This was the question raised on France Inter’s GBVF program on Friday October 13. In today’s program, the column presents tips on how to occupy unused spaces and gives solutions for arranging space and small areas.

Optimize floor space to make the most of it

In the show’s podcast, Danièle Gerkens, Editorial Director of Elle Déco, advises us to make the most of floor space. With trunk or drawer beds. You can optimize your interior space by using the entire surface of your mattress. Depending on their size, these space-saving solutions make it possible to dispense with a walk-in wardrobe, which doesn’t always fit in studios.

The Podium bed

The Brick It podium bed is a clever solution for getting storage under your mattress. These pedestals are available in 2 versions: A drawer model (single or double) and a niche model. Combined, they provide a very large available storage area.

The combination of Brick It creates your box spring. The box spring becomes your dressing room: Clever!

What’s more, the blocks are stackable. By combining 2 storage heights, you can double your available storage space.

Optimize wall surface area to enlarge small spaces

It’s often a forgotten part of landscaping. Entrance corridors and door tops are ideal places for storage.

Revelio shelf

In our back-to-school blog on shelves, we introduced the Revelio range. This range of shallow modular shelving units is perfect for small entrances.

As mentioned here, the retractable bed wardrobe is an all-in-one, highly agile solution.

In a shallow space, you’ll find a bed and a sofa. Easily assembled and disassembled, the wardrobe bed will follow you wherever you go.

Optimize ceiling height to create space

Living space is shrinking in France. Ceiling height is often unused, yet it doubles your floor space.

The slide-aways bed

The DKle lift-up bed lets you occupy this unused space. An ingenious counterweight system makes getting rid of the bed a snap. Once the bed is on the ceiling, you have all the floor space available.
