Most of us will spend approximately one-third of our lives in the bedroom. Some say the bedroom is the most important room in the house since it’s where we go to recharge after a long day. These funky and unexpected bedroom designs, furnitures and specific furniture and bed designs could add some visual interest to your room, help you sleep better, or just maximize your available space.

This sofa bed/bunk bed combo seems like it was dreamed up by a designer who grew up watching the Transformers cartoon. The seemingly innocuous sofa goes from mild-mannered sitting place to totally awesome bunk bed in mere seconds. More than meets the eye, indeed. For studio apartments or small guest rooms, this is an essential piece of furniture.

Designed with security-conscious Londoners in mind, the Self-Defense Table provides a way to defend yourself and fight back if you are ever confronted in your home. The tabletop becomes a shield, and the support becomes a bludgeoning object. If you have to have a self-defense weapon in your home, this table seems like a safe and functional choice.

This fascinating bed is perfect for everyone who’s ever wondered why they just can’t hold on to a partner. Simply place some rose petals and gourmet chocolates on top, wait for your target to take the bait, and pull the rope. Don’t forget to drill some air holes in the box. Unfortunately, this design isn’t available in stores. It was part of alternative design event Come Up To My Room held at Gladstone Hotel in Toronto.

This laptop desk could be your dream come true or your worst nightmare. Of course, it makes using your laptop in bed much easier and less stressful on your back. But once you have a comfortable way to surf the web, hold your drink, and lie down all at once, you may find yourself spending a lot more time in bed.

For those truly tiny bedrooms that have no extra space at all, this space-saving fetal position bed has a minuscule footprint. Don’t count on having any overnight companions, though. You’ll have a hard enough time staying in it yourself. As of now, this concept is not being produced for sale. You have to imagine that there are at least a few people out there who would be brave enough to try it.

In smaller homes where space is at a premium, cleverly designed morphing furniture is the best way to maximize the space you have. This amazing desk/bed is a perfect example of how to maintain the functionality of two pieces of furniture while only needing room for one piece. You don’t even have to move your gear from the desk surface before folding the bed out.

People with sleep problems often try everything they can think of to get a good night’s sleep. Sleeping pills, warm milk, meditation, strenuous exercise…but what if the problem is your bed? The Lomme Bed is designed to provide you with the most naturally peaceful sleep of your life. It integrates soft lighting and soothing sounds with a comfy sleeping surface. Even the egg-like shape of the bed invokes a sense of security and comfort.

Do you need a place to store your infinitely self-similar pieces of clothing? The Fractal 23 can solve that problem, delight your inner math nerd, and look cool all at the same time. The 23 drawers in the Fractal 23 are arranged in such a clever way that it’s possible to store a large amount of stuff in them, yet when the drawers are closed you’re left with a smallish cube. Don’t try putting these fractals inside the Klein bottle house, though. We suspect that would create some sort of mathematical paradox that would eventually destroy the world.

Love the bunk bed turning into a sofa. That would work great for my kids play room. Thanks for sharing
July 20th, 2008 at 8:23 pm
I am intrigued by the DVice! And if the FlyingBed works as advertised (no need to move desk items), it would be pretty useful to me.

The fetal position bed was great and perfect for a girl who is angel in the kitchen and a devil in the bedroom … they prefer standing positions.

Too cool and way too funny, we’re definitely referring to this on our blog. Thanks!
July 27th, 2008 at 6:39 pm
Interesting, though the fetal position bed is obviously more of an artistic expression rather than an idea to be put to practical use. Hurray for stating the obvious.

I love the table! I remember some of the old spy movies that had the sword canes and such but this is much cooler! You can fend off the attacker with the club and protect your self from a knife, club or other such weapon with the table/shield!
I did one post on an unbreakable umbrella entitled, “Legal self-defense weapons” that you might be interested in here: http://myselfdefenseblog.com/h.....e-weapons/
Great furniture!

October 10th, 2008 at 7:43 am
Absolutely awesome. It’s amazing what people think of. Especially the bed shaped like a person sleeping in fetal position! That would be perfect for me.

I love that sofa that turns into a bunk bed! That is soooo cool. Maybe it is not as easy as it looks in the picture though. :0
January 8th, 2009 at 9:25 pm
The second picture furniture is really pretty good design applied in sofa and bed. I think it’s economic to use your space and I expect this sofa bed furniture should be loved in few years.

BRENDAN LOVES THIS STUFF… so awesomeeee, he wishes he could sleep on the “little bed all day long, and enjoy its beautiful shape.”

really good interior design and architects also good
February 16th, 2009 at 1:24 pm
That is by far some of the coolest furniture I have ever seen in my life. I really like the sofa that changes into a bunk bed. I would really love to see other models of that manufacturer, because its so unique and I personally want one right now! Nice post!
February 17th, 2009 at 12:02 am
very good furniture design and picture also good
February 17th, 2009 at 10:03 am
I wish they included some of the other designs people thought of that didnt make it into production. Im always on the lookout for really cool furniture and I finally found this blog, which delivers just that. Does anyone know where I could possibly purchase some of this furniture, as I have yet to find it on my own?
February 18th, 2009 at 1:36 am
interior design look and feel very good. u have any idea about the interior design
February 26th, 2009 at 9:42 am
I really like the picture at the top, its a really unique head board for a bed. It would make a child feel as though they are a princess sleeping in that bed. All they would need is a personal buttler and they would probably think they were a real princess!
February 26th, 2009 at 9:16 pm
what i feel is interior design part of art and design
March 13th, 2009 at 9:37 am
All i can say is WOW, i love the sofa that turns in to bunk beds, me & my twin would of loved that when we were younger!
The computer desk that turns in to a single bed is a great space saving idea too, (i wonder if they sell to the UK market or a have them for sale over here?) really good for smaller studio flats. Especially in london where space is a premium.

The are really appealing and mind blowing tempting to touch.
