There are three reasons that explain why we’re obsessed with dual-purpose furniture at the moment
- Dual-purpose furniture is the perfect solution for small apartments and family homes where space is at a premium.
- Furniture with two (or more) practical uses gives you more bang for your buck.
- We’re astounded at the innovative designers who invent and produce these very clever creations.
We’ve had lots of fun hunting down the best dual-purpose furniture to share with you today. Here are 10 of our favourites:

A dog kennel table is the perfect solution for homeowners who are crate training their puppy in a home with limited space. Plus, those metal dog crates are ugly! These beautifully made tables are much nicer to look at!
Radiator x mirror

Traditional radiators take up a large amount of wall space – so why not ditch them in favour of a radiator mirror instead? Plus, a radiator mirror is PERFECT for any room that’s low on natural light, such as a dark hallway or small guest bedroom.
