COMPANY is COMING PAMPER HOLIDAY GUESTS BY ORGANIZING THE ROOMS IN YOUR HOME.
There’s nothing like impending house guests to help you channel your inner Marie Kondo and finally check off those to-do’s that have been waiting for attention. Top of the list: sprucing up the guest quarters. “Wall beds, also known as Murphy beds, turn any room into guest quarters,” says Chantale Persinger of Closets by Design. “They can turn any nook into a multifunctional space because they are particularly good where floor space is limited.” When surrounded by built-in cabinetry, bookshelves, and drawers, a wall bed that is tucked away when not in use becomes an architectural focal point in the room. The space can be used as a home office complete with locking drawers and doors or as an entertainment center that contains a TV and books for browsing. Wall beds contain more comfortable mattresses than folding cots and pull-out sofa beds, so your guests’ backs will thank you. “Closets by Design offers both traditional and modern-styled wall beds and surrounds,” Persinger says. “The shelves and drawers surrounding wall beds have a fine-furniture finish that becomes an important design element when the bed is folded up into the wall. Wall beds can be customized to integrate with the existing design scheme of the room.” In addition to guest quarters, upgrading that hobby room is another perfect fall project for homeowners who want to organize before the holidays. “We can customize gift wrapping stations to hold rolls of paper and ribbons, and incorporate extras like pull-out countertops for an additional temporary workspace,” she adds. 80
