Sofa bed flexibility – from living room to extra bedroom
Even if you live in a smaller space, you can still invite your near and dear overnight. Think multiuse furniture – sofa beds, clever storage and handy extras – and it’s easy to turn your living room into a generous family bedroom.
A living room with hidden assets
Before this living room is made over, there’s not much that gives away that it can host a whole family overnight. Everything is set for socialising in comfortable sofas by a low table. But there’s more than meets the eye.
Easy bedtime transformation
Folding down the two sofa beds side by side makes one mega-size family bed – ready to dress with comfy bedding. A few clothes racks around the bed help create a room in the room, giving your guests a little more privacy.
Five tips for living room sleepovers
- A coffee table can be used as luggage bench or nightstand
- Clothes racks make great room dividers for more privacy
- Block-out blinds darken the room to let guests sleep well
- Clamp spotlights are ideal to get instant bedside lamps
- Soft storage bags are handy for keeping extra bedding in
The right light to get comfortable
Let your guests settle in with a handy clamp spotlight at arm’s length. As LED light sources don’t get hot, you can even leave it on as a night light. A few empty sockets for phone chargers by the bed is also a nice gesture.
