Space-Saving Furniture

While reading the paper yesterday, I came across an ad and the link to a website for the Knightsbridge Residences in Makati.

I have no plans of getting a unit (it's expensive!), what got me interested was the single room design for their Pod Concept. I liked the idea of having the bed in a loft above the "living area". It's a great space saver for a studio type apartment. (The reason why it seems more expensive. For the price of their lowest rate at about 22K per month, I'd rather get a three-bedroom house. :) )

But seeing that ad, reminded me of some of the really functional space saving interiors and furniture that I browsed over the net some months ago. So, I found the links again to share them with you.

The first is something I found on NotCot. It began with a sofa, a sofa that can transform into a double decker bed. :) Their site also contains photos of their other interiors where closets turn into beds with a pull or two in twin or queen sizes. There's also a video somewhere in there as well. The concepts for their interiors are very practical for small spaces, knowing those affordable condos in the city only give you a tight space to live in.

The next link is something I found while Stumbling. It would be great to be able to feel at home wherever you go like Mary Poppins. She has everything in her magic bag. The Casulo concept brings to life that exact idea, except it's a whole set of furniture for an apartment that fits inside a box. They've developed the mobile furniture based on the mobile lifestyles of people these days.It's pretty handy if you get relocated a lot. But what I like about this concept is how things from inside a box fold out into furniture you can live in. :)

There are a lot more space-saving interior ideas out there, these are just three. I just love those clever solutions that allow you to keep organized.:)
