I hate daybeds. You can't use them as a sofa because they are too deep and your knees don't bend at the edge. You have to put hige pillows on them to make them the width of a sofa, but even then your feet won't reach the floor. They are ok to use in a guest room that you also use as an office like he does.

I’m looking at this exact day bed as a guest bed and additional seating and I’ve come across this problem too. I’m short and the Ikea day beds make me feel like a small child! The amount of pillows and cushions it would require would add visual clutter too and are not sturdy enough to really feel like a sofa back. I was very keen on the day bed idea but now that I’ve tried it out in the showroom, I’m more inclined to look for another solution.

Day and Folding beds have few disadvantages: If You really want to use the extra space it provides, you really needs extend the bed into space, that's usually made for walking/standing (usable space) If you put one in bed-livingroom in corner, you're not gonna benefit, becuse you can't really use the extra space for anything. The second problem is putting two matrasses in top creates very big visual distraction, even in the video, you can see the bed is almost as high as pc table and even worse with higher mattrasses. For that reason, I hope IKEA can design some low profile day bed, similar to Fyrestal, but more comfortable.

my opinion of disadvantage of day beds is that the mattress becomes bended where you mostly sit while using the day bed as a couch, so it could be uncomfortable to sleep on an uneven mattress. same thing with pullout couches, what is designed for sitting upright is less compatible with sleeping horizontally. that's why I'll choose a combo of murphy bed and compatible couch

Great vid and lots of food for thought. Being a chef/cook, I resolve many of these problems by closing off my kitchen as much as possible, while still handy to the service door and trash can. Cooking is just like any other work, WHO needs to chit chat while cooking? I have a "working kitchen", a lot like a wood shop. Functionality and hygiene is number one. I don't care what it looks like as long as I can get the job done. When I am in the kitchen, I have to concentrate on what I am doing and think ahead. If I am waiting for water to boil or a cake to bake, I busy myself with the next dish or just clean up after myself. Traditionally kitchens were the hub of social gathering, but not for me. There is a living room and dining room for that. If I had children to mind, then this would be different. I like glass table tops and do a lot of various work on my dining table, even paint is not a problem. For cleaning use 1/2 distilled water, and 1/2 rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle. Along with micro cloths. It takes me no longer than 4 minutes to wipe down 2 tables and 2 or 3 mirrors or windows.

It's not very user friendly to snap the pannels off and on but I do it once a month maybe so I'm willing to deal with the inconvenience.

The storage sofa (Ikea) is “ok” for a few years but quickly sags and isnt exactly the most comfortable everyday family couch.

I like that ten person table a lot!!! For what it's worth, eating in the living room without tables is really not a bad idea and I bet that most people do it all the time. It makes a huge difference which dishes you use!!!! Pasta serving bowls are the absolute best choices to use!!! Their generous size (11"+ diameter) makes them super luxurious and you don't feel compromised or cramped at all when the food itself is served in such a roomy dish. You can pile the food in the pasta serving bowl any way you wish, and nothings going to spill or fall out because of the tall sides, the tall sides just make you feel safe while eating on the couch. The pasta serving bowls (serverware specifically, not "pasta bowls" meant for individual portions of pasta) are often found in the "coup" style, many are familiar with this. For soup and salad, of course, deep serving bowls are the ideal for eating on the couch! Whereas you can eat a dinner sized salad in the pasta serving bowl, a deeper serving bowl is still better for salads since the surface area of the sides of the bowl is more convenient for spearing salad items onto a fork, than would be the flatter bottom of the pasta serving bowl. Plus, as salad fixings often sink to the bottom of the bowl, a deeper bowl would make it easier to remix everything together than would be a flatter pasta serving bowl. But, to each his own!!! I am just saying that pasta serving bowls and deep serving bowls are the absolute most wonderful items to have to allow everyone to very comfortably and luxuriously eat in the living room!!! All you need is a place to put your drink and you are golden, that's what serving bowls do, as eating dishes, for small apartments!!! I just wanted to add this since this has been my own experience, and my guests love the luxury large bowls.

As far as storage in the toe kicks, be careful. My designer says she used to install that for her clients, but she now highly recommends not getting it because they scratch the floors as they slide in and out. She said every one of her clients who got toe kick storage complained about scratched floors.

Daniel i think the folding furniture are the worst idea for small home... let me explain... yes, you can fold the furniture anytime you want, but how many will actually do that?... and also whenever you want to expand the table, you will need that much of free space to expand it... so everytime you fold and unfold your furniture, you will still need that amount of elbow room... for few times, it might sound good idea, but after few days of back and froth, you will just leave the furniture unfolded as it is... so foldable product are just too much of work which will end up occupying the same space which a fixed furniture will do... plus you cannot keep anything on the desk as it has to fold

If you can’t put your toes beneath the counter you’re standing in front of, you will either bend forward at the hips & waist when you’re working, or you will extend your forearms forward from your shoulders. Spend even a short period of time in either of these postures on a regular basis and you WILL begin to feel it in your lower back (first posture), or upper back and shoulders (second posture.) How you then position your head to accommodate your new poor upper body posture determines the severity of the headaches you will begin to experience. Toe kicks are there for reasons of occupational health. Fill them in if you want but unless all you do in your kitchen is brew a coffee once in a while you are going to pay the price in back pain, neck & shoulder pain & headaches. (Source: me.

I find those daybeds very uncomfortable to sleep on, because the mattresses have to be very thin, otherwise they would be too high if stacked. Also, you do not get a proper, 7 zone slatted frame.

15:43 Extendable dining tables seating up to 10 people were popular WAY before I was born 🤣 Actually, even before parents were born.

Interesting, I lived in a probably 1920’s building with a huge murphy bed door and nook but they’d removed the parts to add the bed 😅 eventually I got the giant door off and turned the resulting nook into a small platform bed. But if it had actually been a murphy bed that would have been pretty nice

Did he actually say the word "affordable"? Nothing on this list falls into that category. A futon is affordable. And much like the Murphy bed, many of these items are not easily available or only sold in certain countries.
