Expecting guest sleepovers? You can do more than just adding a sofa bed!

Living in a smaller space shouldn’t hold you back from inviting your loved ones for an overnight stay. With foldable sofa beds, a clever and adaptable storage system, and a few extra throw blankets, you can easily transform your living room into a cosy family bedroom.

Make your living room sleep-friendly.

At first glance, the living room might seem too small to host an entire family overnight, with comfy sofas arranged around a low table for casual gatherings. However, by adding a sleeper sofa, a foldable mattress, or an L-shape sofa bed, the space becomes much more versatile, easily transforming into a comfortable sleeping area for your special guests.

Comfy bedding add-ons.

Whenever you feel like turning your living room into a mega-sized sleeping area for a sleepover party, simply pull two sofa beds together, add a foldable mattress and some cosy throw blankets and pillows - now you’re all set! A few clothes racks around the beds can also help define the space, offering your guests a bit more privacy and turning it into a cosy, relaxing area.

Five ideas for hosting sleepovers in a tiny space.

  • Choose a coffee table with storage compartments that can also serve as a bedside table or dresser to save space and add functionality.
  • Use folding screens to create flexible sections in a room without permanent walls for a reading nook or sleeping area.
  • Keep extra bedding organised in foldable storage bags that can be easily stored under beds or in wardrobes.
  • A futon mattress can provide extra seating by day and serve as an additional sleeping space by night for guests in compact living.
  • Add throw blankets and extra cushions to the sleeping area for warmth and a cosy atmosphere.

Perfect lighting for cosy comfort.

Help your guests feel right at home with a handy clamp spotlight that doesn’t take up any desk or floor space. It’s perfect for small rooms and can easily be moved around to wherever you need light by the guest bed. Plus, it’s glare-free, making it great for reading or even as a night light! You can also add a few outlets near the sofa bed for phone chargers, and your guests will be all set for the night.

Soft storage bags are great for storing extra bedding. You can tuck them under the bed or place them on top of a wardrobe to keep things tidy and dust-free
