How to Make Your Furniture Multi-Task!

(Altea Relax sofa-bed unit, from Resource Furniture)Are you pressed for space? Looking for additional storage? Feeling cramped where you live?  If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this post can help you.  I’m very tough on my furniture – I not only expect them to look good, but I expect them to work really hard for me. How, you ask?  I make sure they fulfill a function, preferably several functions.  I want them to multi-task!

If you have a small room or live in a cramped city apartment like I do, each piece of furniture I place has to do more than one thing.  For instance, this bed from Bo Concept lifts up and doubles as storage space for blankets, sheets, etc.  You can even store old design magazines in there.  I can then free up my dresser from storing linens to just house only my clothes. If you’re a clotheshorse like me, this is essential!
