The rational use of each square centimeter is the task of many families. Too many people live in small apartments. In this case, furniture transformer will help. There is different models for various premises: for bedroom, kitchen, hallway, nursery, living room. There is no such furniture only in the bathroom or toilet. Yes, and that will probably appear soon.

Types and types

Transformable furniture is convenient if the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe room is small. For small apartments, this is a lifesaver. 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. Unless for the organization of extra beds during the visits of guests.

Either way, folded or unfolded, it looks great.

Basically, transformer furniture in one item combines two types of items. 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 an example - a sofa bed - be careful. Do not confuse with the upholstered furniture popular with our grandmothers called "sofa bed". It was not the most comfortable sofa, which unfolded into something resembling a bed (also, by the way, not very comfortable).

In the current version, these are two different items combined into one. A full bed with a daytime mattress rises, representing a closet and part of the back of the sofa. It turns out to be available soft seat. It turns out a sofa. But not folding, but so to speak "stationary". Convenience to it, as a rule, is given by additional pillows. At night they are removed (there may 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 is also transformer 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 ​​\u200b\u200bthe dining table;
  • for increase working surface in kitchen sets.

There are also triple transformers. Basically it is a wardrobe-bed-sofa or wardrobe-bed-table. They differ from double ones only in that the cabinet is large due to the non-transformable part with shelves.

Furniture transformer: pros and cons

The advantage of furniture transformers is obvious: they occupy less space than two individual subject. That's all. There are no other benefits, really. But there are downsides:


In general, everything. If you still want to have transforming furniture, choose not only functionality and appearance. Pay attention to mechanisms. They should be made of good steel, the move should be easy. At the slightest problem when unfolding or folding, it is better to refuse the purchase.

Bed-transformer

All built-in beds are equipped with orthopedic mattresses, which are fixed on the frame. Basically, transformer furniture of this type is folding. In one state, the frame is raised vertically, held by spring or pneumatic holders. The furniture looks like a closet. In another position, the frame is lowered and rests with its legs on the floor. In this case, everything looks like a bed that stands next to the closet.

If you are going to buy a transforming bed of a lifting type, please note that it should stand near bearing wall. Since the structure is attached to the wall and it must withstand solid loads. So putting such furniture on a weak partition will not work. Is that roll-out models, but there are not so many of them and they do not have the same effects.

Wardrobe bed

Cabinet-beds differ in the orientation of the mattress relative to the surface of the cabinet. There are models that are attached to furniture with a long side, there are short ones. In the first version, the cabinet is wider, its upper part can be used intended purpose- as storage compartments.

This type of wall-transformer is suitable for narrow spaces. But only a single or one and a half bed can be built in. This view is also called the "horizontal folding bed" - the long part is located along the horizon.

Bunk beds are arranged in the same way. In them, two separate beds are located one above the other. When assembled, they look like a closet.

To climb to the second tier, put an attached ladder. This is where the main inconvenience lies. Firstly, it is far from safe, there are no railings at all. Secondly, it must be kept somewhere at a time when the beds are folded. In general, there are downsides. But there is also a huge plus - the space saving is very solid.

The advantage of this option is the lower price. These models do not require a lot of power of the lifting device, since the load on the mechanism is not so high. In the most budget options springs can be used. Due to this, the cost is reduced.

Furniture transformer: a 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 bed". Here the price is higher, since the loads on the mechanism responsible for lowering and raising are considerable. Pneumatic lifts are already used here, and they must be of good quality. There are even options with automatic drive and remote control.

In this option there are single, one-and-a-half and two-bed places. The larger the size, the more attention should be paid to the lift. You should also check the mattress fixation system. It must be reliable, but at the same time, it must be possible to remove the mattress for drying / disinfection without any problems.

Walls with built-in beds (transforming wall)

This is an even more solid and expensive type of transforming furniture. Part of the wall - lateral or central - can move away, revealing a vertical bed hidden behind it.

