Multifunctional Furniture for Compact Living

Anyone looking for a flat in Berlin or other major cities will mostly find only extremely expensive or very small 1.5-room flats. If you don't have the necessary cash, you'll search in vain for a flat with sufficient storage space and living area.

How to still make sensible use of the available space, you'll find out today in our latest Furniture Trend Blog post.

Lack of space makes living rooms and dining rooms merge

The days of a large living room and dining room are unfortunately over. A large proportion of the population works longer hours and cooks less and less. Cooking rituals lasting several hours are now very rarely celebrated, and the urge for quick fast food is given priority.

Additionally, the increasing population ensures that large flats are divided so that many small 1.5-room flats can be created.

The consequences are living rooms with kitchenettes or kitchen islands. These open-plan kitchens save living space at first glance, but also often result in extremely little floor space.

Multifunctional Furniture for Your Open-Plan Kitchens

If you have little space but still want to invite friends over for dinner, you need to make better use of the available living space. One solution is multifunctional furniture that can be used for different areas. A dining table and a small flat are therefore not mutually exclusive.

The Newood coffee table is very popular, which can be adjusted in height in an instant, transforming it into a dining table. Thanks to its castors, the 2-in-1 piece of furniture can be easily moved into the open-plan kitchen, thus protecting your valuable wooden floor. If needed, the dining table can be extended to up to 236 cm, offering space for up to 10 people.

The possible uses of the height-adjustable coffee table are enormous. In a short video, we show you a few possibilities for multifunctional furniture:

For the Generation: „Eating on the Sofa“

Whether it's due to lack of space, the missing dining table, or convenience, we don't know either. However, the facts speak for themselves: more and more people are eating on the sofa. In most cases, the coffee table then becomes the dining table.

A multifunctional piece of furniture also helps here and offers space-saving advantages. The height-adjustable, rectangular designer coffee table Bellagio in Brown can simply be folded up when needed and then offers the perfect height for eating and working with a table height of 65 cm.

Space-saving Console for More Living Space

Anyone looking for a practical surface in the hallway where keys and other accessories can be quickly placed should look out for a furniture console.

A console is a table with a shallow depth that can simply be placed against a wall. Some consoles are also available as space-saving multifunctional furniture and can be extended into a large dining table when needed.

The Italian manufacturer Ozzio offers a space-saving solution with the Metro Xelle console, which can be integrated into any flat in a modern and timeless way:
