Not everybody has a large house and if you face the problem of lack of space, combining spaces is a great idea to solve it. We’ve already shown how to incorporate a home office into a bedroom, living room and kitchen and today I’ll share another popular combo: a guest bedroom with a home office.
There are two ways to go: a seamless transition without any space division and visually separating the two zones with design and furniture or colors. You may also go for a sleeping zone with a comfy bed or in the case of extreme lack of space choose a convertible sofa that will become a bed when necessary. Let’s take a look at all the examples.
Combos With Beds
If you have enough space in the guest bedroom, spoil your guests with a real bed and visually divide the working and sleeping zones. A large bed with lots of pillows will make your guests feel like in heaven! Choose a desk in a different shade, place it by the window or next to a wall far from the bed. One more cool idea to divide these zones is making an upper level for the bed and placing the desk under it. If you can’t spend too much space on the working zone, go for a windowsill one, which is no less functional than a usual desk.

Combos With Sofas
If your guest bedroom is very small, you should substitute a bed for a convertible sofa, which doesn’t take much space yet gives enough sleeping space at the same time. One more solution is a built-in storage unit with a Murphy’s bed, which will be a nice idea for sleeping. As for the desk, it can be a windowsill or even a built-in one with built-in shelves. If the room is tiny, there’s no need to separate the spaces anyhow, and there are many combos that allow placing the bed and the desk very closely, the desk can be used as a nightstand.
