Really, right? And you can buy nice ones pre-made already if you don't like the standard box ones most homes (in America, anyways) come with. It's a conversation piece is all it is.
Nvm cost of living always on rise, property prices/higher rents and the associated repairs/maintenance of bigger dwellings, etc. Getting a bigger space isnt always the option if trying to save or invest for later. Long term these are cheaper even more so if you can build them vs getting a bigger domicile. Meaning they might want a smaller space for cheaper everything else.
There's always this kind of comment in this kind of videos. 1. A bigger house is not always a option 2. As someone mentioned above, in the long run a compact furniture is cheaper than rent a huge house
1:53 That's fun and all, but my problem with these huge "folding furniture" things is that even when fold them in to 'safe space', you still have to keep everything around it empty for when you DO fold it out, literally saving no space at all.
The folding beds are actually nice if you live in a small flat and need that space during the day. Or if you have a kid in a small room and want him to have more space to play around. Sure, you'll need to open up the space when going to bed, but the rest of the time you have all that space. Again, this is of course assuming you need that space. If you don't, then yes, there's really no point having one of those.
@@skaruts That might actually provide a pretty damn good excuse to get your kids to clean their bedroom... "You can't go to bed until you clean your room, because you need the space to pull your bed out. GOOD LUCK!"

Big dollar signs indeed! The only one that I would spend on would be the Dreambox / Workbox item. Because I have a ridiculous amount of painting supplies and craft stuff to store and don't want it visible all the time -- or taking up space. It's a really good idea and, to me, would be worth the investment.
I know, this thing drives me nuts. The worst of both worlds - intermittent shelves that can't be used for any kind of storage and a table that doesn't have a continuous flat surface. If you need a folding table, get a damn folding table and store it against a wall when it's not in use.
@@rcb3921 on no - you simply CANT have people knowing you use a fold up table, and store it against a wall when not in use to save space - what on earth will people think of you??? i can go to bunnings, a camping store or heck, even kmart, and get a fold up table for under $50 (australian $). ..
Here's an idea, why don't companies actually invent furniture like this for the poor, instead of always having the rich in mind. Thrust me, creating for the poor actually increases your chances of your furniture actually being bought.
Yeah but like... but like... would you rather make products for people who can give you money, or people who can't? It's a neat idea, if you've never run a business before. But the difference between a business and a charity is that a business's goal is to make a profit.
@@WoFDarkNewton I 100% agree, however I think Kat was commenting on a lower price will generate more sales. Even if it's not for the poor, the price tags of $8000+ for some of these items is pretty ridiculous (especially the mirror one), and could definitely be made for closer to $500 - $1000, depending on what it is.
@@kshitijghormade584 There is a marble spiral staircase that is still standing, built in aprox. 133A.D. This isn't the first spiral staircase, as spiral staircases are believed to be have been in use over 3000 years ago. Medieval castles had spiral staircases, their stair cases were designed & built to aide the fighters during battle(staircases were built in a clockwise direction so enemies couldn't swing their swords properly as most were right-handed, &when they were able to lift their arms to strike after rounding a curve,they fully exposed themselves&ended up victims) There is speculation that Da Vinci either designed or influenced the design of a staircase in the Chateau of Chambord, only because he was living in the vicinity.
My grandparents built their house in 1959, and it had all kinds of interesting details: under stair drawers, a central vacuum system, a 2nd kitchen in the basement, and a half bath/walk-in closet in the master.
I think I've seen something like that before. Yep, I have. It's called my bathroom medicine cabinet. Shelves with mirrored doors that slide out of the way.
It's less useful than a medicine cabinet and its design with a bunch of holes drilled for wooden pegs to hang keys upon is rather absurd since this shallow mirrored cabinet should be located where people need to use the mirror. Adding keys to the mix further reduces the places where this white elephant of a $4000 wooden and space inefficient medicine cabinet can go. It's no good in bathrooms because those already have their own wall-mounted mirrors. Its maker is really arrogant to market such a thing at $4000 because such a simple product at such a high price is also tantamount to a sneer at normal people. I'm rather disappointed at "Be Amazed" for hosting such a product advertising video.
And since they're triangular, they are literally double the necessary tread at the deepest point. They don't save space. Not only is it bad design, it doesn't even deliver the o.n.e. promise it made 💀
I thought it was a really clever and practical design that would be excellent for people with one leg that's 8" shorter than the other. Unfortunately they'd need two staircase - one for going up and one for going down. And a colossal insurance policy if they ever have guests over. Other than that, it's genius.
11:33 And that is a good example of why you don't call a architect to do a engineering job. Corners are where the pillars that support the second floor/hoof are hidden.
@@mickk8519 Me 2... Its over complicating something simple and adding unnecessary costs. It also limits what you can construct above that point unless you add more structural beams (more unnecessary costs). Its doable? Yes. Should you do it? No.
True, that door is just senseless in a normal house. speaking of normal house, i have no idea what you are talking about. i live in a proper house with a concrete cellar and stone walls...
Weeeeeellllll I like the idea of bringing something so standard back into the light a bit. I mean yes, it's probably standard for the reasons you stated, but I think maybe it could answer the weird one-off questions. Not an engineer, but if it can be done, maybe there is a niche market for it to be applicable.
0:28 OK, I want to provide a counter-argument against the "Swing" dining-table/shelving unit. Right the dining table goes unused for 21 hours and what-not. *However* how many times are you going to convert a shelving-unit to dining-table *just* by rotating the thing? It's a *shelf* right? OK, now you want to *eat* -- so what do you with all the *stuff on the shelf?* You have to *put it somewhere* right? *And that takes time **_and_** extra space.* Then after you're finished eating and put the dishes away, now you convert it back to a shelf, and put all your junk back on it. *And that also takes time.* I hear somebody say, "wait a sec, Unca Boat ... the dishes are just stored on the shelf!" *No.* Dishes are stacked together until they take less space than even a single shelf. Unless you're *showing off your dishes* there is going to be absolutely no practical use for this. And what kind of crazy fashionista bothers showing off the dishes they use for eating? I predict somebody will buy this thing coz it's cute, and really, it's very cute, but they aren't going to put to serious use for longer than a couple of weeks, a month at most. Who's got the time (and unused extra space) to be moving their shelf contents all around the house just because they want to sit down to a meal? Wonderful fodder for a video, horrible idea in real life.
It's definitely for niche market place. I personally would use it because I hardly eat with people but need a table for planning and designing when I'm working on artwork for a few hours and use reference books. At the end I place my documents away and books in the shelf mode. I already utilize a transforming table but it doesn't become a shelf it becomes just a smaller coffee table but same premise I leave my reference books on there with my documents. The table I have is a simpler "Castro" table. I think the swing would work better for me and due to covid I guess I could host in apt dinner dates since hardly any restaurants are open.
Can you imagine having people around and while you're all sitting at the table someone knocks the mechanism that changes it back to a shelf. Unless you only make sure you set your table so that things you place on it are wholly within each section, that would be a recipe for disaster.
@@SimonSideburns this is exactly what i predict will happen! people knock things over all the time (glasses get knocked over while dining), so i'm pretty sure someone will knock the mechanism and disturb your meal. same goes for those space saver beds, people have died from accidentally knocking the mechanism, while lying on the bed. yikes. and don't even let me get started on the unsafe stairs
@@twinkle3474 The table problem could easily be fixed by having a mechanism where you need to use both hands. It is unlikely you'll get two mechanism accidentally knocked at the same time.
it could kind of work as a work table, though. keep the stuff you use for working in the shelf, open the table when you need to use it, make it work kind of like the workbox for crafters. that can work for art stuff and electronic stuff i guess.
9:54 okay, I'll admit it looks cool, but let's be honest, it's useless. What's the point of having a desk where I could put things on that sinks and gets wet? Plus, I'd have to wait for it to transform for 10 secs before I could wash my blood-stained hands from my assasination jobs, and that's not very efficient
Yes, but do they also have a desk attached? Ahh, think about that! Okay, seriously though, anyone can now add the same thing to their murphy beds, lol.
I just dont really trust Murphy beds, only way I might trust it is if it took a good amount of force to bring to the wall position, like enough force that you dont need pistons to assist putting it up
The swing table is actually idiotic. Unless you plan on constantly rearranging whatever you store on it in order to use it for eating, you are going to leave it in one configuration or the other. And while the specific layout of items on it in the video fit nicely when you swap it, I'd wager that most people wouldn't be able to do that.
I would'nt say idiotic but definitely less useful as they show you. But turning a dining table into a shelf, even with the rearranging can be pretty handy depending on your living space. If you don't have much room having a shelf that can turn into a table can be great if you have guests over.
I don't know about constantly rearranging to be honest, push the sewing machine inwards as well as the pins, clipper scissors, and put the fabrics aside and vola (at least out of experience). But that my issue with it looks like the space is small and you can't put it in a small room since it folds out. Secondly, that's nice and all but there is no space for cutting the material or making patterns sooo probably other crafts?
I don't have a problem with the idea, but it seems to me like those steps in the picture still take the same space that two normal steps would. Though I still agree with your observation. lol
They are. Stairs are one of the few inventions that was done right the first time. Any changes in even mundane things like the step size can cause you to miss a step or trip.
Did you know, that with these "super smart space corner" drawers, the exact amount of space you win in the corner, you loose on the straigt sides? Besides, you have odd shaped drawers in which it's more difficult to store regular shaped objects. "aesthetic" is not always synonymous for "smart"
I loved those as I have a corner cabinet that is just a big void of useless space. I virtually have to climb into it to get things from the back. I want those draws please.
Yup, it takes two drawers in exchange for one that is only slightly bigger than one of the originals. And there's still about the same wasted space around it.
Yes, the point isn't that this is completely useless, it's just that: I've already seen BETTER solutions in corners. Solutions that yield more space than this idea. I was very underwhelmed when I saw that. How did this idea get to be in a video when there's already better ideas out there that deserve this spot more. hmm.
I'd would like to see the designer of those stairs, coming down the stairs with a laundry basket held in front. Another Darwin award winner for certain.
thank you so much for showing the actual thumbnail things, i hate those channels that show things in the thumbnail and never actually show them in the videos
I put one of those on my closet door and put the litter box in there. It's out of the way and people don't see it when they visit. Everyone thinks i broke it like that though.
I think the key idea was an escape for kitty from doggo. I thought: just cut it, and trim it out. You could always make a hinged flap with a slide latch to lock it in place to close it off.
The advantage of flaps is that they let pets in and out, while not letting anything else in and out. Drafts, smells, noises (maybe), etc. I'm not sure the Kitty Corner improves things much over just leaving doors open. But it costs 40 bucks more.
"Space Corner" perfectly illustrates my problem with these types of designs. Geometrically, you get the EXACT SAME amount of drawer space as you would with two conventional drawers in the same position. Also, you get those acute-angle corners at the front of the drawer that are basically wasted space if you want to store large items. That leaves two possibilities - that this extremely obvious flaw was missed in every stage of its design, OR the designers were aware of it and are just trying to sell quirky but useless shlt for high prices. A basic lazy susan cabinet is FAR more effective.
Corner storage under cabinets. Lazy Susan's have been around for who knows how long. Nearly every one of these is just a complicated way to separate people from their money.
Exactly what I was thinking. I've never had it, but I've seen it in movies since forever. EDIT: actually, now that I think about it, my kitchen's storage-room-thing fills the whole space under my stairs. lol
@@AtomixKingg you just need to think about the space between 2 cabinet at the corner in normal design. And then compare it with the combination of space between the corner cabinet and 2 next to it in the new design.
I don't see why they couldn't just put a sheet of glass instead. Glass is used as a load bearing surface quite a bit and is quite strong at the right thickness.
@@BrunodeSouzaLino Well thick glass like that would also be way more expensive to make, deliver and install. The netting looks super strong to me, imagine that if nets work for commercial fishing, it can work to hold one person up
Right, small stuff only. Pillows but no mattress. Maybe grab SEVERAL sleeping bags and stack them on top of each other. Otherwise you actually have to haul furniture up in parts and pieces and then construct it up there. Bed rails for a King Size? Nope, not up the spiral. Or, maybe use a crane and bring things in through the window...
If the sink is so advanced why doesn't it have a MOTION DETECTOR, as the local paper towel dispenser at the gas station has? "Pressing a button" is so '80s
Brushing teeth in that sink n also taking boogers out... And still using it as a table. Yucky!! 😀 And a table to do what in the bathroom. Study or breakfast? So.. I suppose it just gives a clean look. Can't be used as a table. 🙂 What ya say?
That giant hidden space in the sink will eventually fill up with sludgey mold and bacteria. So whenever that sink is used, it will send a big puff of germ laden air into the room. It's basically an unsanitary gimmick sink. No wonder why it is black in order to hide the germs and slime. The bar that slides across basically has germs build up on it. So each time it comes out to slide across the sink surface, it leaves a film of mold and bacteria on the surface. This type of sink is good only when new before it becomes gunked up with mold and bacteria.
Pardon me but I've never seen a room the size of the living cube, even in Taiwan where houses and apartments are expensive, the living cube would actually fit(prolly can't fit thru the door tho) and save quite a lot of space

Yeah, instead of opening & closing the corner of your door to let the cat through, you could just open the whole door to let the cat through - they usually let you know when they need a door-opener.
@@lenkacfk7155 I've not owned a cat in ages but when I did, I had two and they meowed VERY loudly at my door specifically (because one cat was given to me for my birthday and when the second one came along a few weeks later, my damn animal loving self just naturally fell into taking both in my room the most. So, my room became the room they enjoyed going to the most). I can't just ignore them because they'd wake the whole house but I hate sleeping with my door open. In fact, even the kitty corner thing shown here would be annoying to me, but better than leaving my door open. I usually ended up putting my foot down and making them stay in my room for the night. They were free to wander for a few minutes when I went to the bathroom (but never did they...those creepy cats would *always* be waiting for me in the dark for when I came out. It's weird to come out the bathroom to an audience, lol!), but then I'd scoop them up and take them back in the room.
It would require substantial reinforcement around the opening. A strong header, and structural support on either side would make it doable. It wouldn't be practical, but I think we can all agree that by the prices, practicality went out the window a long time ago.
There are two problems with all of these fancy space-saving furnitures. First: They are priced at a level that the only people who can afford them are people who can also afford a bigger flat/house. Second: Furniture designed to be rearranged during the day according to current needs do not work. There are even studies about it that show that people pretty much always end up leaving the furniture in the same, suboptimal configuration. So for example, not folding the bed to have a desk, but working in bed instead, etc. These things may look practical (at least some of them) but you just have to consider that using them correctly would require you to rearrange your home several times each day.
Exactly. And look at the scrapbox: two additional cabinets would have much more storage than those doors have, and they would only take the space that you have to always keep clear in order to open that thing. But then it's also like you're saying: if you're active in your hobby every day, then you'd probably leave that thing open all the time.

