Small spaces can be a challenge, but the following furnishings are up to making them usable, beautiful, and comfortable.

We have to start with Tumidei’s On/Off Alcova Wall Unit, a fabulous piece designed from the ground up to maximize the use of space. This beautiful integrated unit can be configured to expand into a bed, bench, or wardrobe to provide a dual-use piece that’s ideal for flex rooms and compact places where every square foot counts.
The Bowie Comfort Sleeper from American Leather is the gold standard of pullout beds, with a slim profile that saves space when used as a couch, and a pullout bed that stays high off the ground for a more comfortable sleep. Ideal for transforming a smaller living room or any side room into a comfortable guest room. Your biggest issue here will be getting your guests to leave!

Sturdy, built-in wings are attached by chromed metal mechanisms and tucked under the table as part of the design, not hidden or recessed.
