Whether you’re short on space, trying to hide your household clutter or just looking to make the most of your furniture, it’s awesome to find pieces for your home that do double duty.
Here are 10 furniture pieces that creatively and fashionably combine multiple functions through their hidden features.
1. A Coffee Table With Desk And Storage
Aren't there times when you just want to sit in the living room and enjoy your work? Well, this coffee table is designed to double as a desk. Just raise the top. You can use the desk, and enjoy a nice cup of coffee.
To make things even better, the table also has storage space, which means that you safely tuck away important items you want to use the next time you use the desk.
2. A Cabinet To Hide Pet Food And Bowls
Rather than keeping Fluffy’s food in a bulky plastic storage container, and Fido’s bowls on the ground, this Grandin Road pet food storage cabinet provides one place for all of that. We like the addition of the pegs on the side to hang leashes and collars.
3. A Desk That Unfolds Into A Murphy Bed
This all-in-one Costco desk and Murphy bed seems perfect for a dual purpose den/guest bedroom. Plus it comes with bookcases with drawers.
4. A Hideaway Shoe Cabinet
This IKEA HEMNES cabinet is supposed to be for shoes, but its fold-out drawers could be used for so many things: recycling, hats and gloves, your kids’ arts and crafts supplies, towels, electronics—there are so many options.
5. A Standing Mirror That Stores Jewelry
Check out your appearance from head to toe in this Yaheetech mirror. Then open it up to find all your accessories, nicely organized, so you can easily see what to add to that day’s look.
6. A Kid’s Bed With A Trundle And Drawers
This piece of Dot & Bo furniture isn’t just a kid’s bed. It’s also a second kid’s bed, with its trundle feature and pull-out drawers in which to store their clothes. Oh, and the headboard has shelves!
7. A Discreet Bar Cabinet
This understated mango and marble cabinet from Crate & Barrel might seem to store anything on first look. But once you open it, you’ll see it has the perfect storage features for glasses, bottles and other bar accessories. One reviewer posted that she cleverly repurposed it as a coffee station.
8. A Floating Desk That Folds Up Into A Box
We love that this Zipcode Design desk folds up into a small wall cabinet and folds down into a streamlined desk. It’s got storage as well. The perfect piece of furniture for a small space or a multi-purpose room.
9. A Sofa With Storage And A Pull-Out Bed
This West Elm couch can be customized to include storage in its sofa arms and chaise, plus you can have recliners. And there’s a pull-out bed option, too. The Swiss Army knife of sofas?
10. A Storage Basket/Coffee Table
Alright, this isn’t entirely hidden. But how cute is this Kirklands storage basket/coffee table? Stash your blankets, pillows, or odds and ends in the basket. Put your cup of coffee on top. Carry it around by the handles if you want.
All these pieces yell “Give me multi-functionality or give me death!” Which would you snatch up for your home?
