Transforming an extra room into a guest bedroom is a great way to accommodate visitors at your house, however, one of the issues most homeowners face is trying to utilize the space in that ‘extra’ room. It can be tough to find furniture that can fit in a small room, let alone place it in a way that feels welcoming and comfortable rather than claustrophobic for your guest.
Here are some ideas you can work with when trying to maximize space in a small spare room:
1) Attach shelves to wall to replace bookshelves & headboards
2) Mount storage cabinets to wall to replace nightstand & standing closets
If your guest room isn’t large enough to fit a nightstand then a wall-mounted cabinet is a useful alternative. Nightstands usually occupy the space next to a bed where people typically put an alarm clock, a picture frame or a phone on it. A wall-mounted cabinet can hold those items as well as additional items such as clothing, medicine, documents, emergency items, and more.
3) Save Space with a Murphy Bed
Murphy beds can come with cabinets (piers) or without, based on the style you want and the amount of space you have in your room.
