- [Narrator] There's lots of neat interior design inspiration out there, but some designers have created products that will definitely set you one cut above the rest. From transforming furniture to tiny living spaces, here are some of the most ingenious home design solutions you need to see. SWING. Limited living space is frustrating, so anything that serves more than one purpose can be lifesaving. The SWING, which made
its breakthrough debut at Cologne's furniture fair in 2018, is a sophisticated dining table which transforms into a tidy shelving unit with one swift movement. According to its German designers, a standard table is used for approximately 142 minutes a day, meaning it wastes potential space for a total of some 21
hours and 38 minutes. With this in mind, the SWING was created
for multi-purpose use while being neatly storable when it's not being used for dining. And the best part is that you don't have to
remove any items either, making this one impressive talking piece. Doolight. Lighting doesn't always have to be static and self-explanatory, and the Doolight is an ingenious design which can be a handy companion for any modern homeowner. This fresh take on a classic chandelier comprises of individual standalone lights which hang on a central flower base. The base also doubles-up
as a charging port which provides each drop with three days' worth of charge, and the smartphone or
touch-activated lights can then be placed anywhere for a little extra ambience. These versatile lights can be used at dinner parties, as a bedside lamp or reading aid, and their water-resistant material and soft touch edgeless design make them safe for children, too. Scrapbox. If you're a crafter, you'll know how much space you need to sacrifice to accommodate your creative hobbies. With the Workbox 3.0, you no longer have to stuff paints, buttons and sewing
tools under your bed and in every box and
drawer around the house, because everything can be neatly stored into one standard-looking cabinet with some big secrets. This ingenious solution
is every artists dream with 85,000 cubic inches of storage space including 80 craft totes for all your imaginative needs, and even a fold-out desk. The Workbox has been designed by crafters for crafters and is a great way to maintain a creative haven in any room, and you can now customize your own Workbox from $2,199. Elevate Sofa Sleeper. The Elevate sofa sleeper by Luonto describes itself as a modern
marvel of engineering, and there's no denying that this multipurpose furniture is one nifty bit of kit. If you regularly have guests over but you're a little short on space, this unsuspecting sofa could be the answer to all your problems. With a few simple movements, the Elevate Sofa Sleeper can be quickly transformed into a fully functioning bunk bed capable of comfortably
sleeping two adults. With a smooth working mechanism and hidden ladder, this is one fuss-free way to accommodate more friends and family, and its sure to one-up any old sofa bed. Wilding Wall-beds. An adult-sized bed is likely to be the most space-consuming
item in any bedroom, but an ingenious line of Murphy Beds designed by Wilding
furniture design specialists has found a way to free up some of that precious floor space. The Wilding Wall-Bed is a queen-sized bed which can be inconspicuously folded into a standalone cabinet as if it was never there to begin with using a noiseless and easily operated piston-lift system. The Studio Desk design takes things one step further by providing a built-in desk space which can disappear in an instant as it fits snugly under
the fold-out wall bed without even needing to be cleared. These hideaway beds are perfect for guest rooms or small bedrooms, and what better way to grab a quick nap! LG Roll Up TV. The LG Signature OLED TV R promises to maximize your living space with the first sleek Panel TV which disappears without a trace, leaving only a standalone piece of contemporary art behind. This mind-blowing design boasts a display that rolls out and rises on demand using
voice-activated technology, putting the cinematic world right before your eyes. Its minimalist metal design is sophisticated and modern, and it can also eliminate those pesky black borders while watching movies by partially rolling and immersing you entirely in the screen. The already award-winning TV is set to hit markets soon and is expected to cost around $8,000, so its time to start saving those pennies. Lumio. Lumio is a totally unique product which asks you to forget everything you know about typical light fixtures. This dynamic, multi-functional lamp conceals itself discretely within the confines of a laser-cut hard-cover book, and can open up to 360 degrees to light up any room with its unique water-resistant pages containing high-performing LEDs. This compact and creative
lighting solution can be used almost anywhere and Lumio can also mount to almost any metallic surface, meaning the creative
possibilities are endless. The classic Lumio retails at $200, but there's also a
smaller $150 Mini Lumio+ which doubles up as a handy smartphone battery pack. Loft Space Safety Net. Converting unused loft space is a great way to unlock potential and create a whole new living environment, and there are some pretty clever ideas out there to help you along the way. This tiny living apartment has been perfectly
designed to maximize space in every nook and cranny, and a once-cramped loft area has now been transformed into a spacious bedroom. Possibly the most ingenious part, though, is a safety net which cleverly separates the sleeping and office areas while doubling up as a comfy chill-out zone. This loft space safety net concept has been implemented in
many modern interiors, and you can't deny that this is one seriously envious design solution. Roll Mirror. One of the marks of a successful designer is the ability to inject new uses into everyday items, and the Roll Mirror, created by San Francisco-based
designer Justin Godar, is not just another mirror worth checking yourself out in before leaving the house. With one easy push, the circular mirror can
be rolled to one side to reveal a simple storage solution, like a host of brass pegs for hanging keys or jewelry. The mirror has been created in different finishes and can also contain shelves which would be a great place to stash your prized
possessions from prying hands, but you're looking at a hefty price tag of $4,000 for one of these
made-to-order pieces. Living Cube. If you really don't know where to start with
