In a small, especially narrow kitchen, you can place a small straight sofa along a long wall, which can replace the chairs on one side of the table.

In the case where the kitchen is combined with a living room and a family recreation area, the sofa can be placed in the center, with its back close to the blank wall of the desktop or cabinet. This zoning method will provide access to the home theater while working in the kitchen, and at the same time provide the necessary isolation of the cooking area.

When combined with a loggia, corner sofas can be positioned with their rear part towards the kitchen, delimiting the dining space. The balcony niche adjacent to the kitchen can be equipped with a sofa with a table by the window for a pleasant time with a cup of coffee or tea.

A dining table located against the wall can be complemented on both sides with miniature sofas; they can successfully replace not so comfortable kitchen stools and give a special coziness to a small kitchen.

Sofa in a small kitchen

At first glance, it seems that in a small kitchen a sofa will look too bulky. But actually it is not. A properly selected model will take up much less space than chairs around a table, and at the same time provide much more seating. But it is important to comply with a number of requirements.

Bulky models are not suitable for a small kitchen. There are small compact sofas with 2-3 seats, which are usually installed along the wall. The ideal option would be to place the sofa along the window, since other items will not fit here. Both straight and angular models are suitable. This sofa can be paired with a small table. A glass tabletop will add lightness and visually unload the space.

The so-called sofa-benches are very convenient for a small kitchen. They do not take up much space, especially if we are talking about a structure that is mounted on the wall. Many models are very functional and practical. At the bottom they have drawers that are used to store items.

Another good option is a combined sofa. It is a continuation of the kitchen set. Essentially these are boxes with seats or cushions attached to the top. As a result, due to such unity of furniture, the space is not divided into a number of parts and visually increases.

For a small room, it is better to choose sofas with a minimum number of details, without armrests and pillows. This way it will attract less attention and fit harmoniously into the interior.

It is better to choose a sofa in a light color, which will visually increase the area of a small room. The ideal option would be upholstery matched to the color of the walls.

Wardrobe-sofa

Takes up more space than other similar models. The wardrobe-sofa consists of:

cabinet;
beds;
sofa

Has great functionality. Combining such important interior components into one design saves space and is suitable even for the smallest rooms, an ideal solution for a bedroom in a small family or a studio apartment. The bed rises and falls towards the wall.

Thanks to special clamps, the bed can be left straightened. They will keep the laundry in place. The disadvantage is the price, we can say that it includes the cost of the sofa, bed, and wardrobe. The price starts from 60 thousand rubles.

On the underside of the bed there is a special shelf for trinkets. When lowering the bed, it serves as its support.

There are many configurations. For example, with a children's or computer table. Or for example corner models.

Choosing a transforming table depending on the room

This table is ideal for a small kitchen. It does not take up much space and can be unfolded and assembled if necessary.

Compact, functional furniture comes to your aid, which can not only be folded and put away, but also transformed from one piece of furniture to another. For example, a folding transforming table can become such an ideal “helping” and bright accent of your home.

For the living room

Nowadays, the most popular (among consumers) are folding transforming tables for the living room. They are original and fit organically into almost any interior. If you prefer to highlight, for example, a dining area, then it is best to choose a coffee-dining table for it. Such models are distinguished by a simple design that allows you and your guests to transform an ordinary small coffee table into a larger tabletop space for lunch or any other business at any time necessary for you and your guests.

A table-bench will come in handy at your dacha or countryside; you can not only have lunch at it, but also relax in the afternoon - sitting and having a pleasant conversation or lying down after making your bed.

For the sleeping area in the living room, it will be preferable to have a table-sofa (table-bed) or a sofa-table-bed (3 in 1). These types of tables are, of course, more complicated, but with them the convenience in the living room will become much greater.

For the bedroom

There are a number of models of cabinet tables, cabinet tables, bed tables, sofa tables that will not only look impressive in your bedroom, but also take up a minimum of space. But when getting ready for bed, you can easily expand one of these models into a full-fledged lying area and a small table.

Such a table-bed will fit perfectly into a teenager’s bedroom or one-room apartment, where there is not enough space to place a double bed and a computer table.

Depending on what type of transformable table you choose for your bedroom, its location in the room itself will directly depend. It will be more convenient to place one such table against the wall, since all the fasteners and mechanism will be built directly into the wall, while others will be better placed almost in the middle of the room.

For children's

Transformable children's tables for feeding babies are often presented in the form of a small seat on a high structure and with a small table in front, which can be transformed into a large table and seat. This design is not particularly complex, but it is quite convenient. When the seat is high, you can move the baby to the adult table (this is usually done with younger children who do not yet know how to eat on their own). By converting it into a large table and seat, you can leave the child to learn to be independent (this is more suitable for children after 1 year).

For school-age children, a transforming computer desk would be an ideal option. For example, the Ikea console table, this model will not only please your child, but will also bring no less pleasure to the process of constructing (modeling) such a table into several different variations of a table for a schoolchild (computer and work, where he will do his homework, plus additional shelves for books and everything you need). Be sure to take a closer look at this model.

For kitchen

When choosing a transforming table for a small kitchen, you should opt for a wooden dining table with an extendable tabletop. Most often, such models do not change the height of the legs, but only increase the usable area of the kitchen table. A table-book would be no less preferable; if necessary, you can raise one side of the tabletop or two, depending on how many guests or household guests you expect.

Extendable kitchen tables, round table:

Sofa bed

Unfolding types are the most popular. This is due to maintaining a balance between price and quality. They are compact and suitable for small apartments or studios.

The transformable sleeping sofa has a simple mechanism that allows folding and unfolding; even a child can handle it. Pull the seat up a little. Ready. The sofa is converted into a bed and the cats are ready for use.

This type is developed in three stages.

First you need to pull the part intended for sitting towards you.
The sofa will begin to unfold.
