Creating Multifunctional Rooms

Considering real estate prices and tight rental apartments these days, getting more out of your furnishings has become a modern necessity. Whether it's multi-functional, stackable, or collapsible, well-designed furniture has become a solution to small spaces that don't compromise lifestyles. Luckily, there are stylish home furnishings, just for these situations.



Take Squat, for example. Designed by Duane Smith, this versatile furniture module can be used as a bench, table, or shelving. Pair them with Flop (a cushion that folds up like a book), and you've got instant seating for guests.

There's also Christopher Douglas's Knock-Down Drag-Out furniture line, made especially for easy room transformations and renters who move frequently. Or re:modern's Jigsaw Collection of modular office furniture. There's just something really smart about furniture designed to go with you, and grow with you. I like to think of this as furniture for the future, as well as for the non-committed.
