Small Space Furniture – Less is More

Small Space Furniture – One of the most common design challenges is working with a small space. Regardless of square footage, everyone wants to live somewhere that feels spacious and appealing.

MURPHY’S LAW A classic choice for small space furniture for a good reason, a Murphy bed is the best solution for expanding your bedroom. A bed that folds out from a cabinet-like wall unit means that it can be put away when not in use. While it’s sometimes necessary to have one of these custom built to fit your exact space, there are also many options that are pre-built and can be easily installed if the dimensions work. There are even models that include a built-in desk that remains level as the bed opens, so nothing is rearranged during the transition.

A true example of appearance defying reality, there are four stylish Nano chairs tucked away in a hidden cache at its core.
