Why a Wall Bed Is the Ultimate January Upgrade for Your Spare Room

  • by

Mom and Dad visiting for a week? Make up the spare room! 

Most of us have a little hideaway in our homes to accommodate visitors, but it’s not always ideal to keep a fully furnished bedroom without a permanent occupant. Fortunately, you can still make guests feel welcome in your home by installing a custom wall bed. 

Add “spare room upgrade” to the top of your list of New Year’s resolutions. Consider these four ways a wall bed could drastically improve your space.

1. Transforms a Spare Room into a Multifunctional Space

Create the flexibility to use your spare bedroom however you need—from office to playroom and everything in between. Wall beds nest up into their own nook when not in use to make space for other activities without defining the room by its furniture. Give visitors a place to hang their hats at night or simply create a boundary between living and sleeping.

  • Maximize your home’s limited square footage.
  • Create flexible personal spaces.

2. Maximizes Floor Space and Flow

In a room with a regular bed, if you want to work out or do crafts, it means moving the furniture. But because a wall bed doesn’t permanently occupy the center of a room, there’s no lifting or pushing required. 

If you live in a smaller abode, being able to fold the bed up is super convenient.

  • Enjoy more room to move.
  • Make space for work or a workout.

Have low ceilings? Consider a horizontal wall bed to keep some wall space available for art, photos, or other decor. 

3. Offers Aesthetic Integration

Your spare bedroom’s best-kept secret! Many wall beds blend seamlessly with your style, especially if they’re custom-designed to look like cabinetry when stowed away. Use your new furniture to create calm and consistency—rather than sticking out as an afterthought.

  • Paint the wall bed’s exterior to match the room.
  • Add molding for a finished look.
  • Create a permanent and intentional feel.

4. Provides Customizable Storage and Features

They may give guests a place to rest their heads, but wall beds are more than just mattresses and box springs. Create the ultimate furniture system by customizing your wall bed to include shelving, drawers, a folding desk, and even lighting. 

  • Reduce the need for separate furniture accents.
  • Store printers, laundry baskets, and extra bedding inside cabinetry.

Use Your Spare Room Your Way By Installing a Wall Bed

Whether loved ones are in town or you need space to move around, freedom to repurpose a spare room in your home is a lifesaver. Convert between work, play, and rest in a snap and give your room a stylish upgrade when you install a wall bed system.
