How often does your guest room sit empty?<\/p>\n

Accommodating overnight visitors isn\u2019t always easy if you don\u2019t have a dedicated room for guests.<\/p>\n

But it seems wasteful and unrealistic to have a space available 52 weeks of the year when that room may only get used for a few weeks.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s pretty good real estate to sit empty most of the time, real estate that should be working harder to give you more living space.<\/p>\n

While foldaway sofas and futon couches are a good solution, they still take up quite a bit of floor space. This doesn’t leave\u00a0much room for other activities.<\/p>\n

A smart alternative is a wall bed<\/a>, but not just a box on the wall that a bed folds out from. Wall beds are much more sophisticated and stylish than ever. They can\u00a0provide\u00a0you with attractive storage and organizational solutions.<\/p>\n

Here are six\u00a0ways to get extra use out of a room after guests leave by installing\u00a0a wall bed.<\/p>\n

Home office & guest room<\/h3>\n

With professionally designed, custom-made cabinetry a wall bed disappears into clever storage and desk solutions for your room.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t just think about a home office with all the storage and filing space you need, add that guest wall bed.<\/p>\n

It disappears into the wall while you\u2019re working and you can get great use out of the room most of the year.<\/p>\n

Library & guest room<\/h3>\n

With a custom wall bed, you can add vertical storage like open bookshelves above the closed bed to the ceiling and on the sides to create your own library.<\/p>\n

You may even want to add a rolling library ladder or a custom bar behind closed doors for a sophisticated touch.<\/p>\n

Yoga\/meditation & guest room<\/h3>\n

A wall bed fits discreetly into cabinetry customized to the wall space leaving the rest of the floor space available for exercise, meditation and yoga.<\/p>\n

Any activity that requires only a little floor space can work. When not occupied by guests it may be that quiet space you need for a work out or mental getaway.<\/p>\n

Family room & guest room<\/h3>\n

The family room\u00a0can perform double duty when you have overnight guests. The cabinet your TV is resting in also houses the guest bed.<\/p>\n

The sofa gets to be just a sofa when a convenient bed is there when you need it and tucked away when you don\u2019t.<\/p>\n

Play room & guest room<\/h3>\n

Many people just don\u2019t have an extra bedroom for guests and the main family space is your only alternative. That\u2019s a space that is already working hard if that\u2019s where children play.<\/p>\n

With custom drawers, doors and open shelving designed for the room you can combine all your playroom storage with that hidden guest bed.<\/p>\n

The best part is the technology behind today\u2019s wall bed means easy and safe access and operation, in case you\u2019re worried about child safety around a wall bed system.<\/p>\n

Dining room & guest room<\/h3>\n

If you live in a condo where space is at a premium, you sometimes have to get creative. Why not make your dining room an instant guest room?<\/p>\n

Just slide your dining room table a few feet and pull down\u00a0a hidden wall bed to\u00a0accommodate overnight guests!<\/p>\n

Clean pillows and sheets\u00a0can be stored within the wall bed cabinetry making everything super easy to host your friends at a moments notice.<\/p>\n
