A Stylish Hybrid Space

Let’s be real. The spare bedrooms in many of our homes do double duty as either an office or a guest suite. It contains a bed big enough for two, a nightstand, and a pile of junk that was apparently moved from somewhere. The bottom line is that they are just elegant storage spaces. This area, though, is worthy of far more. This area can be turned into a stylish hybrid space that is great for getting together with family and friends over the holidays.

Here are some tips that will make this a guest bedroom/home office a space that you and your guests will absolutely love.

1. Add a Space-Saving Bed
   The flexibility to serve several purposes is what makes this room so useful. Since the bed would dominate the room, it would be ideal if it could be hidden away when you needed to utilize the area for other purposes. A convenient wall bed will be one of the most important parts of your new hybrid room. The most notable advantage of wall beds, commonly known as “Murphy beds,” is the amount of room they free up. During the day, the wall bed folds up, providing lots of floor space. The fold-out wall bed may be quickly and conveniently deployed as necessary. A Murphy bed may be expensive and take up valuable wall space; a daybed will serve the same purpose for less money. When the space is being used as an office, it can be converted into stylish seating. When it’s being used as a guest bedroom, it can be converted into a cozy bed. The space beneath the daybed may be used for additional storage.
2. A Flexible Workspace
   It’s important to make visitors feel at ease and at home in your house during their stay. However, people may get the impression that they are intruding on your personal space if your guest room or home office is dominated by a massive desk. Welcoming visitors to your home will be easier with a smaller desk. A mobile desk would be a great addition to the room’s adaptability. You may easily relocate your office to a closet, a spare bedroom, or any other out-of-the-way location when company arrives. Your guest room may also seem small and unwelcoming if the desk is often in a state of disarray. Maintaining a neat and orderly workspace makes it simpler to stow away items when visitors drop by, which in turn makes them feel more at ease.
3. A Nifty Closet
   Long-term guests would find it helpful to have a closet shelf or folding clothes rack to store their extra things during their stay. Guests will enjoy the ease of a closet organizer while packing for their visit. Open shelves are also a great way to save space while still keeping everything visible. This makes it seem as if the space might be used either as an office or a guest room. If you normally keep things on a desk, you can put them in a basket and store them on a shelf for quick access once your visitor leaves. If you don’t plan on having visitors for a while, you may put some of your seasonal clothes in storage using the closet organizer.
4. A Few Little Extras Won’t Hurt
   In addition to these main design elements, your multipurpose room should have a few comforting and aesthetically pleasing extras. A rug, some plants, and some art can make both guest rooms and home offices feel more comfortable. A comfortable chair is also a must for any avid reader. You and any guests will make good use of a reading nook if there’s room for one.
   Last but not least, tuck an extra set of sheets and towels under the mattress. If you have them close at hand, you may quickly prepare the room for guests without having to run and do a whole load of washing.
