We determine the design and construction
Furniture-transformer is an invention that was widely used in small apartments, where it was impossible to install “full-fledged” sofas, beds, tables. There were a great number of such small-sized apartments.
However, over time, it was also noticed by those who have spacious enough rooms, but are used to minimalism or want to fill their dwelling with light and air as much as possible.
Transformers not only allow to realize these tasks, but also solve another issue: the originality of the interior and the scope for design ideas. With the help of such furniture you can turn:
- bedroom - in the living room, and - vice versa;
- bed-wardrobe - in a cozy sofa;
- berth - in part of the wall space;
- a small chest, which takes up very little space - in a small table with ottoman.
Space for various design solutions provides the use of modular furniture as an independent element, or together with other types of transformational:
- folding;
- retractable;
- rising (folding).
With the help of various design solutions, including “endangered,” you can turn the living room into the nursery by evening, and in the small kitchen, “hide” the dining table after the meal.
A nursery or an office can be equipped with a sofa or a full-sized berth, next to which there will appear cabinets and shelves assembled from various modules.
They will decorate the room, perform functional tasks and give special originality to the room.

To make a transforming bed with your own hands, you need to move step by step, without missing any important points of preparation and execution of work.
You need to start with the choice of the location of the product, after which you can begin to make a sketch, and then - drawing.
After choosing the design of the product, clarifying its size and drawing up a drawing, you can proceed to manufacturing. Let's try to make a bed - a wardrobe. Despite the apparent complexity, it is not very difficult to make it. The main problem is the large size.
Instruction
- Material is selected and dimensions are made.
- A sketch is drawn up, a drawing is made.
- The frame can be used from an old bed or ordered in a furniture factory or in a workshop. The berth is defined in sizes 180x200.
- In order to remain one base, the slats are removed from it.
- The frame is installed on the bars
- On the blanks of the cabinet is marking under the side.
- All parts of the structure are joined.
- Fixed top panel.
- Then the construction is fixed on the wall.
- After mounted frame bed with a lifting mechanism and springs.
- Now you can connect both parts of the transformer, returning the lamella to its original place.
- The final stage - the fastening of the facade.
Council Instead of a bar, you should not install the base on standard legs for furniture, because they can not withstand the weight of the structure.
To translate the bed in a horizontal position, you need to install the handles and use them.
Attention! The facade should be combined with the furniture in the room. As for the hardware, its location is not significant.
