Utilizing Multifunctional Space in Your Guest Room or Home Office

Guest rooms are often the smallest bedroom in the house, so it's common practice to use the room for other purposes when guests aren't staying over. This very modern approach to utilizing valuable space is a wonderful design trend, but it can be tricky to pull off well. Because guests often visit in pairs, you'd probably prefer to avoid a Twin or Full-size bed if you can avoid it.
However, a larger bed simply might not fit – or if it does fit, there won't be much floor space left over for your desk area, art easels, or crafting table.
If you like the idea of having a guest room that's also an office or art studio, Haiku Designs offer a range of excellent options to help create your ideal multifunctional living space. A crafty compromise is a modern daybed, which converts from a nice, roomy sleeping area to a compact, space-saving sofa. Old school sofa beds were basically thinly-disguised torture devices, packed with pointy metal coils and weird mattress lumps – the whole affair seemed intended to torment the in-laws into considering a motel as an option on their next visit.
MULTIFUNCTIONAL SLEEPER SOFAS TURN AN OFFICE INTO A GUEST ROOM
Luckily for both you and your guests, the old-fashioned sofa bed is a relic of the past. Donate yours to the charitable organization of your choice, and replace it with a contemporary alternative.
If you love the idea of a traditional library look for your home office, our York Sofa Bed is a timeless, elegant choice. Crafted of tufted leatherette or vintage blue or mauve velvet, the York is soft to the touch and its look is warm and inviting. In addition to the traditional all-flat sleep arrangement and entirely-upright sofa arrangement, you can also choose to leave one or both sides of the backrest in the reclining position, adding even more options for lounging. Almost any desk will look wonderful paired with the York Sofa Bed. And if you ever have clients who visit your office, they will never suspect that the York isn't simply stylish office seating.
