In conditions when every square centimeter of space is dear, even a familiar sofa can be used with benefit: for storing things, books, useful little things.
As a rule, upholstered furniture sofas, armchairs and poufs are intended only for sitting on them, however, a slight improvement will make it possible to make a universal storage system out of an ordinary sofa.
For example, a tall sofa with legs can be used to store books and magazines in piles under the seat. Or put baskets or boxes with little things under the sofa that did not have a place in the closet. In a small apartment, empty space under the sofa is an impermissible luxury..
At the bottom of the sofa, you can make a small chest of drawers with horizontal drawers. It will be better if instead of handles on the drawers we make slots, otherwise the handles can interfere with those sitting on the sofa. Such storage will significantly save space and help you place a lot of necessary things in the sofa..
It is also convenient to store things in the sofa when the sofa is also a sleeping place: in this option, bedding for the day can be easily removed in a drawer in the sofa.
For books, magazines and DVDs, open shelves can be made in the couch so that things are convenient to take or put in place while sitting on the couch. True, these shelves will require careful maintenance, as they may collect more dust than bookshelves located high on the cabinet..
While the idea of sofa storage is not new at all, everyone can find their own use case.