I rented a duplex apartment in Buenos Aires with similar stairs to 12.47 of the video. Terrifying.... never, ever go up or down them drunk and you had to develop a special walking technique to use them!
My parents already had a fold up double size bed in the 70s that folded to the wall on the long side and sliding wooden doors hid the bed in daytime. I myself had a ingle steel frame bed that folded up the same way. From a huge shelf above it failed two curtains that hid the bed when it was up, but they also provided a tent like “secret” hiding place when the bed was down. I loved that! With a little torch imagining I was on holiday with my tent!
you also can´t put anything on it. I mean, you could, but it would probably fall into the sink the next time you want to wash your hands. Pretty inconvenient if you ask me
Hard to choose a favourite one. As a crafter, I was drooling at the scrapbox, but I also loved the doolight, the living cube, and the shape shifting bookshelf. The Lumio is rather special too. Some awesome inspiration here.
Just keep in mind that realistic usefulness is key, and saving space requires that things actually do realistically save space. The scrapbox is nice in concept, but doesn't save any space at all. You will want to have the space around it always clear and unused, or else you can't open it. But then, you might as well just have two additional cabinets there, which would have more storage space than the scrapbox's doors. And if you are active every day on your hobby, then you're probably not gonna close that thing ever, so. Those doors also extend too far from the sitting position to be practical. A corner piece might be a better idea. It's a nice concept, but could use some improvements. That shapeshifting bookshelf is completely pointless. It's a nightmare to put things on it because of all the gaps. Imagine placing a flower jar wrong on the gaps and not notice it in time. Besides, it's called "bookshelf" but... it can't actually hold books. It has no sides, and it's full of gaps. And then you can tediously turn it from a """bookshelf""" into a... not-bookshelf that still takes wall space. The living cube... I mean if you have the money to afford it and the space to fit it in your house, then you already live in a spacious house. And good luck dragging that thing out to clean up behind it. Don't even get me started on many of the others...
Lol I came here for the thumbnail as this was a recommended video from "How staircases killed so many Victorians" Hidden Killers: Absolute History channel 😆
Check out the hiddenbed, the single and double beds are actually usable with a full size office setup, not just a laptop. Anything 26, maybe it was 30 inches tall can say perfectly in place.
The Study Bed is also a great item that combines a bed and a desk. Bought one for my daughter in England so we can stay with them and use the old desk space. Don't even have to clear the desk.