This furniture has no less functionality than a regular wall. Unless under it more space is required in terms of "depth" - so that you can move part of the cabinet. But all the shelves are functional, which is rare in transformable furniture. Even if they are of lesser depth than they could be at the same time in ordinary closet, but the bed is not visible during the daytime. View - business or official, the room can be a living room or dining room. And in the evening, with the bed down, it turns into a bedroom with a full bed.

Roll-out beds

Another transforming bed hides under a work, play or second bed. This option is most often used in children. It is safer, since the bed is low, which is important for children.

Pay attention to the photo. So that both the bed and the table are convenient to use, and the table and bed are pulled out. Very smart and compact. For small apartments - a great option for a nursery.

Another nuance: a box for storing linen under the bed. Basically, this place can be empty. In this case, you can do without a retractable tabletop, as the legs can be hidden under the folded bed.

Table transformer

not at all fewer models transformable tables. For living rooms, coffee tables-transformers are good, which are laid out in the dining room. A couple of movements and the living room turns into a dining room.

The methods of transformation 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 transforming table for the bedroom or children's room. In this case, the desktop rises, and the bed falls on a swivel 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 day or night.

Several cabinets on top - for storing books or things Side cabinets - for storing various small things

This is a good way to free up space for games in the nursery, organize an extra bed to accommodate guests. Ideal for students, suitable for students.

There are also more solid appearance options that can be placed, for example in the living room or dining room. Again, to accommodate a large number of guests.

This transformer furniture can already be called a table-bed-wardrobe. Since more complex modifications contain more sections with shelves on the side. With a high ceiling height, shelves with doors can be made from above, above the level of the bed - for storing rarely used items. This option is useful if you do not have, in which off-season items are stored.

For kitchen

There are tables-transformers for the kitchen. Some use the same principle as the well-known book tables. Some “piece” is added to the main work surface, one way or another fixed on the main table top.

This transformer 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.

Part of the retractable tabletops can be supported on legs, part hangs in the air, leaning on guides

There are also tables with sliding tops. In this case, you also need to pay attention to the fixation system. It has a considerable load, so there must be a margin of safety. It gives good metal and reliable system rollers, on which the table top extends.

Even for the kitchen, the type of metal from which the guides are made is important. At a minimum, it should be galvanized metal, but stainless steel is better. As a last resort, for budget models, suitable coloring powder paints. It cannot be said that it is much cheaper than the same galvanization, but it gives more color options.

Convertible sofas

Another type of transforming furniture is sofas. Everyone knows the old model - a sofa bed. But we are talking not about her. This is not a very good, although widespread option. There are more interesting ones.

Sofa bed

This type of transformer furniture is a fundamental difference from the old model: full bed transformed into an equally complete and comfortable sofa. The bed in this version is mounted vertically, mostly one and a half 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 in the tone of the sofa upholstery, the role of the backrest is performed by pillows. Before laying them out, they are removed, the bed is lowered, which lies on the sofa and rests on retractable legs. The role of the legs can be played by a shelf (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 nearby. With sufficient ceiling height, shelves / cabinets can be 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 rather big.

But the model is very comfortable. Both the sofa and the beds are comfortable. Compared to the traditional one, it does not “load” space so much, but saves it no less.

sofa table

Sofa with table. This option is rather exotic. Its functionality is not so high. But as a variant of non-standard furniture, it is good. The sofa table has a movable back made of wood (or its substitutes) or plastic. While furniture transformer is used as cushioned furniture, there are no external differences. If necessary, the back is thrown 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 convertible sofa has one more way of use: it unfolds into a bed. An additional padded stool extends from under the seat. That is, it is a 3 in 1 option.

Another option for a convertible sofa is a modular design. It's not exactly what was described before. All upholstered furniture is divided into segments that can be joined together in different ways.

As a rule, the sofa itself is sliding or folding. It is installed permanently, while smaller mobile units can move. Often they have rollers.

