Guest Picks: Space-Saving Multipurpose Furniture

My family is gearing up for some major downsizing this spring, so making the most of every square foot is at the top of my mind. That means we need more floor space, more storage and less clutter. Here are 20 stylish and savvy multipurpose furniture pieces that would be useful for anyone with space restrictions. — Kim from NewlyWoodwards

Hemnes Shoe Cabinet With 2 Compartments, Black/Brown - $129 I have this shoe cabinet in the entry, and it’s my favorite piece of furniture in the house. It stores all my family’s shoes and has a tiny footprint. Plus, it has a drop zone on top for keys and a drawer for miscellaneous items.


Madison Bifold Bookcase Bed Murphy beds are a great way to save floor space if you don’t use the bed frequently. I love that this version looks like a beautiful bookcase. You slide out the middle shelves to reveal a full bed.


Hemnes Daybed Frame With 3 Drawers - $299 Would you believe that this inexpensive piece of furniture includes a twin bed, a king bed and storage? It’s a wonderful solution for guest bedrooms or living rooms.


InLine Murphy Bed and InLine Sofa - $2,584 A sofa and a full Murphy bed? This is a great option for homes that are extra tight on space.


Rustic Storage Coffee Table - $499 Some storage coffee tables look primarily like storage. This rustic version from West Elm looks like a beautiful coffee table, and it just happens to offer lot of storage too.


Ocean Blue Storage Ceramic Garden Stool Seat - $282 I love the gorgeous blue of this ceramic garden stool. It’s a pretty piece of pottery that would make a great end table or extra seating. Plus, this one has hidden storage. Buy on Houzz


Underbed Play Table With Drawers - GBP 150 This is a brilliant solution for trains, cars and blocks (in other words, every small toy you step on in the middle of the night). The top panel provides plenty of play space, the drawer provides ample storage, and the entire piece can slide under the bed for safekeeping.


Carolina Grow With You Craft Table - $239 With a train-obsessed toddler in my house, this table is my dream come true. It provides ample play space, has a roll of paper for artwork and has storage in the rolling bins underneath. And it’s neutral, so it will match many room styles.


Martha Stewart Living Craft Space Chest, Picket Fence - $309 With this trunk, a home office isn’t even necessary. It holds important files, notes and supplies. And when it’s closed, it can easily feel at home in any room: in the bedroom at the end of a bed, in an entryway or in a guest space. It also can be used as seating.


Kitchen City Island With Pullout Table - $1,599 An island and a table — now you won’t have to give up an eat-in kitchen when you add an island.


Frontier Island Buffet With Pullout Table - $2,817 A full dining table folds up accordion-style into this gorgeous Amish-built hutch. It’s so amazing, it doesn’t even seem real. I love that it looks like a piece of heirloom-quality furniture when folded up.


The Bike Shelf - $299 For those without a garage, this shelf is a perfect way to store wheels in style.


White Alden Foldout Convertible Desk - $229.99 This desk folds up into the wall and also has storage space. Plus, you can add a photo or mirror on the underside of the desk for instant art when it’s closed.


Brio Wall Changing Table With Mattress, White - EUR 229 Do you ever see something and wonder why you never thought of it? This is that product for me. You can keep all your diaper-changing items stored away on the wall, and it’s easy to open to use as a changing table.


Household Essentials StowAway In-Wall Ironing Board, White - $199.99 A fold-up ironing board isn’t revolutionary, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t useful. This is a great way to store all your ironing tools right with the board.


Pet Studio Mahogany Litter Box Cabinet - $204.99 This is an excellent solution for hiding the litter box in plain sight. The traditional-style cabinet is pretty in its own right.


Photo Jewelry Armoire - $99.98 Is this a simple photo frame? Is it a jewelry organizer? It’s both! If you are a jewelry hoarder, like I am, having an organized space for it is a must.


Threshold Round Tufted Storage Ottoman, Blue/White Trellis - $69.99 This tufted storage ottoman would be great for a kids’ room. It’s perfect for putting feet up while reading stories, and it can hold toys, books or supplies.


Middle Plate Rack - GBP 125 This is such a great solution for anyone (like me, sob) without a dishwasher. Use the space above the sink to store and air-dry dishes.


Martha Stewart Living Craft Space Collapsible Craft Table - $499 This fold-up table is designed for a craft space, but it could work as a dining table or an office desk in a pinch too. It folds up to a compact size and easily expands to provide enough room for working, crafting or dining.
