We love small homes as they make us think a little more carefully about how to furnish our most functional spaces, such as bedrooms

This often leads to funky, clever furniture that larger homes wouldn't ever contain, but these multifunctional, ingenious designs really float our boat. We've found some brilliant interior designer-lead spaces that contain some of the most snazzy and smart furniture we've ever come across. 

Take a look and see if any of these creations could solve a small home design conundrum for you! 

1. Is it a bed? A sofa? A storage unit?

A kitchen when you need it and a sleek cupboard when you don't.

5. Where's the remote?

This coffee table makes losing the remote almost impossible thanks to secret drawers.

6. Disappearing desk

A super slimline desk that folds up into a simple wall mantle? Yes, please

7. How's this for multifunctional?

A bookcase that acts as a room divide and a desk!
