13. Furniture with Multiple Uses
In Tiny Homes Living and Van Life, one of the most popular ways to save space is by using furniture that is used for multiple purposes. Beds turn into kitchen tables. Desks turn into kitchen countertops. The entire space is meant to transform with every purpose you need for living. Obviously, these tiny homes and vans are built from the ground up, designed to be as functional as possible. Even if you can’t replicate this in an apartment, you can still find pieces of furniture that serve two purposes.

For example, a high quality kitchen island can be used for prepping food, eating your meal, storing pots and pans, and working on your laptop. Some L-shaped couches have a pull-out function that turns the entire piece of furniture into a bed. There are also modern multi-functional pieces that can be purchased from a designer, if you have the money and motivation to buy them.
