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

This simple “all in one” office system can be molded very easily to fit your needs as the beech veneer shelves are completely and independently adjustable. A great space saving design goes a long way with wall-mounting shelves and if you combine a shelving unit with a desk, it really could not get better. The shelves are easily adjustable, so you can arrange your own design in whatever way works best for you. The Elfa wall mounted shelving unit home can be yours for only $896 from here. - Via - Furniture Store Blog

This handsome piece of furniture looks like a wall cabinet but is actually a space-saving Murphy bed for your pet. Unlike regular pet beds, this one stays out of sight until bedtime ! Personally when I’m looking at this piece of furniture I see Paris Hilton’s Chihuahua, I don’t know why, but I think that animals don’t need special furniture for them. Anyway I’ve posted this piece because it look really cool, and some of my readers might think that their pet deserve a piece of furniture like this. The Murphy Pet Bed can be your for $279.00 from here. - Via - Apartmenttherapy
