A Guest Room that Works

When my sister and her family recently came to visit, I scrambled to pull together the guest room.

An AeroBed (the one that actually sits 22 inches from the ground and comes with a bed skirt) solved my immediate problem, but the question remained about what to do with the study/ bedroom.

If 90 percent of the time the room is used as a study, and 10 percent of the time it is used as a guest room, is it worth it to invest in a sofa bed?

I’ve explored all manner of day beds, some of which I think would create a nice sitting area when not in use, but most will only accommodate a twin sized sleeper.

I’m sort of into this leather look sofa bed from Apt for $898 (the chairs are nice too), but it looks a little futon-ish.

How have you turned a room that is primarily used for some other activity into a welcoming guest room?
