There were numerous space saving designs here on Freshome, but this time here is something that we didn’t covered until now. Designer Sandy Lam created a design that is not only useful because it saves space, it is also completely hidden with zero space invasion while not in use. The purpose of this design is to increase the functionality of balconies and to enhance the concrete city look. This system will help to maximize condo living space because residents can extend their indoor living into the outdoor. Even when fully assembled, the hide-away system is a minimalist lover’s delight. The design is also flexible to its owner. If you were to move away, you can take the hide-away furniture with you and place it in the next balcony or living room. Here you can see with this design, that is simply called Spaceless below, and at the end a video with the design in action. Enjoy ! - Via - Yankodesign

Designed by Stefano Bigi and produced by La Cividina the Globos Chair is a brilliant solution for small places, especially if you don’t have space in your apartment for 12 chairs laying around your house all the time. So to solve this problem designer Stefano Bigi designed a collection of furniture that cleverly hid extra seating inside its body. On its own, the bench and chair can only seat 4 people. However, within their bulbous designs are 8 pouffes that can be used as small ottomans increasing seating capacity to 12. Now that everything is ready you have enough chairs for everyone in case you’re going to throw a party in your apartment.

When we are planning our houses or apartments we usually think how we want to look, so we can feel good in our own house. Now after I’ve saw this image on the Catshouse I’ve came to the conclusion that there are some people that really care about their cat(s), and they invest serious time and money to make a better life for their pet. These Cat Houses can go anywhere from two to eight feet tall and you can add additions with bark-covered tree limbs or anything of your choice, and come with special sculpted carpets that give it long durability. Finally these Cat Houses look pretty good, and I’m sure that your cat will be more happy.
