Furniture transformers for small apartments. Transformers in our house
As an owner small apartment I have always been particularly interested in various types folding furniture. I especially like multifunctional transformers, for example, beds that turn into wardrobes, sofas into desks and other similar things. It's nice that designers think about us (or do they think globally - about overpopulation?) and create such pieces of furniture that will help to transform our 10 sq.m bedroom into a living room or study in one minute with a “light movement of the hand”.
Today I want to show the most interesting examples of folding furniture. You can buy most of the transformer beds presented at the TRANSMEB store in Moscow. Let's look at the photos for inspiration. Perhaps some of them will be of interest to our men who assemble furniture with their own hands.
Transformer: from bed to closet
Let's start with the lifesaver of one-room apartments - lifting bed. This type of furniture is well known in our country. The lifting mechanism allows you to press the bed against the wall, freeing up free passage. There are many models of such devices, the most interesting models look when the bed (in the assembled state) visually merges with the situation, for example, as in this photo of a teenage boy's room it turns into a closet.
Here is another example of a transforming bed, obviously cheaper. Suitable for a student's or student's room in a minimalist style.
By the way, among folding single beds there are quite interesting ideas- for example, this one is quite cleverly camouflaged under a closed shelf or chest of drawers.
I really like transforming beds for small children's rooms. Look how 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. There is a linen shelf on top.
This room interior with a pull-out double bed for adults looks very stylish. It seems there is even too much free space here, I wonder what caused the need to take just such a bed? Most likely, this is a studio apartment.
In foreign sources, there is an alternative version of a lifting bed. The bed is not removed to the wall, but on special rails, like in an elevator, it rises above your head. For little ones narrow rooms the idea is just great! It remains to be hoped that this design is also reliable.
Transformer: bed-desk
An interesting idea for children's and teen rooms is a bed combined with a workplace. However, some samples are also suitable for adults, for example, such as in the photo below:
There are several design options for such models, remember the yellow bed in the very first photo? Its mechanism moves the desktop not down, but up. And this is how it looks after the transformation, enlivening the interior with rich pink.
Of course, there are folding beds of a similar design and double sizes. 
Transformer: sofa bed
There are transformers that combine a bed and a sofa. It seems that there is nothing unusual here - most sofas can be laid out, providing sleeping place. In general, I agree, although when the sofa is disassembled into a bunk bed, it's impressive.
The rest of the transformers that I came across are more commonplace and follow the same idea as the “bed-desktop” in design. 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 definitely cost less than such an invention!
Useful transformers for small apartments
Tired of beds? Me too... But I also wanted to tell you about other types of similar furniture. I'll try to be shorter. When I wrote on the topic, I gave several options folding tables. There are many noteworthy ideas in this area, but for today I will limit myself to two examples.
I really liked this idea of a sliding table (I found it a long time ago, on the blog of an overseas young lady), but I never figured out how it works. Why a facade is used instead of a leg (everything seems to be in place) and how such a long table fits into a cabinet 60 cm deep has remained a mystery to me. I would be grateful if someone could reveal this secret to me.
I would like to mention another wonderful design invention for small living rooms. This is a combination in one design of a magazine and dining table. I myself have been looking at this for a long time, only the price, in my opinion, in our stores for them is too high. Although there are quite decent options in online stores, for example, at prices 2-3 times lower than in regular stores.
Wanting to get a spacious kitchen, bedroom and living room in a small apartment, it is not necessary to engage in redevelopment. Choosing for yourself multifunctional furniture-transformer, you can significantly increase the functionality of your premises. Such furniture will also decorate your interior.
Converting a living room into a bedroom and back
The desire to sleep on an orthopedic mattress is not always dictated by a whim, sometimes it is a necessity. Previously, all this was easily solved if there was separate bedroom, and the owners of a one-room apartment did not even count on such a luxury. Making a bedroom out of the only living room is also not an option, since you need to receive guests somewhere. The situation will be saved by multifunctional furniture-transformer.
Bed-wardrobe turn into a sofa
With the advent of transforming furniture, there is no need to choose between sleeping on a flat surface or a sofa. The familiar wardrobe bed can be complemented by a sofa that hides when it is unfolded.
With help lifting mechanism she quickly vanishes into a niche.
If you have an elongated room, it is better to choose the option where the unfolded bed is located sideways to the wall, and not perpendicular. The sofa in this model is much wider, and the bed itself does not block the passage.
For square rooms where it is not possible to install a wide sofa - choose a perpendicular bed layout. Since they are no more than one and a half meters wide, you can put desk or other furniture.
Hiding the bed in the wall
In studios, there is often an option when the hall resembles a living room: in the middle is couch, table and home theater. In order not to violate the design, the bed can be built into the wall and lowered only at night. At the bottom, you can install a shelf or apply a pattern.
This design is ideal for people who do not want to dine in crowded places or often receive guests. In this case, they only cook in the kitchen, and put the dining table in the living room.
Transformation of a small chest into a table with ottomans
If there is absolutely no place to organize a recreation area, put a transformer chest. Inside it are stored ottomans with folding legs, and he himself turns into a stable table. The top of the chest opens like a book, doubling the area.
Inside there is an empty space where you can put a tea set, CDs or books.
