Help with Guest Room/Multi Use Design

3 years ago
last modified: 3 years ago

I would like to decorate our guest room but am having a difficult time making some decisions about what to do with it.

We rarely have guests - maybe a few weekends a year - but those guests tend to be older adults so I want to provide comfortable-ish beds (no bunks or lofts). I also sleep in this room myself at least once a week, depending on DH's snoring, DD's bad dreams, DP's (dear puppy's) night time potty breaks, and my own occasional insomnia (which is only exacerbated by the former).

I would also like this space to do double duty - so when we don't have guests or nighttime interruptions, we can use it for other things. I am considering moving my electric piano to this room (58" x 19"), and also using it for a separate TV space/reading space.

I have debated getting an IKEA hemnes pullout daybed. But I'm feeling like the IKEA daybed might not be comfortable enough and maybe not sturdy enough (plus I don't love how someone has to sleep "inside" - crawling over the person on the outside...not great for elderly guests). I also thought maybe a couple chair-and-a-half pullouts would work, but the chairs might be too big for the space (I pulled dims from one that was about 54" x 37").

I think if the chairs work that would be the way to go, I just am not sure they do.

Plus whatever I get needs to fit through the door.

I also want to lean into the light fixture, as it's my favorite one in our house, so I am looking for a glam vibe.

Appreciate the help!

(Oh, and yes, I know the closets are terrible. This is a production home and they wouldn't let me change them. I asked. Begged. No dice.)

The bed is a queen for reference.
