    Day and Folding beds have few disadvantages: If You really want to use the extra space it provides, you really needs extend the bed into space, that's usually made for walking/standing (usable space) If you put one in bed-livingroom in corner, you're not gonna benefit, becuse you can't really use the extra space for anything. The second problem is putting two matrasses in top creates very big visual distraction, even in the video, you can see the bed is almost as high as pc table and even worse with higher mattrasses. For that reason, I hope IKEA can design some low profile day bed, similar to Fyrestal, but more comfortable.

    • @LeMacMac
      @LeMacMac 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +13

      my opinion of disadvantage of day beds is that the mattress becomes bended where you mostly sit while using the day bed as a couch, so it could be uncomfortable to sleep on an uneven mattress. same thing with pullout couches, what is designed for sitting upright is less compatible with sleeping horizontally. that's why I'll choose a combo of murphy bed and compatible couch

    Wonderful tips, thank you so much. One caveat; Tolix chairs are the most uncomfortable chairs, and I actively avoid restaurants that have them. Their narrow, grabby painful side rails and non-existent lumbar support put these off my list of options, despite their cool look. I know several other people who also avoid this chair for the same reasons.

    Chest beds are a variation of the Murphy bed. They fold out of, and into, a chest that looks like a normal console chest of drawers. They don't have to be bolted to the wall and are renter friendly.

    We have a Transformer Table with bench. Amazing piece of furniture. We can seat huge dinner groups and then shrink it down to a 4 person table.
    We also use it as an extra work space for visitors.

  • @Jlrc13
    @Jlrc13 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    I agree- whilst these items are great space savers, they are also not always practical or comfortable for daily use- and can require effort to build/ collapse or move around the room. I have the “ironing board” dining table and it weighs 80kg! I actively avoid using it and usually just eat casually on the sofa instead. The storage sofa (Ikea) is “ok” for a few years but quickly sags and isnt exactly the most comfortable everyday family couch. Had an ottoman bed and nearly lost a finger (it wasn’t hydraulic and had to be manually held up)- never again they are crazy dangerous.

    Hmmm, very interested to see your take on those toekick drawers. My diy version was to snap the pannels off, add those grey plastic ikea trays under and store canned goods on their side. My real pantry cabinet has space for 1-2 of each type of can but with this it's like I gained a whole new second pantry. It's not very user friendly to snap the pannels off and on but I do it once a month maybe so I'm willing to deal with the inconvenience. That said.... and upgrade would be nice. ^_^ Looking forward to your video.

    I don't really like the bed with drawers underneath as most of their designers do not account for the existence of a nightstand next to the bed. If you have a nightstand next to the bed this makes one of the drawers on each side unusable (unless you plan to move the nightstand every time you want to open the drawer).

    • @MaraMara89
      @MaraMara89 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      you either need to store rarely used items in there or you could search for bed where drawers are design to double as nightstands (usually drawer next to headboard is smaller and can be used as night stand when open, but can be easily closed with all the clutter if needed).
      The real issue is when you have tiny bedroom (as many Europeans do) and you can't open any drawer because bed is almost from wall to wall ;)

    Great vid and lots of food for thought.
    Being a chef/cook, I resolve many of these problems by closing off my kitchen as much as possible, while still handy to the service door and trash can. Cooking is just like any other work, WHO needs to chit chat while cooking?
    I have a "working kitchen", a lot like a wood shop. Functionality and hygiene is number one. I don't care what it looks like as long as I can get the job done.
    When I am in the kitchen, I have to concentrate on what I am doing and think ahead. If I am waiting for water to boil or a cake to bake, I busy myself with the next dish or just clean up after myself.
    Traditionally kitchens were the hub of social gathering, but not for me. There is a living room and dining room for that. If I had children to mind, then this would be different.
    I like glass table tops and do a lot of various work on my dining table, even paint is not a problem. For cleaning use 1/2 distilled water, and 1/2 rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle. Along with micro cloths. It takes me no longer than 4 minutes to wipe down 2 tables and 2 or 3 mirrors or windows.

      I'm not disagreeing, but for a coffee table I use a very small "floor study table" (no idea what it's really called, but that's what I call it) with folding legs, that I can easily make disappear under my loveseat, and it's a pretty good solution. I don't know how much table top area you would require, but it's a good solution also.