Spiraling staircases have literally existed since the dark ages.
Da Vinci designed them
@@kshitijghormade584 There is a marble spiral staircase that is still standing, built in aprox. 133A.D. This isn't the first spiral staircase, as spiral staircases are believed to be have been in use over 3000 years ago. Medieval castles had spiral staircases, their stair cases were designed & built to aide the fighters during battle(staircases were built in a clockwise direction so enemies couldn't swing their swords properly as most were right-handed, &when they were able to lift their arms to strike after rounding a curve,they fully exposed themselves&ended up victims) There is speculation that Da Vinci either designed or influenced the design of a staircase in the Chateau of Chambord, only because he was living in the vicinity.

Where I don't see it🤔
My grandparents built their house in 1959, and it had all kinds of interesting details: under stair drawers, a central vacuum system, a 2nd kitchen in the basement, and a half bath/walk-in closet in the master.
$4,000 for a simple wooden box with round mirrors in it. People have some pretty big egos these days 🤦♂️
I think I've seen something like that before.
Yep, I have. It's called my bathroom medicine cabinet. Shelves with mirrored doors that slide out of the way.
It's less useful than a medicine cabinet and its design with a bunch of holes drilled for wooden pegs to hang keys upon is rather absurd since this shallow mirrored cabinet should be located where people need to use the mirror. Adding keys to the mix further reduces the places where this white elephant of a $4000 wooden and space inefficient medicine cabinet can go. It's no good in bathrooms because those already have their own wall-mounted mirrors. Its maker is really arrogant to market such a thing at $4000 because such a simple product at such a high price is also tantamount to a sneer at normal people. I'm rather disappointed at "Be Amazed" for hosting such a product advertising video.
At IKEA it would cost 40-50 bucks. (it is btw actually a product/solution IKEA would actually be interested in selling)
No joke. And it’s ugly too.

And since they're triangular, they are literally double the necessary tread at the deepest point. They don't save space. Not only is it bad design, it doesn't even deliver the o.n.e. promise it made 💀
It also doesn't save space either, it legit has the same slope as regular stairs that aren't diagonal
I thought it was a really clever and practical design that would be excellent for people with one leg that's 8" shorter than the other. Unfortunately they'd need two staircase - one for going up and one for going down. And a colossal insurance policy if they ever have guests over. Other than that, it's genius.

@@vitor900000 It may make things complicate, but it also opens up the possibility for better room design.
0:28 OK, I want to provide a counter-argument against the "Swing" dining-table/shelving unit. Right the dining table goes unused for 21 hours and what-not. *However* how many times are you going to convert a shelving-unit to dining-table *just* by rotating the thing? It's a *shelf* right? OK, now you want to *eat* -- so what do you with all the *stuff on the shelf?* You have to *put it somewhere* right? *And that takes time **_and_** extra space.*
Then after you're finished eating and put the dishes away, now you convert it back to a shelf, and put all your junk back on it. *And that also takes time.*
I hear somebody say, "wait a sec, Unca Boat ... the dishes are just stored on the shelf!" *No.* Dishes are stacked together until they take less space than even a single shelf. Unless you're *showing off your dishes* there is going to be absolutely no practical use for this. And what kind of crazy fashionista bothers showing off the dishes they use for eating?
I predict somebody will buy this thing coz it's cute, and really, it's very cute, but they aren't going to put to serious use for longer than a couple of weeks, a month at most. Who's got the time (and unused extra space) to be moving their shelf contents all around the house just because they want to sit down to a meal?
Wonderful fodder for a video, horrible idea in real life.
It's definitely for niche market place. I personally would use it because I hardly eat with people but need a table for planning and designing when I'm working on artwork for a few hours and use reference books. At the end I place my documents away and books in the shelf mode. I already utilize a transforming table but it doesn't become a shelf it becomes just a smaller coffee table but same premise I leave my reference books on there with my documents. The table I have is a simpler "Castro" table. I think the swing would work better for me and due to covid I guess I could host in apt dinner dates since hardly any restaurants are open.
Can you imagine having people around and while you're all sitting at the table someone knocks the mechanism that changes it back to a shelf.
Unless you only make sure you set your table so that things you place on it are wholly within each section, that would be a recipe for disaster.
@@SimonSideburns this is exactly what i predict will happen! people knock things over all the time (glasses get knocked over while dining), so i'm pretty sure someone will knock the mechanism and disturb your meal. same goes for those space saver beds, people have died from accidentally knocking the mechanism, while lying on the bed. yikes. and don't even let me get started on the unsafe stairs
@@twinkle3474 The table problem could easily be fixed by having a mechanism where you need to use both hands. It is unlikely you'll get two mechanism accidentally knocked at the same time.
it could kind of work as a work table, though. keep the stuff you use for working in the shelf, open the table when you need to use it, make it work kind of like the workbox for crafters. that can work for art stuff and electronic stuff i guess.
9:54 okay, I'll admit it looks cool, but let's be honest, it's useless. What's the point of having a desk where I could put things on that sinks and gets wet?

