Multifunctional living has become a movement many are adopting. For some home owners, it’s the convenience of working from home and having ample space to accommodate these needs, while for others having a kitted-out entertainment area or a fully equipped home gym might be more aligned with their lifestyles.

“Modern homes have become much more than a place to retreat to at night. Today we spend more hours at home, from working to entertaining, so our homes have become a hub of interaction. As a result, we need to ensure that we maximise the use of space, whether living in a large single-family home or a small studio apartment. Multipurpose furniture combines style, function, and versatility to ensure that your home can meet your every need,” explains Cielo’s Cheryl du Preez.

Our homes and the way in which we occupy them are continuously evolving, resulting in an uptake in the popularity of multipurpose furniture. Exploring this further, we look at exciting designs and innovations.
