Among all household chores is ironing linen. For some housewives, this is a way to relax and plunge into your thoughts, for others - a real meal. In order to make ironing faster, easier and more convenient, you should purchase an ironing board, especially nowadays the modern market offers a huge variety of such structures. The most successful choice would be an ironing board-transformer, which is a folding structure that can be built into almost any furniture.
Kinds
Today there are several types of ironing boards, which can be transformed into other furnishings or built into the furniture.
- Ironing board - mirror. This design, as can be seen by name, has two purposes. At a time when you do not need to iron the laundry, it easily turns into a wall or floor mirror, and in case you need to perform household duties, the board reclines without problems.
- An equally practical option is an ironing board built into kitchen cabinets. It should be reached only if necessary, and on ordinary days it is hidden behind the doors of kitchen furniture.
- The design 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 place for storage.
- Similar to the previous version - an ironing 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).
Advantages and disadvantages
In fact, the positive and negative sides of such structures 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 a 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 quite a lot of space, for example, modifications with side tables and tables, and more compact designs are quite difficult to assemble and require significant financial costs. In any case - the choice is yours.
How to choose?
First of all, your choice should be based on the size of the room in which you live. So, for someone fit the classic version, which can be folded and put in the closet. For others, a transforming board will be a more acceptable option. Your choice should be based on the area of your room and its functionality.
For example, for corridors and halls a transforming board would be an excellent option, for offices - a board-table. However, it is important to consider not only the features of your home, but also your individual preferences.
For example, if you are used to watching TV while ironing, then a pedestal board, which you can concisely fit into the design of your living room, is suitable for you.
