Hi! I am a design student currently designing functional furniture for small spaces and I was wondering whether any one could share some information with me to help me along with my research. If you could answer any of these questions it would be much appreciated.

1) If you have a small living room/lounge room do you find that your furniture takes up to much space? what would you change about your furniture to make the room feel bigger?

2) What type of problems occur where you need more space/extra furniture in the living room. For example having friends around and there is not enough room for every one to sit down. Can you think of anything that would solve these problems?

3) What do you think about multi functional furniture. e.g: integrated storage, adjustable sizes?

4) Is there anything you would like to see integrated into a piece of furniture that hasn't been done yet?

5) And finally! any general opinions on how you feel about living in a small space (if you do) The problems you have had, whether you enjoyed it, what furniture does or doesn't work for you.

Thanks for taking the time to read, feel free to write anything about the topic!

Beth.
