Multifunctional furniture and loft spaces can really add dimension to a small home but what if we combine the two? A raised platform with storage space will allow you to make the most of your square feet and add function to every inch of space. Raised platforms are good for two things – storage and space division, so you can build in some drawers or hide additional furniture there while using its top for something entirely different. Thus a single platform can transform one room into two or even three functional areas plus storage space for everything you need. Platforms can be used everywhere, from a bedroom to a kid’s room, they can act as space dividers, for storage, seating, emphasizing some areas and so on – just look at the ideas below and see how to use them right!
Decorative Platforms
A decorative platform may be placed in any space: a living room, a dining space, a bathroom or a bedroom, this is a cool way to highlight the area. It may be made of concrete, plywood, wood, stone, marble and any other materials that are proper for your space and match the decor style. If it’s a bathroom, such a platform will also keep your space from any splashes and water that may spoil it.

Platforms To Define A Space
Open layouts are extremely popular for home decor today but subtle and gentle zoning is still necessary. Divide your spaces inside the layout with raised platforms – separate a bedroom from the rest of the space and make it more private or separate a living room from the rest of the layout – it’s up to you.

Storage Platforms
Storage platforms are amazing – they are functional and save much space decluttering your home at the same time. Go for tall platforms instead of the beds, store everything you want inside the drawers. Make a platform raising your living or dining space and incorporate some drawers for storage and even a desk if you want. A raised platform may also contain a retractable bed if you need one – a perfect idea to receive some guests!
