The ideal solution for some small apartments.
Send the material to you on E-mail
Not always the size of the room allows you to install full-size furniture in it. In this case, the space can be saved on the bedroom. A transforming bed for a small-sized apartment is a great option that allows you to rationally use the space and keep the room in perfect order. This design with light movement of hand turns into a writing desk, a wardrobe, wall or sofa. Such devices will be useful not only in or living room, but also in the children's room, especially if there are several kids in the family.
Modern models of transformers easily take any form

The advantages of such devices are obvious:
- in the children's room, a cot can be transformed into a table for classes or a cheerful chest;
- furniture with transforming mechanism is easily going and disassembled, the whole procedure takes less than a minute;
- the size of transformers is different, you can choose a suitable model for a child and an adult;

Varieties of mechanisms
Furniture-transformer is equipped with swivel-folding mechanisms, each of which has its drawbacks and advantages:
- Retractable mechanism. It is easily easy to manage and security. In models with such a device, there is usually a place to accommodate bed linen.
- Folding mechanism. It is dangerous that when transformation can fall or pinch a hand or leg. Beds fixed to the wall very much save the place in the assembled form and allow you to place the built-in shelves.
In addition, laying mechanisms can be gas lift or spring. Springs are considered longer and reliable due to their simplicity. In the spring there is almost nothing to break. But for the transformation of such devices, you need to make some efforts, so for older people it is not recommended to purchase models with a spring device.
Gas lift devices are not so reliable, but with proper operation, it will last long enough. Furniture with this mechanism is unfolded without effort. The only lack of a gas lift - furniture with it is an order of magnitude more expensive.
Which of the described types of transformers to choose - depends only on the preferences of the owner of the apartment and the possibility of accommodation. But there are some nuances that should be stopped by:
- Frame material. Transformers are performed with a frame of MDF, chipboard, wood or metal. Recently, metal structures that are particularly popular with reliability and durability gained particular popularity. The tree is an eco-friendly material, a little inferior to metal strength. But the chipboard and MDF are unreliable, it is better to abandon this option.
- The quality of the mattress. Typically, the mattress goes one set with furniture, but does not always meet the requirements of the buyer. If you can buy a mattress separately, you need to clarify its dimensions. They must match the size of the bed. Particular attention should be paid to children's mattresses, the posture of the child will depend on the right position in a dream. The best fillers of the mattress are coconut fiber or latex foam.
- Furniture size. The length of the bed must match the growth of man and have a margin of fifteen centimeters. To determine a comfortable width, you need to lie down and put your hands behind the head. If the elbows fit in the size of the bedroom, it is suitable.
- Safety and strength design. These parameters are especially important for the bed in the children's room.
RESULTS
The transformer bed for a small apartment is an excellent opportunity to rationally use the space. A wide range of models allows you to choose furniture suitable in size and design. When purchasing it is worth paying attention to the quality of the folding mechanism and match the bed with physiological parameters.
As the owner of a small apartment, I am always with particular interest to various types of folding furniture. I especially like multifunctional transformers, such as beds turning into cabinets, sofas in writing tables and other similar things. It's nice that designers think about us (or they think globally - about overpopulation?) And create such furniture items that will help the "easy hand movement" in one minute to transform our bedroom 10 sq. M in a living room or an office.
Today I want to show the most interesting samples of folding furniture. Most of the presented transformer beds you can buy in the store TransMeb, in Moscow. We'll see the photos as ideas for inspiration. Perhaps some of them are interested in our men who collect furniture with their own hands.
Transformer: From the bed to the closet
Let's start with a wand-corrosive one-room apartments - a lifting bed. This type of furniture is well known in our country. The lifting mechanism allows you to press the bed to the wall, freeing the free passage. There are many models of such devices, the model is most interestingly looking at the bed (in the assembled state) visually merges with the situation, for example, as in this photo of the teenage boy, it turns into a closet.
Here is another example of a transformer bed, explicitly cheaper. Suitable for a schoolboy room or student in the style of minimalism.
By the way, among the folding single beds there are quite interesting ideas - for example, this is quite cleverly combined under the closed shelf or chest.
I really like transformers for small children's rooms. See what a beautiful and practical option for one child in this photo.
And in this photo we see a bunk bed transformer, a wonderful invention for small apartments. From above there is a shelf for linen.
This room interior with a lifting double bed for adults looks very stylish. It seems even here too much free space, I wonder what caused the need to take exactly such a bed? Most likely, it is a studio apartment.
In overseas sources there is an alternative version of the lifting bed. The bed is not removed to the wall, and on special guides, as on the elevator, rises above the head. For small narrow rooms, the idea is just great! It remains hoping that this design is also reliable.
Transformer: bed-desk
An interesting idea for children's and teenage rooms is a bed combined with a workplace. However, some samples are suitable for adults, for example, such as in the photo below:
There are several options for the design of similar models, remember the yellow bed on the first photo? Its mechanism moves the desktop is not down, but up. And so it looks after the transformation, reviving the interior saturated pink.
Of course, there are folding beds of a similar design and two-bedroom sizes. 
Transformer: Sofa bed
There are transformers that combine bed and sofa. It seems there is nothing unusual here - most sofas can be laid out by providing a bed. In general, I agree, although when the sofa understands the bunk bed - it is impressive.
The remaining transformers, from those that I fell, more banal and in design follow the same idea as the "bed-desk". And yet it seems to me that for our small rooms it is better not to invent, but to buy a normal folding sofa. It will cost it exactly cheaper than the invention!
Useful transformers for small apartments
Tired of beds? I, too ... But I still wanted to tell about other types of similar furniture. I will try to shorter. When I wrote on the topic, then led several options for folding tables. There are a lot of worthy of attention in this area, but I will limit it at two examples today.
I really liked this idea of \u200b\u200bthe drawn table (I found it for a long time, in the Blog's Barley blog), but I did not figure it out how it works. Why, instead of a leg, the facade is used (it seems everything is in place) and as such a long table fit in the closet of a depth of 60 cm for me and remained a mystery. I would be grateful if someone reveals this secret to me.
I would like to mention another wonderful designer invention for small living rooms. This is a combination of a journal and dining table design. I myself have long been looking at this, only the price, in my opinion, in our stores on them too overestimated. Although there are quite decent options in online stores, for example, at prices 2-3 times lower than in ordinary stores.
Create the most spacious, functional and comfortable living space helps innovative furniture transformer. 21 The model for a small-sized apartment is presented in this article with a photo.