Unusual transformers

There are several transformers that are difficult to attribute to furniture. For example, a shelf that turns into small table. Perfect 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 place.

Shelves that turn into a table - at least original

Not less than original solution- a picture or a mirror that turns into a table. In this case, the tabletop is attached to the wall with hinges. A mirror or picture is attached to its back surface (which, when raised, becomes the front one).

The mirror on the wall becomes... a table

The legs are made in the form of a frame salary. When the table is needed, it is thrown back. When not needed, they are fixed on the wall again. This is also one of the very good options if the table can only be installed in the passage area. Ideal Solution for some small apartments.

Problem small apartments and functional, folding furniture is not new. Simple transformers have been found in almost every apartment since the Soviet era. For example, a sofa bed, chair bed, table-book. A transformer bed for a small apartment is the most relevant topic, because it is the sleeping place that takes up the most space in the room in terms of dimensions.

Transformer furniture options

With the advent of new materials and mechanisms, folding models have acquired greater functionality and reliability. Winch mechanisms have given way to hydraulic and pneumatic. Improved and lightened spring mechanisms used to transform sofas. Lightweight composite materials for load-bearing structures are characterized by increased reliability.

In addition, in a dynamic time, the idea of ​​transforming space by using design techniques in demand. At the latest furniture exhibitions, awards were given to designers who developed transforming furniture for a miniature apartment. What are the main options offered by furniture designers and designers?

Wardrobe bed transformer

The most common option is a transformer bed wardrobe, photos of such models are often found in various furniture magazines. Quite simple options are the horizontal or vertical fastening of the bed to the cabinet wall. In an upright position, the bed is attached to one sidewall in width. In the horizontal for the base - along the length of the bed. If necessary, with the help of a hydraulic mechanism, the bed rises and turns into one of the cabinet walls. For decor use shelves, a mirror, decorative panels. Visually, it looks like a cabinet or a wall.

For rest or sleep, the sleeping place is lowered, fixed on folding legs and a horizontal bed is obtained, comfortable for good rest. Additionally, in the configuration of such walls there are niches for linen, fixing the bed and mattress straps, lighting. It's so versatile compact version which is suitable for living room, small bedroom and nursery.

Sofa bed wall

This option is optimal for a small living room. Suitable in case relatives or guests have arrived, and you need an extra bed, or if the apartment is completely miniature. The combination is as follows - wardrobe bed sofa transformer. In a stationary state, we see a wall or cabinet, along which there is a corner sofa. This is a typical living room setting. Behind the back of the sofa, adjacent to the wall, there is a niche with a sleeping place. If necessary, this part of the sofa is transformed and turns into a bed.

There are options when there can be an additional soft element for a sofa in the wall or a complete bed frame with a mattress, which is lowered and fixed with folding legs. This is how transformer sofa beds function for a small apartment.

Models for nursery and office

One of convenient options– sofa-table-bed for a nursery or a mini-study, suitable for rooms where you need to combine working area for work and sleeping quarters. The principle of operation is similar to combining a bed with a wardrobe. In this case, folded reverse side bed, a structure is attached, which turns into a work table.

A transformer bed for a small room with a table is convenient for a nursery, a bedroom and a small one-room apartment, such as a "living room".

The children's room needs space optimization more than others, especially if there are two, sometimes more children in one room. To solve this problem, there are systems that provide transformers for two beds - ranging from simple models, with retractable niches with a mattress from under the bed, ending with more complex ones with two bunk beds.

In the first case, it is sufficient to use traditional furniture materials: wood, chipboard, MDF. In the second case, all frame elements must be made of durable composite materials but light enough. The design principle is that a similar second niche is located above the lower niche. It is also attached to the wall when folded.

When preparing a place to rest, two structures are laid out. The upper berth is fixed and connected to the lower one with the help of frame elements. Additionally, a ladder is mounted so that you can get to the second tier. When assembled, we see a cabinet, at the bottom of which there is a workplace for classes. The first and second options allow you to significantly expand functionality rooms.

