Two-in-one solutions: nine really great things I’d buy from Galaxus right now

Furnishing a small flat is like tinkering with a clock: everything has to fit perfectly and be well thought out for it to work. Clever furniture that makes the best use of every inch of space is crucial.

Not everyone has the same amount of space to live in, but that can definitely be an advantage: you can achieve maximum quality of life in a limited space. While tiny homes offer innovative solutions, multifunctional furniture and accessories also save space in conventional flats.

These two-in-one designs help you make the most of your space without sacrificing comfort or aesthetics.

1. Shelf and towel rack

Whether you’re looking for somewhere to store your shampoo bottles or display a small vase, this metal shelf from design piece Brix is versatile. Plus, there’s a rail underneath for towels. Everything you need to attach it to the wall is included. You can choose between black and white, and it’s available in two different sizes.

2. Shelf and toilet paper holder

The Carry metal toilet paper holder has an integrated shelf for frippery such as reed diffusers or essentials such as your phone. It’s available in grey or black.

3. Lantern and vase

Bring a splash of colour into your home with Tota glass lanterns. They’re perfect for creating warmth and coziness with candles on cold winter days. But that’s not all – they’re also great as pots for cacti and succulents or as vases. They come in plenty of cool colours.

The two-in-one solution Tota is the ideal home for flowers, plants or candles – the choice is yours.

4. Lamp and container

Ideal for rooms where every centimetre counts, the metal Laurel lamp gives out warm light and has a small but elegant container built in. You’ll be able to keep everything you need close at hand while saving floor and shelf space.

5. Stool and table

Not quite as versatile as a Swiss Army knife, but pretty close – the Tap stool from Normann Copenhagen impresses with its three legs and a round, comfortable seat made of dirt-repellent foam. It’s super stable and easy to stack. It’s available in a wide range of different colours and materials.

A Swiss Army knife: you can use the Tap stool as an additional seat, a side table or simply as a footrest.

7. Desk and wall shelf

If there’s no chair at the Tana wooden desk, it can easily be used as a shelf. Its simple design has no handles or visible mountings. A nice detail: there’s a narrow drawer under the tabletop.

Small but mighty: Tana’s a shelf and – if needed – a tiny desk.

8. Mirror and wardrobe

Schönbuch’s Club design is a particularly effective space-saving solution in tiny hallways and entrance halls that also looks great. The large standing mirror is ideal for a full-length fit check, while a smart wardrobe solution is hidden behind it. The frame’s also available in naturally oiled oak or other colours such as white and pink.
