In this blog, we will be featuring multifunctional products that fulfil many everyday household needs; from modern sofas to unique storage solutions, we have something for everyone. 

Space saving furniture for your hallway

If you are tired of falling over trainers and raincoats when you walk through your front door, then look at this clever peg board from Naken. Not only is it minimalist and sleek, but it’s also flexible as the pegs can be moved around for whatever functions you need. Whether it be hanging coats, placing keys or even putting some small decorative houseplants.

Whether you are a fashionista needing to touch up your hair or someone who is always in a rush and needs to check you don’t have food in your teeth before you run out the door - we all need a mirror in our hallway. However, mirrors often come second to hooks and storage so we love IKEA’s Lindbyn mirror with storage built in. This multifunctional product is perfect for hallways, dressing tables and even bathrooms. Perfect for storing away a hairbrush or hair bands, hanging jackets and even your car keys as you walk in.

Both men and women are equally guilty of owning many pairs of shoes but never having anywhere to put them. John Lewis have come to our rescue with the Restoration Shoe Rack and Bench. This multifunctional product acts as a bench seat for you to easily pop on your shoes and it’s built with enough storage to easily house 8 pairs of shoes!  Now that's the kind of compact furniture we all need in our lives!

We love children's bedroom solutions! Our co-founder Diana is a big fan of multipurpose kids' furniture after purchasing a bunk bed with a built-in desk for her son. It’s the perfect space saving piece that’s got the practical desk for cracking on with homework but also the fun and quirky element that a bunk bed must have.