      @@MultiCappieThat's an excellent idea!
      And I hope it helps someone.
      But to clarify, with waste of space, I meant useless (in an exaggerated way), as the height places the table further away from me and makes it less useful as a table. E.G. the extra distance and body movements necessary, elevates the risk of spillage (especially when there are children involved).
      Not to mention that one time you walk into someone's glass top with your shin! :p

    Daniel's new daybed has a weak spot: the mattresses. They are thin and light, probably just light foam. That can be comfortable, but they wear out quickly. A viable solution for light children or if you just need one mattress.
    Daniel can't use standard mattresses because they would be to thick and also heavy.

    I like that ten person table a lot!!! For what it's worth, eating in the living room without tables is really not a bad idea and I bet that most people do it all the time. It makes a huge difference which dishes you use!!!! Pasta serving bowls are the absolute best choices to use!!! Their generous size (11"+ diameter) makes them super luxurious and you don't feel compromised or cramped at all when the food itself is served in such a roomy dish. You can pile the food in the pasta serving bowl any way you wish, and nothings going to spill or fall out because of the tall sides, the tall sides just make you feel safe while eating on the couch. The pasta serving bowls (serverware specifically, not "pasta bowls" meant for individual portions of pasta) are often found in the "coup" style, many are familiar with this. For soup and salad, of course, deep serving bowls are the ideal for eating on the couch! Whereas you can eat a dinner sized salad in the pasta serving bowl, a deeper serving bowl is still better for salads since the surface area of the sides of the bowl is more convenient for spearing salad items onto a fork, than would be the flatter bottom of the pasta serving bowl. Plus, as salad fixings often sink to the bottom of the bowl, a deeper bowl would make it easier to remix everything together than would be a flatter pasta serving bowl. But, to each his own!!! I am just saying that pasta serving bowls and deep serving bowls are the absolute most wonderful items to have to allow everyone to very comfortably and luxuriously eat in the living room!!! All you need is a place to put your drink and you are golden, that's what serving bowls do, as eating dishes, for small apartments!!! I just wanted to add this since this has been my own experience, and my guests love the luxury large bowls.

    I hate daybeds. You can't use them as a sofa because they are too deep and your knees don't bend at the edge. You have to put hige pillows on them to make them the width of a sofa, but even then your feet won't reach the floor. They are ok to use in a guest room that you also use as an office like he does.

    Daniel i think the folding furniture are the worst idea for small home... let me explain... yes, you can fold the furniture anytime you want, but how many will actually do that?... and also whenever you want to expand the table, you will need that much of free space to expand it... so everytime you fold and unfold your furniture, you will still need that amount of elbow room... for few times, it might sound good idea, but after few days of back and froth, you will just leave the furniture unfolded as it is... so foldable product are just too much of work which will end up occupying the same space which a fixed furniture will do... plus you cannot keep anything on the desk as it has to fold

    Yes, daybeds are kings. Mine is part of a small living room arrangement on a diy platform. Since my room height is generous, but not enough for a loft, I constructed a simple platform with two rows of cinder blocks decked with osb board. On top are rugs (and some adhesive vinyl paper in one part not covered by a rug). In the space under the platform I am storing construction and emergency items. The platform is about 2 x 4 meters (about 6,5 x 13 feet) and in addition to my daybed it houses two chairs, two sidetables, a small desk and a stool.

    I do always enjoy your videos. One little FYI though, just to share info, in regards to coffee table into dining table options, Amazon has SEVERAL styles of the hinge open variety for under $600 that do actually open up to both sides to form a square table, and some even have built in stools that come with them.

    Extendable tables are not new at all, and in rural Indiana we call them harvest tables. I inherited one that my grandmother bought at auction in the ‘60s. It looks like a demilune table, with a top that folds open into a square table, or you can extend it and add leaves to seat 8-10. It’s a very clever piece of furniture.

    Good day, Architect Daniel. I've been following your channel for the past months. Your designs are really great, impressive, and detailed.
    I'm from the Philippines and I'm planning to have a lofted house built next year. Your principles on minimalism and practicality, maximized multifunction spaces, multifunction space saving furniture, easy maintenance and cleaning, etc are also my considerations.
    Since budget is a main concern, I'd be reusing, recycling, upcycling furniture and items from my previous 4 bedroom house that I had to give up years ago because I got bankrupt.
    Is it ok if I tell you about my plans for the lofted tiny house?
    Thanks in advance and more power.

