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).
These are now transformer sofas
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.
Tables can also be folded
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 the 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:
- Higher price.
- At the same time, it is basically possible only one of the possible options.
- To lay / fold, you have to make an effort. Not all the elderly or children are able to do it on their own. There are some automated models with the control panel, but they cost more. And this is provided without a considerable price for the furniture transformer without an automatic drive.
- For transformation, special mechanisms are used. And they can break or dine. And this is an additional minus.
The rational use of space is the main plus of transformable furniture
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.

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.
Transformed bed can be hidden in the wall

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".

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.
Transformer wall with a lowered bed
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.

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

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

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.
