Need help for guest/study room

6 years ago

I have a small room for study at my place and I am thinking of putting a desktop computer, having a place to work maybe and also during rare occasions have a place for guest to rest. Do you guys think it is possible or have any suggestions on how to do it?

What I have in mind is doing a platform area, with table against the window side of the wall. So we will have to sit on the platform while using computer/doing work.

On rare occasions where there will be guest, we will lay a fold-able mattress over it.

I did a draw out with 400mm table width and brown area would be where my single mattress will be placed, which have exact 900mm width.

Please advise! :)

Hi 4eva zx,

If you're only occasionally using the guest/study room as a place for a guest to sleep, then you should prioritise being able to use it as your home office. That said, you'd be better off having a more comfortable and convenient desk, rather than one where you'd have to climb up and down a platform, and possibly roll off it if you're using an ergonomic chair. A short-term guest would be well-served by a single-sized sofa bed, which you can also enjoy as a reading lounge when there is no guest.

The broken lines indicate the sofa bed when unfolded – not ideal as it would block access to the wardrobe, but it shouldn't be an issue for occasional use. The best use of this room would be for you to enjoy it as much as possible. You could even install some overhead bookshelves in the corner above where you planned to put the desktop.

Alternatively, you might even want to try a convertible desk-bed such as this:

Thanks for your comments, its great to discuss with houzers! You are so right @decoenthusiaste the view is beautiful and one reason why I chose the apartment. the room is longer than it is wide, and I wanted the kitchen/bar to be included in the seating so the attached pic is how I was planning to lay it out. @cdrdesign I can't/change the table, its a gorgeous mahogany piece I had custom made and one I see keeping for some years yet! I dont plan a TV in this room, will put it in another room. This room in for living and entertaining guests. Sorry I dont have layout software, so you will have to make do with my scribbles using powerpoint! Could really do with help on choosing the light fitting in place of the central fan- what would look nice here or should I wait till the furniture gets here to choose the light to match?

Is this actually a 1,260 square foot house or apartment? I would suggest you turn Bedroom 2 into a large master bath attached to the master bedroom. Then, the two small hall bathrooms could be turned into one larger bathroom to serve guests and the person who uses Bedroom 3. If the bathroom fixtures are in good shape, you could use them over to save money and rely on paint and colorful accessories to make the two new bathrooms attractive. If you still want a third bedroom, I suggest you turn the study into a third bedroom. If you could take out the storage closet between the kitchen and the one entry door, this area in the lower right-hand corner of the floor plan could be the dining area, and the living/dining room could serve as one large living room.

Hi Miaw, ok your plan looking good. some comments. 1. would you consider a smaller foyer. some suspense at entry before the wow moment 2. island can be bigger where you can put your sink and some stools. 3. I think some walls not necessary to make it feel more space 4. that store room blocking the window, would you like to open this to bring more natural light, fresher by cross ventilation air moving from one window and out to other. 5. the common bathroom is outside at wet kitchen really? Anyway I think that open kitchen would be fabulous with some rich stone finish !