The swing table is actually idiotic. Unless you plan on constantly rearranging whatever you store on it in order to use it for eating, you are going to leave it in one configuration or the other. And while the specific layout of items on it in the video fit nicely when you swap it, I'd wager that most people wouldn't be able to do that.
I would'nt say idiotic but definitely less useful as they show you. But turning a dining table into a shelf, even with the rearranging can be pretty handy depending on your living space. If you don't have much room having a shelf that can turn into a table can be great if you have guests over.
Most people wouldn't be able to replicate the setup with a few bowls and a centerpiece?
I agree. Same with the ScrapBox. It's fine and obviously saves space when its closed. But its a different story when you open it.
I don't know about constantly rearranging to be honest, push the sewing machine inwards as well as the pins, clipper scissors, and put the fabrics aside and vola (at least out of experience). But that my issue with it looks like the space is small and you can't put it in a small room since it folds out. Secondly, that's nice and all but there is no space for cutting the material or making patterns sooo probably other crafts?
Idc i want it😏
I love most of these, but I'm not paying 4K for an enhanced medicine cabinet
"Enhanced" implies better functionality. That thing has less storage space than your average cheap cabinet...

Though I still agree with your observation. lol
@@gerry5712 the people that can afford the kinds of things in this video are not the kind of people that have to worry about building inspectors.
They are. Stairs are one of the few inventions that was done right the first time. Any changes in even mundane things like the step size can cause you to miss a step or trip.
Did you know, that with these "super smart space corner" drawers, the exact amount of space you win in the corner, you loose on the straigt sides? Besides, you have odd shaped drawers in which it's more difficult to store regular shaped objects. "aesthetic" is not always synonymous for "smart"
I thought the exact same thing. How did that actually get produced when the idea is quite so easily refuted?
I loved those as I have a corner cabinet that is just a big void of useless space. I virtually have to climb into it to get things from the back. I want those draws please.
Yup, it takes two drawers in exchange for one that is only slightly bigger than one of the originals. And there's still about the same wasted space around it.
Yes, the point isn't that this is completely useless, it's just that: I've already seen BETTER solutions in corners. Solutions that yield more space than this idea. I was very underwhelmed when I saw that. How did this idea get to be in a video when there's already better ideas out there that deserve this spot more. hmm.

"Space Corner" perfectly illustrates my problem with these types of designs. Geometrically, you get the EXACT SAME amount of drawer space as you would with two conventional drawers in the same position. Also, you get those acute-angle corners at the front of the drawer that are basically wasted space if you want to store large items. That leaves two possibilities - that this extremely obvious flaw was missed in every stage of its design, OR the designers were aware of it and are just trying to sell quirky but useless shlt for high prices. A basic lazy susan cabinet is FAR more effective.
great ideas are lost when overpriced but can't wait for the knockoffs.

There are two problems with all of these fancy space-saving furnitures. First: They are priced at a level that the only people who can afford them are people who can also afford a bigger flat/house. Second: Furniture designed to be rearranged during the day according to current needs do not work. There are even studies about it that show that people pretty much always end up leaving the furniture in the same, suboptimal configuration. So for example, not folding the bed to have a desk, but working in bed instead, etc. These things may look practical (at least some of them) but you just have to consider that using them correctly would require you to rearrange your home several times each day.
Exactly. And look at the scrapbox: two additional cabinets would have much more storage than those doors have, and they would only take the space that you have to always keep clear in order to open that thing. But then it's also like you're saying: if you're active in your hobby every day, then you'd probably leave that thing open all the time.