Transformer sofa model

Sofa bed transformer 3 in 1 is another solution for apartments with limited space. When folded, it is a regular sofa with a soft back made of furniture pillows. The sidewalls consist of a rigid frame, often covered with artificial leather. They have rotary mechanisms which allow them to turn 180 degrees.

Also, the sidewalls are interconnected by a furniture plate, which is not visible when folded. The furniture plate will later become the surface of the table, it is hidden behind the furniture cushions. At the bottom of the sofa there is a niche where an additional soft part is located.

Three transformation options in one:

  • Folded state. A full-fledged comfortable sofa with leather sidewalls and soft furniture pillows.
  • Bed. A niche comes up. Using the dolphin mechanism and a tension loop, the second half of the soft part is removed. As a result, we get a spacious sleeping place, that is, a bed.
  • Sofa table. The pillows are removed, and a rigid structure is raised along the mounting axis. It, recall, consists of sidewalls, which are interconnected by a tabletop. We get a full table. The side parts of the sofa serve as a fixing support. The dimensions of the table allow not only to use it for work, but also as a dining table (length 1.9 m, width 0.7 m).

All three transformation options make it possible to get a full-fledged and functional sofa, bed, table. These are the most popular solutions for the transformation of furniture systems with fairly simple mechanisms.

Modern tendencies

It has already been noted that transforming furniture has become fashion trend. There are objective conditions for this. Real estate is expensive. At the beginning of the career start, many have to be content with small apartments. The desire to make such premises functional, interesting and non-standard pushes designers around the world to look for new solutions.

Furniture-transformer for small apartment- the ability to organize a comfortable and convenient living space, despite the lack of space. Such furniture allows not only to unload the space, but also to make it more functional by combining several zones of different purposes on the same area. The theme of transforming furniture has always been relevant - mass urban development did not indulge its owners large apartments, that's why different kinds roll-out (folding out) sofas as well as various options tables-books have become a familiar attribute of urban apartments. But, thanks to technical evolution and design creativity, today there are designs that can not only radically change their shape, but also look very attractive and aesthetically pleasing.

Wardrobe-bed-transformer: a definite gain in area

Where and how to place a bed is the most problematic moment for owners of small-sized two- and one-room apartments. Partially, the problem can be solved by a sofa bed - the most famous and common example of transforming furniture with a folding or moving part. However, in Lately more and more widespread are transformers of the type " wardrobe bed". When assembled, they are just a closet, the facade of which is made taking into account the stylistic features of the design of the room. Special lifting mechanism allows you to quickly expand a full bed.

A bed in a closet, compared with a sofa bed, has several advantages:

  • compactness - in terms of area, the drawer-wardrobe, where the bed is removed, takes up significantly less space (less than one square place) than the sofa, because the main usable area of ​​​​the bed in the assembled state is located in height along the wall
  • this bed does not have joints that are formed when the sofa is unfolded
  • the basis of the design metal carcass and lamellas (they enhance the orthopedic effect), on which the orthopedic mattress- in combination, it provides healthy sleep without undue stress on the spine
  • no need for additional laundry box- it is fixed with special straps and removed inside the closet, so that in the evening you don’t even have to make the bed.

Built-in folding bed can be single, and complete double. At the same time, double, rather bulky beds are equipped with a vertical folding mechanism, while single beds are horizontal, which makes it possible to place various shelves or decorative elements above the niche. In the latter case, the unfolded bed will resemble a sofa set tightly against the wall. In addition, such a bed can be decorated under a closed shelf or chest of drawers. To make the rest as comfortable as possible, built-in Spotlights, which will provide a sleeping place with lighting of the desired intensity. The wardrobe-bed itself can include not only a compartment in which the bed is laid, but also compartments for storing necessary things.
