A multifunction bed for more than just sleeping

A bed is one of the most important pieces of furniture in the home. And not just at night, but also through the day. Putting your bed to use for different functions is a good idea when the space is limited.

One bed, many activities

How about using a curtain to divide the bed into different activity zones? The cosy area for rest and sleep can be on one side while the other can double as a home office quarter. All that’s needed are a bedside laptop stand, direct light, cushions for back support and all your work essentials hanging close by.

A cosy relaxation spot during the day

Place a bedspread, throw in a few cushions, and you have the perfect comfy spot for the entire family to gather and relax. The storage underneath holds the board games, study tools and more while the bed top doubles as a mini living room.

A different kind of dinner table

Sit comfortably at this dinner table with your feet up. Using the bed for eating is easy. Add a mattress protector and place a length of fabric over it, so the bed is protected against any spills or food stains. The rest of the bed? It can be seating or used for table decoration.
