We know that real estate market trends in Thrissur show a marked shift towards compact apartments, with nuclear and smaller families on the rise, even in smaller cities. Apartment living offers more comfort, convenience, and security. But it may be a little tough to have everything that you want in a compact residence.
But don’t worry, we have some handy tips for you; multipurpose furniture and smart storage ideas that will ensure more space and less clutter.
Coffee Table Cum Display Case
Let’s start with the living room. A coffee table with a compartment to display small curios, miniature silver cutlery, and souvenirs, topped with glass to highlight them, is one of the 5 best furniture ideas for your luxury home in Thrissur. By adding an open shelf below that, you can also use this coffee table as storage for magazines and newspapers.
Nesting Furniture
Nesting stools, tables or chairs can be stacked on top of each other or fit into each other so that it looks like one compact piece of furniture. As such furniture is usually made of cheaper material like plywood, MDF, or plastic, it is a good idea as budget furniture for your first apartment in Thrissur. This can be in the living or dining room.
Drop-Leaf Tables
Drop leaf tables have parts on either side, which drop down, or can be propped up with hinges to make it smaller or bigger as per your requirements. This is good for the kitchen, where you can use it as a counter, or for the dining room where you can have flexible seating.
Pull-out Kitchen Table
Extendable dining tables differ from drop-leaf tables in the sense that they can simply be pulled out, something like the keyboard holders in computer desks, and retracted when not needed. These are great for compact dining rooms, and can also be used as kitchen countertops.
Foldable Dining Table
Wall mounted foldable dining tables let you use all the floor space in the room when you’re not dining. There are also portable foldable tables, which can be pulled out (with drop leaves), and also have storage below, for cutlery and napkins.
Sofa-cum-Bed
Sofa-cum beds are very practical for flats. They function as normal sofas with double cushioning during the day. If you have extra people to sleep at night, you simply pull it out and spread the cushions to make a bed with a mattress. These also have storage under the top, so you can keep extra pillows, cushions, sheets, etc.
Beds with Storage
Beds with drawers, hydraulic lifts, or simple ‘lids’ can double up as beds and storage spaces. All your big suitcases, extra mattresses, towels, sheets, winter wear, rain wear, and anything else you need to store, like shoes, holiday decor, and so on, can easily go in there.
Murphy Beds
Murphy beds can retract into the wall when you don’t need them. This means you can have the whole floor free to do whatever you want, like practice dance, yoga, martial arts, or anything else.
Bunk Beds
Bunk beds are amazing for younger children. It saves floor space, so they have empty space to play during the day. Climbing up and down also gives them a sense of adventure. You can also have a loft bed for a single child, with a study desk below it, so that the child gets a lot of free space for his or her play and creative activities.
Glass Shelves cum Room Dividers
If you have to divide a room into two for the children, placing glass shelves between their beds is a smart choice. It offers transparency, along with privacy and ownership of their own space. These shelves can be used to store books, their artwork, and timetables etc.
Benches with Storage
Long cushioned benches with cabinets underneath that function as shoe racks are great for compact homes. In fact, you can use the space to store tools, umbrellas, and other items that you need to grab quickly.
