The magic of multipurpose furniture

Multipurpose furniture mostly relies on a folding mechanism, innovatively designed so that parts can be extended or stored, according to one's requirements. Hatil Smartfit consists of the largest collection, covering bedroom sets, living rooms and even dining spaces. Introduced during the DITF in January, its popularity has indeed spread like wildfire thanks to its adaptability and elegance. 

From simple space-saving sofas to creative whole bedroom solutions, they seem to have it all. Whether you want two extra seats for your guests or even an extra bed for those occasional sleepovers, Hatil Smartfit has you covered. 

You can choose from natural, antique or dark colour as well as pick the fabric to suit your taste. Perfect for bachelors or children's rooms, there are single beds attached to a reading table as well. You could even have your personal workstation, which will include bookshelves as well as a computer table, all foldable to require minimal space. 

For couples opting to find a smart solution, beds including closet space along with shelves can be found at Hatil for around Tk 1.5 lakh.

However, Smartfit is hardly limited to just the living room and bedroom. Dinner wagons that can extend to form a dining table or chairs that can be extended to make ladders are only a few examples of wondrous multi-purpose furniture. 

Furniture brand Otobi has also caught up, providing a few basics, specifically for children. Mainly made of wood particle boards, these include beds with shelving and storage space. Furthermore, there are plenty of innovative shelving solutions available at various home decor outlets.

Whether it is to streamline the look of your apartment or to reduce costs, multi-functional furniture can be used to enhance your interior designing skills and make your house look more inviting. Moreover, these are also much easier to handle while shifting homes as they can be folded and are thus less prone to damage. 

The furniture you pick can indeed be used to express your personality. May be it is time to think again of a fresh minimalist makeover.
