Guest room & home office – A love story

It really is a great story, and we top it off by adding a living room to the plot as well. Is it possible to fit three rooms into one? Yes it is, and below you find a few examples of how you can make the most of any space. Don’t limit your rooms by calling them what they are; they have so much more to give to the love story of your home!

A living room that really works!

If you fit a study and a guest room into your living room, doesn’t it look messy or crowded? Nope. We’d like to think that multi-purpose furniture is smart enough to hide its versatility, so that it goes unnoticed until you need it. That’s how a triple-purpose room can look this relaxed and calm at first impression.

1 room, 2 sofas, 4 sleepover guests

Plus quilts and pillows for all of them, blackout roller blinds, a bedside table, reading lamps and whatever else you like to add to this instant guest room – or should we call it a guest suite? It all fits into one single room that just happens to be a very comfortable living room as well.

Sleeping at work just got a whole new meaning

A home office is usually closed for business at night while a guest room is vacant whenever you don’t have guests. So why not combine the two? With smart storage, blinds to block out the light, a sofa bed and versatile side tables, you can make the room a lot nicer to both work and sleep in!

4 functions – 1 superhero

HEMNES daybed doesn’t like to brag, but there’s no other way to put it: It’s a superhero! A comfortable daybed, a single guest bed, a double guest bed and a lot of storage, all in one. So far, it can’t fly or see through walls, but we’re working on it.

A small home with room for lots of friends

Isn’t it ironic that the time in life when you live in a tiny place, usually is the time when you have the most stay-over friends? Well, no problem. With a smart sofa bed and furniture that can be rolled to the side, stacked in a pile or hung on the wall, there’s always room for overnight guests!

The mere possibility of having guests adds to the ambiance of the room

Two extra beds along the wall make room for both sitting, hanging around, studying, lounging, resting, working or perhaps having a classic Swedish fika? The fact that it’s two very comfortable guest beds is just a bonus!

The fine art of versatility

Versatility might not be the first word that comes to mind when you see this room. But the comfortable sofa bed has storage underneath, the reading lamp doubles as a bedside lamp, one table fits under the other and blinds make this living room a great bedroom as well. And yes, of course, the bed linens match the sofa.

The idea of darkness has never been brighter!

Blinds make all the difference in multi-purpose rooms, and almost any room can be just that. The wall lamp is happy to double as a reading lamp when the sofa becomes a bed, and that same sofa of course includes storage. With the right furniture, it’s an easy task for a room to be multi-purpose.

Sleep comfort on a roll?

Blackout roller blinds are almost magic. They can hardly be noticed when rolled up, but make all the difference in the world when down. For any room that doubles as a guest- or bedroom, blinds add to the sleeping comfort almost as much as the actual bed!