4000 USD for a mirror? lol
You should reflect on your decision.
But you can store things behind the mirror!

_It’s a Medicine Cabinet.._
@@prva9347 or, you just get a cheap standard mirror pane from a thrift shop and use a diamond tipped glass cutting tool and a suction cup ended set of calipers to cut it to shape yourself.
6:37 did you see the kamen rider figures
Most of these stuff is so overpriced as per there need
The mirror is cool but for $4000 I'd make it. I really don't need the brand name on that one! ;)
I feel like all the ingenuity in the design is lost with the price
@@lerquian1970 yeah. It's more like a display than actually useful
T.C. You could build it for maybe $150, including all the wood and both mirrors needed. It’s a waste of money. They could have sold it for under $1000.
That double bunk sofa is genius, but there's no way you're getting me to sleep on the bottom with those skinny hinges. 😂
Most of these are only convenient in smaller homes, but if you have a smaller home that means you probably cant afford any of these
6:26 If I can afford 4000 dollar piece of furniture I wouldn't be living in small house 🙃🙃
lmfao same, I was thinking if i bought that cube house for 50k instead of an actual house for 500k i might be in luck but then i would not where to put it xDD, they really didn't design it to be outdoors xD
You probably don't live in a city where the square meter cust 2k dollars/month
@@AramatiPaz That's an exaggeration.
@@AramatiPaz says mr. Richy
@@CardZed Just stop.
All of these things are for critically small homes, but the prices are for people who can buy a damn mansion!
Like... Wtf?
We the poor need this kind of stuff, living in 10 square meters apartments ☹️
No, you actually save more space if you don't even buy these stuffs
@@callmeandoru2627 Lol, no. You actually need more infrastructure for more space, example: I could have lots of shoes, ordered in a neatly manner if I had several racks. Instead of just making piles on the floor with no racks.
I've learned this over and over, I move houses pretty much every year.
cubatat:
yo dawg, we heard you like homes, so we put a home in yo home!
Oooh! Two homes in one! Thanks, Cubatat! 😀
An inside out home! 😄

"mum wheres my laptop?"
"idk hunny check under the bed, thats where you left it last time"
1:54 Don't have space for all the crap you have, but buys a flexible wardrobe that needs even more space to unfold. Genius.
9:41 Good thing Harry Potter had to live in the cupboard under the stairs and not the storage cube under the stairs.
How does this comment not have more likes
Do not get drunk going up or down these stairs
Ray Mak u r everywhere
This is like playing “hop scotch “ on a stair case - hope someone had good insurance going up and DOWN this bright idea.
Ray Mak I see ur comments everywhere
I rented a duplex apartment in Buenos Aires with similar stairs to 12.47 of the video. Terrifying.... never, ever go up or down them drunk and you had to develop a special walking technique to use them!
12:47
Those treads are an accident waiting to happen. As a home inspector, I’d call them out as hazardous and recommend replacement.
2:48 a literal double decker couch.
Right
That's exactly what I was thinking....so Emmit had it right all along.🤯
But those are bed's not two couches so no stop

