Lighter Than Air: Floating Furnishings

They’re touted as space-savers, but floating home furnishings are popular for many other reasons. For one: they look incredibly cool. Other (more practical) reasons include extra floor (and sometimes wall) space, easy cleaning, and an illusion of larger rooms. Mounting various furnishings to the wall or installing pieces with unobtrusive bases sometimes requires special equipment and reinforced walls, but not always; there are plenty of opportunities to float.

We present, for your viewing pleasure and inspiration, ideas to create your very own incredible floating home:
