Not all of us are blessed with enough bedrooms to accommodate every member of the family plus a home office<\/a> and a man cave and a theater room and a guest space. And, it’s that last one that often ends up as a challenge when friends and family come to visit and you either have to break out the blow-up bed or give up your room and hunker down with the kids. You don’t need to add on or buy a new home to provide a comfortable space for guests. These smart solutions will help you create a great space for guests with minimal effort.
\n \n<\/p>\n

Murphy beds<\/b>
\n <\/p>\n

Part of the appeal of a Murphy bed is the ability to hide the sleeping surface away instead of having it be the main focus of the space, which can limit the usability of the room. A home office with a hidden surprise provides great function for those who need a room to do double duty.
\n \n<\/p>\n

“A Murphy bed neatly folds away when not in use, providing room to use a desk and store home office necessities,” said Houzz. “When guests arrive, just tuck in your desk chair and pull down the bed.”
\n \n<\/p>\n

You might not want to fill this small space with a guest bed, but hiding one behind the couch works just fine.
\n \n<\/p>\n

Even in a super modern space, a Murphy bed can be hidden creatively. Would you ever think there was a bed behind those art panels?
\n \n<\/p>\n

If you’re handy, you may even be able to make one yourself.
\n \n<\/p>\n

Wall bed<\/b>
\n \n<\/p>\n

A similar idea but with a little different execution, a wall bed is another great space-saving solution. You may not think you have room for a guest space\u2026until you see one fold out from under the TV. Voila. Happy family hunkered down at your house.
\n \n<\/p>\n

This one looks like a couple of built-ins. Nope. It’s a wall bed.

Pull-out couch<\/b>
\n \n<\/p>\n

The knock on pull-out couches: They’re uncomfortable. And ugly. But today’s versions are far from your grandfather’s pull-out couch with the flimsy mattress<\/a>, non-existent support, and limited design potential.
\n \n<\/p>\n

“Forget what you always knew about sofa beds, because you actually can get a good night’s sleep\u00a0and\u00a0have a stylish sofa these days,” said Apartment Therapy.
\n \n<\/p>\n

This modern version will give you the style you seek while providing comfort to your guests.
\n \n<\/p>\n

Rich, traditional leather can also serve an additional function. Even better, this loveseat is small enough to work in a smaller space while still providing ample space for snoozing.
\n \n<\/p>\n

“This top-grain\u00a0leather sleeper sofa is just as luxe\u00a0as it looks,” said Best Products. “A raised base with roomy, springy\u00a0seating makes it just right for movie nights, while the interior<\/a> pull-out bed ensures that it is always at the ready for overnight use.
\n \n<\/p>\n

Day bed<\/b>
\n \n<\/p>\n

A variation on the pull-out couch, a day bed is a chic design choice for many homes, especially because the style allows it to fit into a lot of paces more easily than another bulky sofa.
\n \n<\/p>\n

Also, choose right and you’ll have a piece that looks like a cool place to lounge, but is all ready to accommodate a good night’s sleep.
\n \n<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

Want to double your guest space? Look for a daybed with a trundle, like this one.
