This is a really great storage design.  It is a really simple idea that it actually a very practical one too.  This design doubles as two things in a perfect way.  It is a drawer that also acts as a bed.  The base of the bed is divided into four parts where each quadrant has its own separate drawer to allow you to put stuff in.  There are two drawers on each side, and when all drawers are closed the only thing you see left is a bed.  The perfect thing about this bed is that it allows you to make the most out of your furniture, it is probably one of the best space savers.  This was a piece that I got from IKEA, and definitely one of my favorites.

Here is a furniture design with a unique look to it as well as a hidden functionality side to it.  This coffee table is made for storage with a double-sided top.  It is split into four quadrants with a separate lid that goes on the top of each one.  Each lid can either be flipped to have a side with cushion or a side with a hard surface where you can place items like your drinks or food.  It is a functional design for a coffee table with a sleek look.


This a type of design that is made for your health and one that is at easy access.  It is a pull-up bar that fits perfectly to most door frames.  It is a way to try to easily fit in some exercise into your daily routine. The bar doesn't just give you one type of exercise, it gives you multiple options for your upper body.  The bar features five different grips that give you the option to target different muscles, and even doubles as a push-up bar when you place the exercise device on the floor.  The narrow design of the exercise device allows for easy storage as well.  All in all, this makes for a perfect to-go exercise design.

This is a very trendy and popular design.  It uniquely combines the idea of wearing a scarf that comes as hood too.  Even in the ends of the scarf are little pockets where you can put your hands in, which actually triples the item as being a scarf, hood, and gloves all at the same time.  The trendy part of this combustion is the theme of the scarf hood.  The brand name of this piece is called Spirithood.  The idea is that you become the spirit of a animal depending on which one you buy.  They have endless amounts of different animals you could be through this scarf hood from a lion to an owl.  The one pictured above is a cheetah.  This thing takes cat ears to a whole new level.  Its cute, comfy, and practical in the sense that it really does keep you warm.  Even the pockets that are doubled as gloves have an imprint on the inside to indicate that they are your animals "paws".







For all of you wine lovers, this is the kitchen-gadget.  Taking the cork out of a wine bottle can be kind of a hassle sometimes, and at the very least takes some labor work.  This little machine is designed to make life simpler for you by taking the cork out for you in the simple press of a button.  You push the button down and it spirals itself into the cork, then if you keep pushing it brings the cork up and out.  Press the up button and it pushes the cork off the spiral.  It's a simple and sophisticated design with a pure purpose of acting as a helper.

If you have carpet at the place where you live, then you know how dirty it can easily get.  Shoes plays probably the biggest factor in this, so the obvious way to help keep your carpet clean is to pick a place to put them by the main entry door to your home.  Luckily for me, the kitchen is by my entry door (which is hardwood floor), and the carpet begins just to the right of what you see in the picture.  A shoe rack is a great design for shoe organization.  Also, keeping a shoe rack by the door gives a constant reminder to leave your shoes there so you don't forget to do it when you come back home.


This is a design by IKEA for your dirty laundry.  It comes as two separate bags that hang on a rack which serves the purpose of dividing up your white clothing from your colored clothing.  Each bag has a set of handles on them, so you can grab the bag easily and carry it to the washing machine.  The two bags save the trouble of having to later separate them, and helps prevent an accidental throw-in of a red sock into a wash with whites. The bags also come with an extension of it's material sewn at the top to act as a lid to go over the top of the clothes.  There is a little plastic weight that is on one side of the "lid" to ensure that it stays in its place.
