1. Two-In-One MDF Furniture
As living spaces become more compact, having multifunction furniture is handy. Make use of the smallest spaces that are available in your furniture. From stools to coffee tables and sofas, you can use the space between the cushions and the rest of your furniture as storage spaces for frequently used items in that room. For instance, you can store thick blankets for use during winter or books you’d like to re-read while in the living room.
Another way to use furniture space is by adding mirrors or decorative elements to cabinet doors. That way, you will have a full-length mirror at your disposal without needing to buy an additional item that would take up extra space in the room.
2. Sculptural Furniture Pieces
Because MDF can be easily routed and shaped, it is often used to create sculptural furniture that would be difficult to produce using solid wood. Coffee tables, headboards, and room dividers are examples of MDF furniture that can be produced with intricate patterns and designs for all your decorative needs. With a little bit of creativity and skill, you might even be able to carve a statue using 3D printing principles and stacking them on top of each other before carving.
3. Curved Designs
Despite its flat and smooth surface, MDF can be easily formed into curved shapes. You will have the freedom to create elegant curved MDF furniture like arched cabinets or wave-like desks using MDF as a base material. Be creative with your table legs or bookshelf designs to spice up your favorite space. Don’t forget to paint or add unique finishing touches on top of the MDF boards to add a touch of texture to the wood.
4. Hidden” Furniture
For those of you who live in small apartments, having “hidden” furniture might save up a ton of space in the long run. Create foldable work tables, hidden bed compartments, or small chairs that can be easily stored under your kitchen counters using MDF. That way, you can create a comfy space without having to compromise the overall look of your interior.
