This Double-Duty Furniture DIY Is the Smartest One I’ve Seen (It’s Perfect for Small Spaces!)
Working out at home is a cost-effective way to stay active, allowing you to save money while enjoying the comfort of your own space. However, if you live in a small space, this may be the first option you choose to consider. That’s because it can be a challenge to create a designated space for exercise equipment without overcrowding the room or feeling cramped.
That is, until I came across interior designer Kim White’s Instagram video of her jumping on a brilliant mini trampoline-ottoman while at home. White shared in the comments that she loves using a trampoline for exercise but got tired of constantly putting it away. Her solution? She reached out to her upholsterer to help her turn the inside of her ottoman into a trampoline. The result is a beautiful, timeless ottoman that reveals a trampoline when the top is removed.
Kim’s whole apartment, which has been featured in an Apartment Therapy house tour, is stunningly beautiful. And now, it’s as functional for at-home workouts as it is gorgeous.
Commenters on her Instagram are also loving this multifunctional design. Some left comments like, “This is genius!” “I would buy this!” and “👏👏👏 that is so clever.”
This DIY is a genius project for anyone who lives in a small space. This hack is so versatile and can complement well any other decor pieces you may have.
