Foldaway Clutter

Collapsible furniture makes room for more enjoyment in small spaces

2. Foldable Home Interiors - Folding interiors are extremely convenient for those who live in cramped living spaces.
3. 2-in-1 Furniture - Furniture that performs multiple functions (i.e. doubles as wall art or can be folded away to save space) is becoming increasingly popular.
Industry Implications
1. Home Furnishings - Home furnishing companies can capitalize on the trend toward collapsible and multi-functional furniture for consumers with limited living space.
2. Interior Design - Interior designers can innovate by offering creative, space-saving solutions for clients living and working in small spaces.