Three in one - coffee table, ottoman and folding bed
Often students are forced to share one room with several people. Multifunctional furniture help save space and add stylish touches.
You can increase the number of beds by installing transformers that combine:
- ottoman;
- armchair;
- folding bed.
If you connect the cases together, from several of these structures you can get a large dining table with low ottomans. After disassembling them, you get several chairs for watching a movie together.
TV wall, dressing room and bed in one set
Such a miracle cube is suitable even for those who live in a hostel, not to mention one-room apartment. On a small patch measuring 2x1 meter there is a dressing room, single bed and large wall.
If you are a happy owner of an apartment with a niche, you can build a mini nursery there using this design and a screen.
Invisible nursery in the common room
Families living in a small apartment with children are always looking for options for arranging furniture in such a way as to zone the area and leave aisles. With the advent of transforming furniture, you can transform one room into another.
Hiding children's beds in the wall or desks, and adults in the closet - we get a spacious living room, and vice versa, returning everything to its place - the bedroom.
Folding bunk beds in the wall
Such beds resemble shelves in trains, but thanks to the designer's participation, they were completely hidden. Bed linen is easily hidden inside the closet, and the room has a spacious and tidy look.
The top shelf is equipped with a safety limiter that protects against falling.
Bed in the desk
For a family with one child, an option with a bed in a desk may be suitable. Both can be easily removed if guests come.
When assembled, such a “designer” resembles a small bar counter. Raising the tabletop, we get work surface for creativity, and opening the base - a single bed.
Bookcase hiding a single bed
Not always folding beds perform only one function, there are models that can accommodate several bookshelves and even a nightstand. Choosing a folding bed with a rotating base, you do not have to empty the shelves every time before unfolding the bed.
On the one hand, the lifting mechanism of the bed is attached, and on the other, shelves and a bedside table, so there is no need to tilt the entire base.
Remodeling a small kitchen into a dining room for lunch
If you dream of a spacious kitchen, then transforming furniture will help fulfill the dream of even the owners of a five-meter area. The space is expanding not visually, but really. True, every time you cook, you have to “get rid” of the dining table, but thanks to a well-thought-out design, this is done in a couple of minutes.
Dining table and chairs inside kitchen shelves
Every kitchen needs a cabinet with shelves where the hostess places dishes and various spices. This option contains not only little things, but also a dining table with four full-fledged chairs.
The table consists of two halves, since the depth of the cabinet does not allow it to fit entirely, and the chairs are placed quite normally. An outsider who enters the kitchen will not even understand that they are inside, and the hostess will be able to move freely from the countertop to the refrigerator and stove.
Disappearing dining table in a small kitchen
For a small country-style kitchen, a reclining wooden platform with benches is suitable. With one movement of your hand, you lay out a full-fledged dining table.
5 stools in one ottoman
Where to store chairs? Please, an ottoman with hidden stools. Inside it there are 5 bases, each of them is smaller than the other, due to which they are assembled like nesting dolls. The soft walls of the ottoman are the seats of stools.
Stools are assembled and disassembled very quickly, even a child can handle it.
We remove the mirror from the wall and get a dining table
Women will appreciate the mirror table. After lunch, fold the legs and hang the table on the wall, turning it to the mirror side. Fasteners under the "mirror" can be installed in the corridor, and if necessary, it can be removed and moved.
This table is easy to install in any room. If you live alone, then big table you don't need. But when guests arrive, you remove the mirror from the wall and set up the table.
Thanks to the right furniture, we can change rooms beyond recognition, each time getting free space.

Review #2: Kovrova Zinaida
I saw a photo of such a closet at school with one mother. I told my daughter. It turned out that such rational furniture cannot be found in our stores. And we began to ask where anyone saw this. And so the teacher said that you can buy this on the Internet. My daughter was delighted and ordered. But my grandson is even happier now. He immediately had his own closet, and a desk, and a bed, and
a corner in a one-room apartment where you can play without disturbing anyone! How we love this wardrobe-bed! I advise everyone: take a closer look! Take a closer look and be sure to purchase!

Review #4: Evgenia Kudinova
This convertible bed was recommended to me by a friend. I AM for a long time I complained to him that I could not find furniture that was suitable in style. And he was right, it was she who won my love. My bedroom is not too small, but with the presence of a bed in it, there are too few free corners. And since I want more free space, I was looking for a bed that would at least visually look miniature. But, to my happiness, my friend was also engaged in the selection of furniture for me. And found. Thank you very much, I am very happy with my new bed.
Review #5: Alexey Belorukov
He moved from his parents to a rented apartment. Since there was no point in renting a large apartment alone, I found a one-room apartment. But then I realized how difficult it is to intelligently equip an apartment, so that at the same time there is free space. So I opted for this bed model. I did not purchase a wardrobe, as the built-in shelves in the bed design are quite spacious. I recommend it to everyone!
Review #6: Andrey Volkov
I’m renting an apartment, and since several people very often want to move into a one-room apartment, I decided to replace the old bed with two small ones. And it was right decision. The residents are grateful and I am very happy with my decision. Since my friends moved into the apartment, they were just looking for an apartment for two. Now I am looking for a wardrobe-bed in my room, I managed to appreciate all the practicality, according to the reviews of friends.
