Transforming ironing boards: pros and cons, tips for choosing

Among all household chores, ironing is a separate item. For some housewives, this is a way to relax and plunge into their thoughts, for others it is a real torment. To make ironing faster, easier and more convenient, you should purchase an ironing board, especially since today the modern market offers a huge variety of such designs. The most successful choice would be a transforming ironing board, which is a folding structure that can be built into almost any furniture.

Today there are several types of ironing boards, which can be transformed into other interior items or built into furniture.

• Ironing board - mirror. This design, as the name suggests, has two purposes. When you do not need to iron your laundry, it easily turns into a wall or floor mirror, and if you need to do household chores, the board can be folded back without any problems.
• An equally practical option is an ironing board built into kitchen cabinets. It should be taken out only when necessary, and on ordinary days it is hidden behind the doors of kitchen furniture.

• A structure equipped with a curbstone. This option cannot be hidden or hidden, but additional functionality of the structure appears, which can now also act as a storage space.
• Similar to the previous version - ironing board-table. Slightly modifying a quote from a famous Soviet film, let's say that with a slight movement of the hand, the ironing surface turns into a table (and vice versa).

In fact, the positive and negative aspects of such constructions are rather subjective. For example, on the one hand, a transforming board is an ideal solution for those who are too lazy to constantly assemble and disassemble the classic design (first of all, this applies to those who iron every day, for example, mothers of newborns). On the other hand, some of the models can take up a lot of space, for example, modifications with pedestals and tables, and more compact designs are rather difficult to assemble and require serious financial costs. In any case, the choice is yours.

First of all, your choice should be based on the size of the room in which you live. So, for someone, the classic version is suitable, which can be folded and put in the closet. For others, a transformer board will be a more acceptable option. Your choice should be based on the area of ​​your premises and its functionality.

For example, a transformer board would be an excellent option for corridors and halls, and a board-table for offices. However, it is important to consider not only the specifics of your home, but also your individual preferences.
