Space Saving Furniture

While most space-saving furniture is built to predetermined sizes, we can certainly customise it to suit your space. By customising your furniture, you can get tailored dimensions that perfectly fit the available space and meet your every need. Your HomeLane designer will be able to tell you what’s possible and what cannot be done!

While durability depends on the materials and construction, space-saving furniture can be just as durable as traditional furniture. Here are some things to consider:

• Materials: Plywood, HDHMR and MDF are generally more durable than particleboard. Ensure that the edges are well sealed or edge-banded to prevent the entry of moisture.
• Mechanisms: If your furniture has moving parts, like Murphy beds or folding tables, ensure the mechanisms are well-made and properly installed by someone who is experienced. All HomeLane technicians have the expertise to make sure that your installations are perfect.
• Hardware: HomeLane’s space-saving furniture is built with high-quality hinges, drawer slides, and other hardware to ensure smooth operation and longevity.
  

Here are some ideas to help you maximise small spaces with the right furniture:

• Walls are your best friend in a small space. Plan to have floor-to-ceiling shelves, cabinets, or floating shelves for storage and display. Look for seats or benches with built-in storage to maximise seating and functionality.
• Always plan ahead—before buying furniture, measure your space and sketch a layout. This helps you visualise furniture placement and ensures smooth traffic flow. Consider room purpose and first buy pieces you'll use most. You can always add on more over the years.
• Invest in furniture that does double duty. Think of window seats with storage compartments below, futons that convert to sofas or beds, nesting tables that tuck away when not needed, or a sofa with a built-in pull-out bed. This reduces clutter and keeps precious floor space free.
• Lighten the look, with light-coloured furniture on spindle legs. Table tops with glass or clear acrylic extend visual sightlines and make the space look less cramped. This creates a feeling of spaciousness and allows light to flow freely.
• Try playing with scale. Oversized and bulky furniture will overwhelm a small space, so choose pieces proportionate to the room size. Try to find low-profile sofas and glass-topped coffee tables to create a sense of openness.
• Last but not least, keep decluttering! On regular schedules, pare down your belongings and keep only what you really need. This prevents visual clutter and maximises the impact of your space-saving furniture.

HomeLane offers a variety of space-saving furniture for different rooms in your house. Here are some of our popular options:

• Convertible Coffee Tables: Don't just settle for a place to park your coffee mug! HomeLane's convertible coffee tables transform into functional workspaces with a lift-up top and hidden compartments. This allows you to maximise your living room's functionality, without sacrificing style.
• Bunk beds: Bunk beds are a great way to save space in your child's bedroom—and most kids love them, too! HomeLane offers a variety of bunk beds in different styles and sizes, crafted for kiddie delight. If you’re looking for space-saving beds for small rooms, a bunk bed is the ideal solution!
• Murphy Beds: These genius wall-mounted beds fold up vertically, reclaiming floor space during the day. Perfect for small studios or creating a multifunctional room, they are your best friend in a compact home! HomeLane offers various Murphy bed styles, including single and double beds, to match your needs and décor aesthetic.
• Sofa Beds and Pull-Outs: Looking for a guest bed solution without a dedicated room? HomeLane offers stylish sofa beds and pull-out couches for your unexpected guests! These open up to comfortable sleeping spaces at night, keeping your living area clutter-free when not in use.
• Flexible Dining: Save space without sacrificing functionality with fold-down tables from HomeLane. These space-saving tables and chairs are a godsend in a small home—the table folds flat against the wall when not in use, creating a more open feel in your dining area. When needed, they easily extend to accommodate a meal for two or a small gathering. Stackable chairs can be neatly tucked away when not in use.
• Storage Cabinet and Work Desk: Need a work desk for those days when you bring home work, but don’t want a permanent solution? Or, looking for a compact fold-away homework station for your little one? HomeLane’s clever unit folds up to cover the wall cabinets, opening easily to create a desk with storage shelves alongside.
• Space-Saving Wardrobes: HomeLane’s wardrobe designs are crafted to make the most of available space. Corner wardrobes, open wardrobes and loft wardrobes are all options that can optimise storage in a small bedroom.

Here are some more examples of space-saving furniture design:

• Loft Beds: Perfect for maximising vertical space, loft beds elevate the sleeping area, freeing up valuable square footage underneath. This space can be used for a work desk, a cosy reading nook, or even another bed. Loft beds are ideal for children's rooms or studio apartments.
• Space-Saving Sofas: There are many sofa designs that are perfect for small spaces. Futons offer a multifunctional solution, transforming from a couch to a bed at night. Sleeper sofas provide additional sleeping space for guests. Some sofas could have built-in storage spaces to keep clutter at bay.
• Folding Tables: Wall-mounted tables that fold down when needed are lifesavers in your tiny kitchen or living room! These can be used as a space-saving dining table, as a desk for working from home, or as extra space for meal prep. Folding chairs are another great space-saving option, easily tucked away when not in use.
• Nesting Tables or Stools: These versatile tables or stools slide neatly into each other, and can be pulled out when guests arrive!