designing your own bedroom then look no further than the Living Cube by Swiss designer Till Konneker. This compact living solution manages to encompass an entire bedroom in the space of one clean-cut shape by maximizing storage potential and keeping things stylish. The living cube has enough storage space to act as a wardrobe, shelving unit, fold out desk and 42-inch TV stand, while a ladder leads to the comfortable sleeping platform on top. That's not all, though, because its spacious interior could also house a home-office or even a second bed, depending on your individual needs. With this ingenious ready-to-go room, all you need is a couple
of chairs and voila! A sophisticated living
space worth talking about. Cubitat. The living cube is impressive, but why not take things a step further with design studio Urban
Capital's ambitious Cubitat, which places your entire home within the walls of one
10-by-10-by-10-foot cube. This giant prefab Rubik's cube, which debuted at the 2015 Design Show, houses a kitchen, bathroom,
bed, laundry facilities and sufficient storage to
get anyone on their feet and into the world of modern living. Currently the Cubitat, costing an estimated $55,000 to $60,000, can only be custom-built
and shipped in one piece, making it difficult to insert into any pre-existing home, but it could be perfect for anyone looking leave the world behind. This plug-in-and-play living space only requires plumbing and electric, and could offer a glimpse into the future of modern living. Kollen interactive bookshelf. When it comes to modern design which aims to challenge the ordinary, no stone is left unturned, and the stereotypical static bookshelf is no exception. The Kollen interactive bookshelf, created by design students from Barcelona, is an innovative piece of furniture inspired by Nordic styling which can be modified to suit each individual user. This unique shelf operates using a modular system of
adaptable plywood pieces which all work together to create a wave-like formation capable of transforming shape based on which objects are placed on it. Whether in a bedroom or living room, this multifunctional bookshelf is sure to transform any space
with a futuristic twist. The Sobro Smart Side Table. Simplicity is sometimes key, but other designs go above and beyond to achieve a
multitude of purposes, and with this super
handy Sobro Smart table in your life, you'll never have to leave your bed again. This tech-savvy table boasts a plethora of useful features like a wireless charging pad, Bluetooth speakers and even a thermoelectric cooling drawer for those sneaky late-night drinks. The potential of this
next-generation nightstand doesn't end there, because smartphone connectivity capabilities also mean that the Sobro Smart
Table can track your sleep and wake you up softly with interactive light controls. This ingenious design was successfully crowdfunded on Indiegogo in 2018 so it could be yours very soon. Smart Storage Stairs. There's untapped storage potential all over the standard home if you look hard enough, and the Smart Storage design company is dedicated to maximizing unused under-stairs space. With one of their ingenious multi-drawer configurations, a whole host of household items from shoes, toys, appliances
and cleaning products can be neatly stored away out of sight. No matter what size staircase you have in mind, there's a smart solution for you and the storage possibilities are irresistible for any
lover of organization. Shape-Shifting Sink. If you're after a statement piece to complete your bathroom, look no further than the self-proclaimed world's coolest sink designed by Osman Can Ozcanli. At first glance this shiny black surface isn't a sink at all, but with the touch of a button the entire thing shape-shifts to create an ergonomic wash basin. When you're finished, the sink seamlessly disappears again, and an automatic wiper emerges to get rid of the excess moisture. The flexible carbon fiber sheet is bent in and out of shape by a hidden mechanism which gives the impression that the surface is moving by itself. It's unlikely something like this will crop up in ordinary
homes anytime soon, but it's certainly a tempting glimpse into the future of interior design. Kitty Korner. Humans aren't the only ones who need to be catered for when it comes to designing a home, and cat lovers can now let
their feline companions roam freely around the house without having to invest in an unsightly indoor cat-flap. This easy to install $40 pet-portal known as the Kitty Korner can be attached to any
existing interior door using a standard template and patented hinge system which allows the corner of the door to seamlessly fold up like a paper flap. With this ingenious invention, cats can now seek privacy
behind closed doors, and out of reach of toddlers
and over-excited dogs. Seven Doors. The multi-purpose
potential of interior doors is largely overlooked, but Japanese designer Nendo has created a project
of seven concept doors which each have a unique
secondary purpose. Some of the designs are pretty niche, from a door with a built-in lamp to one with sliding panels which let in different
amount of natural light and even one with an
added child-sized door. The most interesting idea
in the series, though, is the corner door which allows the user to enter and exit through the corner of the room, forcing us to rethink our
ideas of interior layout. Because it opens particularly wide, this unusual door design could also be particularly handy
for wheelchair users. Space Corner. The standard kitchen is packed full of cooking utensils, ingredients and cutlery that all needs storing away, and interior design company Blum has optimized surprising
wasted corner space to make sure your kitchen never looks cluttered again. The super-smart Space Corner consists of different-sized drawers which can be easily extended to store items in its handy compartments, and after unlocking its full potential, you wouldn't believe just how much unused space there is in the corner of a room. Space-saving stair solutions. In smaller homes, the
conventional staircase can take up an unnecessary amount of room, but there are plenty of ingenious and stylish alternatives out there for inspiration. Check out this varnished
oak spiral staircase which maximizes the potential of an extremely narrow passageway. If the thought of that
makes you slightly dizzy, what about these bespoke
solid mahogany stairs, which not only make a great design feature but also cut down on space due to their overlapping design, just take special care
when climbing them drunk! Which of these ingenious
home design solutions would you most like to get your hands on for your own perfect home? Let me know in the comments below, and thanks for watching!
