I can see the practicality in some of these space saving designs. I’m sure if you live some place like New York or even Europe where there is a lack of space in homes, these would be incredibly useful. I can also see how this would be for those people who like to keep their clutter out of sight for a nice clean look in their home.
It’d be awesome to have some of this as I’m currently living out of ~120 square feet, but the problem is that the kind of people living in spaces this small usually are living there because they cannot afford to live anywhere else. Of course there are outliers, but the fact is that these are hyper expensive things. I’ve looked into some of this stuff, and you can forget it unless you’re willing to spend 6 grand on a bed.
I’ve lived in a studio condo now for almost seven years and love it. If you have a small home don’t fill it with crap. Choose your furniture wisely and sparingly. Everything should have at least one legitimate purpose. Two or more purposes are better. For example, the two end tables along side my couch provide a surface for a lamp, book and coaster. They also have two drawers each for useful storage. I have a little bistro table where I eat and it doubles as extra desk space when I need it. My entertainment center is made up of a long row of modular chests of drawers which provide a ton of storage. You don’t have to spend a ton of money to live comfortably in a small space.
I bought a metal platform bed from Amazon. Then I bought 6 of those large plastic storage crates from Walmart. The crates fit perfectly under the bed. Zero wasted space on drawer hinges, etc. Crates can be pulled out and moved to different rooms as/when needed. Much more storage space than the fancy beds shown here. And a cost difference in the 1000’s. I’ll keep my setup.