My parents already had a fold up double size bed in the 70s that folded to the wall on the long side and sliding wooden doors hid the bed in daytime. I myself had a ingle steel frame bed that folded up the same way. From a huge shelf above it failed two curtains that hid the bed when it was up, but they also provided a tent like “secret” hiding place when the bed was down. I loved that! With a little torch imagining I was on holiday with my tent!
2:22 Wait... isn't that the double decker couch from the lego movie
yes omg i was just gonna say that
Why don't you just declare this is a lengthy ad instead of making it sound like a legit video
That shape-shifting sink would look well weird when you've had a few beers too many :-D
They should use it on futuristic film sets!
Would have been great in Star Trek, TNG
you also can´t put anything on it. I mean, you could, but it would probably fall into the sink the next time you want to wash your hands. Pretty inconvenient if you ask me
Hard to choose a favourite one. As a crafter, I was drooling at the scrapbox, but I also loved the doolight, the living cube, and the shape shifting bookshelf. The Lumio is rather special too. Some awesome inspiration here.
same
Just keep in mind that realistic usefulness is key, and saving space requires that things actually do realistically save space. The scrapbox is nice in concept, but doesn't save any space at all. You will want to have the space around it always clear and unused, or else you can't open it. But then, you might as well just have two additional cabinets there, which would have more storage space than the scrapbox's doors. And if you are active every day on your hobby, then you're probably not gonna close that thing ever, so. Those doors also extend too far from the sitting position to be practical. A corner piece might be a better idea. It's a nice concept, but could use some improvements.
That shapeshifting bookshelf is completely pointless. It's a nightmare to put things on it because of all the gaps. Imagine placing a flower jar wrong on the gaps and not notice it in time. Besides, it's called "bookshelf" but... it can't actually hold books. It has no sides, and it's full of gaps. And then you can tediously turn it from a """bookshelf""" into a... not-bookshelf that still takes wall space.
The living cube... I mean if you have the money to afford it and the space to fit it in your house, then you already live in a spacious house. And good luck dragging that thing out to clean up behind it.
Don't even get me started on many of the others...
Hmm... most of these so called ingenious designs are just crazy. The only one I think that has merit is the under stair storage.
i like the book light to.
its not crazy but its cool!
The book light is definitely my favorite.Cheaper then all of the ones in the video too
@@ashleykwong3663 also I think the double decker couch would be usefull if you are a collage student and you don't waant to waste space on 2 beds
I liked the corner door. My mom is disabled and it's a severe pain to get a wheelchair in thru a regular door.
My house actually has the stair storage thing, it’s pretty useful
Lol I came here for the thumbnail as this was a recommended video from "How staircases killed so many Victorians" Hidden Killers: Absolute History channel 😆
I've always wanted a wall bed with a desk, but I loved the portable lighting options!
Check out the hiddenbed, the single and double beds are actually usable with a full size office setup, not just a laptop. Anything 26, maybe it was 30 inches tall can say perfectly in place.
The Study Bed is also a great item that combines a bed and a desk. Bought one for my daughter in England so we can stay with them and use the old desk space. Don't even have to clear the desk.
Re: the most 'liked' comment- People who sell things only engage those who have money.
I liked that comment too. I'm here to just witness the ingenuity of the products whether I can afford them or not.
Take heart; Soon there will be knockoffs of most of these designs.
Would you sleep on the bottom bunk in a knock-off version of that double-decker couch?
@@stephdiaz5363 I agree wholeheartedly with the principle you are showing to me. However, whatever source is responsible for the construction of these items should of course be subject to stringent safety regulations if they are true to the inherent ingenuity of the design specs, plus materials.
1:12 - The Modular Chandelier is a good idea.
2:38 - Folding Bunkbeds seems pretty cool, if it works.
5:41 - Loft Space Safety Net looks fun.
12:18 - Space Saving Stairs
2:38 I'd be afraid they would fold back down as doon as someone got on the top bunk and I'd get squished!
Why does nobody know how HARD it is for people with long feet to climb normal stairs?!? Having those stairs would be a merciful blessing!!!
You can climb normal stairs two steps at a time pretty easily. I do.
@@skaruts long feet man.. got nothing to do with the number of stairs,.. it was a reference to the depth of the tread...
"And for those who really like to blow money, here is a $12,000 cube that takes the place of a $25 milk crate.
Correction: free milk crate.
Murphy beds have been around for years as have the convertible furniture in Europe/Asia but glad to see it coming to the US. The 'living cube' sort of thing is a must in small HK flats. Love that design continues to evolve.
For $2,199!
*spoken with great confidence, well done dude.*
Oh no. This is amazing. I am AMAZED
Joshuasss98M1nt - I’m amazed half of these items are considered useful to their target audience (namely, people needing small space considerations).
The last picture of the overlapping stares actually have exciting for awhile, back in Europe it was believed witches couldn’t climb those kinds of stair so some houses were built with them, the one shown in the video is just a new more modern design
8:10 The interactive bookshelf that serves no purpose when up and is useless for books when down... it even looks dumb.
That staircases at 12:30 is a trial lawyer’s wet dream. When you fall off and crack your spine you can sue the owner AND whoever designed this thing.
You might be able to carefully go up them. But you're not going to be able to come down them without hanging onto something.
And there's not even a rail to grab on to. LoL
I wish regular people could buy this stuff, people'd love it. These ideas are simply brilliant!
2:28 elevate sofa sleeper. Indian trains(which have been having those for decades): allow us to introduce ourselves
What others see: elevate Soffa sleeper
What I see: double decker couch
You're so much smarter than others and yet you can't spell sofa.
