We show a corner sofa, a bed, a TV stand with examples of where you can organize a podium and how to squeeze the maximum out of storage in it.

1 Podium with storage compartment on the balcony

If you have been dreaming of a pantry for a long time, but there is no room in the apartment, arrange it on your balcony. Moreover, this can be done atypically by replacing a bulky cabinet with horizontal storage. For example, as in this interior, where half of the balcony was occupied by a podium, and a niche was made inside. It closes with a special locking lock so that you can step on top. The doors in such an improvised basement should be slightly smaller than the total area of the podium, so that it is convenient to open them completely.

2 Podium instead of a TV stand in a mini-studio

The situation of this apartment was determined by its small area. Instead of the traditional TV stand, a podium has been arranged, which captures both the space under the TV and the place under the bed. It had to be lifted a little, but a spacious storage compartment appeared inside. The solution with a combined podium under the bed and TV allowed to squeeze the maximum out of the square footage of the apartment. There are no empty spaces between the functional zones, every centimeter is usefully involved.

3 Podium with pull-out bed

How to design a compact nursery so that it has all the necessary functionality and at the same time there is free space for games? For example, with the help of such a podium. A sofa was put on top, and there you can also place a corner for creativity or a small storage system. Inside, a pull-out sleeping place and a roomy drawer were provided. When there is no need for a bed, it is easy to push it back into the podium, thereby freeing up space for games.

4 Podium bed with lifting frame

This interior clearly demonstrates how to use the possibilities of the podium to the maximum. Inside, three rows of drawers were organized at once, and a spacious storage space was provided under the bed. To do this, they made a frame with a lifting mechanism. As a result, the room looks neat, and the volume of the whole wardrobe is hidden behind the wooden surfaces.

5 Corner sofa-podium with a sleeping place

The ideal solution for owners of studio apartments who would like to combine a bedroom and a living room. In order not to sleep on a folding sofa, you can organize a convenient system with a podium, inside which there will be a roll-out bed with a full mattress. When you don’t need it, just roll it back up and there will be an ordinary spacious living room with a corner sofa in front of you.

6 Podium bed with storage drawers

A podium bed is an excellent solution for a small apartment where there is not enough space for all the necessary furniture. The structure can be made of any height, and several storage compartments can be added inside. The result is a functional system that combines a bed and a wardrobe. For example, here it is four large boxes. Instead, shelves with conventional swing doors can be located under the sleeping place.
