Convertible Spaces – Make The Most of Every Inch of Your Space!
Gone are the days of formal sitting and dining rooms used once a year. With today’s busy lifestyle it’s important that all the space in your home meet the needs of your family. Learn how to go beyond just assigning space a function and instead create a space that can meet multiple requirements.
How can we create a convertible space? It’ easy with some out of the box thinking and unique furniture pieces that can change with your occasion. Watch our video for 3 specific room examples.
3 steps to creating a space that meets your needs.
- Start by making a list of all the activities you do in your home and note the items on the list that you don’t have a designated space for.
- Next think about where you want to do the activities on your list. Do you need natural light, or privacy?
- Finally list any areas in your home that are underutilized that might be able to handle dual function requirements.
Don’t worry about the traditional use of any space in your home. You don’t always have to have a sofa in your formal sitting room.
If you work from home and use your bedroom as a makeshift office, consider a small desk instead of a nightstand to provide double duty of office by day and landing spot at night. A lamp and clock can reside permanently and serve both functions.
If you like to work in front of the TV, this type of lift top coffee table is a great solution.
Creating a convertible space doesn’t always have to mean you lose the original function.
