Advice on mixed use bedroom?

10 years ago

I'm getting an elliptical machine but the only place for it to go is a guest bedroom. Suggestions on how to make this very large room functional and multi purpose? Will be swapping out the large heavy furniture for just a bedframe and smaller dressers to make room. The elliptical will go in front of the window.

Really there is no other place , maybe your master since this room is large I would assume so is the master, IMO a guest room should be an oasis not feel like they are invading your space .This is such a pretty room with the bed it would be pretty decorated nicely

Try a murphy bed. Move the elliptical out before guests arrive.
