7 Clever Convertible Furniture Ideas That Transform Your Spaces
1. The Hutch That Becomes a Dining Table for Six
This slender hutch expands into a table with enough space to comfortably seat 6 people. It's a great option for times when extra company requires additional dining space, or for smaller areas that don't need a big table most of the time.
Currently in the $550 to $750 range at Wayfair.
2. The "Just a Chest of Drawers" Murphy Bed
One of the nice things about this Detravious fold-out Murphy Bed style is that it can be placed against a wall that has windows without blocking any of the light, unlike a traditional pull-down Murphy Bed that covers the entire wall.
There's storage available in one drawer, while the others contain the mattress and bed setup.
Currently in the $580 to $1,300 range at Wayfair.
3. The Versatile Coffee Table With Two Secret Identities
This Chumani convertible coffee table is one of a number of styles that transform into a laptop desk version
and a full table suitable for board games or informal meals. (They tend to be a little low for regular dining.)
Currently around $200 to $400 at Wayfair.
4. A Fold-Out Computer Desk That Becomes Art
Pith and Stem's gorgeous Classic wall-mounted computer stations double as artwork when they're folded closed. Their Light version has a more standard shelf support mechanism and comes with the option for a paintable surface, whereas the Classic comes with art from their selection or customized by you.
Currently around $500 to $1,500 at Pith and Stem. (Ships from the U.K.)
5. The Ingenious Bunk Bed Couch
This unassuming Dormire Couch unfolds into a bunk bed setup, resulting in an enormously efficient use of space. Most reviewers say the unfolding mechanism is surprisingly easy to use. The upper bunk gets locked in place with the ladder for safety.
6. A Handy Chair That's Also a Ladder

Not every highly useful idea needs to be a big investment! This sturdy chair folds out into a step stool, which makes it a great gift for people who often need one to reach items in the home but who don't like the clutter of having a stool around all the time. (The ladder version of this chair can also double as a display rack.)
Currently around $99 at Amazon.
7. The Little Ottoman That Becomes Seating for Five

This ottoman is made up of nested stools, so it can be used as a footrest or as seating for up to five people. It's a useful option when people who sometimes need chairs for guests don't have a lot of space to store them. (Some reviewers mention that the seat height is a bit lower than ideal for a standard dining table.)
Currently around $190 at Amazon.