    As always, your advice is great! I love the way you give pros and cons then offer alternative suggestions. Super useful! I wish I'd had your TH-cam advice and these buying options when I was living in a studio apartment. We had the Internet but my searches always came up nil. Apartment Therapy online magazine was about the only thing available covering this topic but the prices for creative designs were astronomical.

    I have the transformer table… I love it, but since covid it’s perpetually been open at half size
    One thing I don’t like about it is that you have to store the planks seperately
    I also have the exact day bed from Ikea, my son uses it in his room… BUT it’s a pain in the butt to close after expanding it. So anyone who’s thinking about getting one and expanding/closing it daily will have to consider that

    Thanks for your videos Daniel! I have identified some IKEA dressers I like (Songesand, Koppang and Hemnes) and other IKEA items that I’m thinking of buying to furnish an ADU here in CA. However, most every item I look at has reviews that IKEA’s product quality has gone downhill in the last couple of years and often times there are complaints about pre-drilled holes not lining up etc. etc.
    Anyway, I wonder if you could weigh in on this……is it still safe to order from IKEA U.S.? I’m a 74 yr old lady who will be assembling everything myself, with the help of a teenage grandson. Neither of us would be able to deal with things not going together as they should! Thanks for any advice you can give.

    funny I was thinking recently about the toekick space in my kitchen being useful for additional storage I rarely use like things that go in the oven, but it would be a whole thing to make one and meh, it's just not that worth it for now. My kitchen looks super nice currently and I wouldn't want to ruin the clean aesthetics and lines, it's not a super necessity (yet or as of now) so I'm curious to see what solution you come up with. And for MURPHY beds, I've been keeping an eye out for an aesthetic simple version to utilize the "wasted space" of the bedroom as another useful room when necessary so to use the bed 90% of the time and then put it up 10% of the time.

  • @meinhartfrancois

    I wonder if in your bedroom, you could hang a gauzy curtain from the underside of your desk. That way it would look less utilitarian, perhaps, when you raise it all the way to roll out your bed to its full size?

  • @adamfcplm
    @adamfcplm 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I find those daybeds very uncomfortable to sleep on, because the mattresses have to be very thin, otherwise they would be too high if stacked.
    Also, you do not get a proper, 7 zone slatted frame.

    Interesting, I lived in a probably 1920’s building with a huge murphy bed door and nook but they’d removed the parts to add the bed 😅 eventually I got the giant door off and turned the resulting nook into a small platform bed. But if it had actually been a murphy bed that would have been pretty nice

    I'm surprised that you have daybed as number one. Sofa beds are better than daybeds. If it's for guest use and in a home office room it's definitely better than daybeds. Daybeds appear to be just another bed.

    My mother in law has toe kick drawers in her 40 years old kitchen. Unfortunately, there are technical restrictions. I couldn't order a single one in my kitchen, because a toe kick drawer needs a cabinet : not in a corner, not in the end of a row, and not against an appliance (at least for the brand of my kitchen). My kitchen is too small, all my cabinets are in a corner or against the dishwasher, or at the end of the row.😞

    It’s fine at the moment for my 5 year old but I’m conscious that in a few years it’s going to be incredibly cramped so I’d like to do something now that will still be practical for when he’s older. I was thinking of a Murphy bed solution or alternately a loft bed. Any other ingenious ideas?

    I own the grey Jattebo couch, don’t buy it. I loved the modularity but the grey covers quickly look awful. I’ve tried ironing, tension straps, anti-wrinkle spray, etc…. Everything sags after a few days and it looks shabby. The couch is also impossible to move without two people as lifting any section causes it to fall apart.

    Where is rent $1,000 for two bedrooms? Not anywhere near me. $1,200 for a one bedroom hovel is more like it. $1,600 to 2,600 for a one, two, or three bedroom that is decent. That’s covering Winnipeg to Thunder Bay! (Not including utilities)
    Looked a new build that was designed as a house in Winnipeg. Someone split it into three rental units. No reasonable way to get into the basement unit and you would constantly be fighting for parking in the one car driveway. (And, yes, it was marketed as parking available.) Also, no plug for a stove.

    The problem with the folding furniture is that you get really tired of taking them out and putting them back. Its irritating. Instead if I were to live in a small space I would build in the furniture allowing space to move around easily. It would be beautiful to do this with free form materials such as adobe. If that's not possible, what about a bed in the living room, a dining table in the kitchen, an office in a closet?
