Spare Bedroom/ Office

MEALTIME SHORTCUT

Place a tiered rolling cart in an unused corner of a dining room and you’ve got a table-setting station. Just add everyday dishes and glasses, plus table linens in a basket. A chalkboardpaint wall lets you leave a cheery message.

Despite its small size (about 11 feet square), this room can work hard: Versatile furniture allows it to function as both a bedroom and a workspace. With a pullout storage drawer underneath, the daybed can be used as a twin or double bed. (The base can extend to hold a full-size mattress.) The accessories shelf, hung 28 inches from the ground, is just the right height for a desk when a chair is pulled up.
