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 multipurpose 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 isn't much that gives away that it can host an entire whole family overnight. Everything is set for socializing 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 within the room, giving your guests a little more privacy.

      Five tips for living room sleepovers

      • A coffee table can be used as a luggage bench or nightstand
      • Clothes racks make great room dividers for more privacy
      • Black-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. Since LED light sources don’t get hot, you can leave it on as a night light. A few empty sockets for phone chargers by the bed is also a nice gesture.

            Soft storage bags are perfect for keeping extra bedding ready to go. Stow them away under a bed or on top of a wardrobe – handy and dust-free.
