Have friends over!

A small space is sometimes a burden for a home owner to come up with ideas. The key? Maximize!

Tip: A daybed! :)

Daybeds -a cross between a bed, chaise lounge, and couch. Commonly used for lounging, reclining, seating.

Seen mostly in common rooms, a day bed could help you maximize your space. If you're the most hospitable one in the neighborhood and you've got no extra room to turn it into a guest area well putting a day bed in your office, library, game room or any room you could possibly let your friend stay for the night might help.

Again. Let's maximize!

Drawers under the daybed isn't actually for storage. Move the coffee table aside and pull out the drawer and you've got another bed! Basically, the drawers you see [photo] aren't really drawers. Tricky? Yes! And practical!

But if you wish to have more storage than more sleeping space, well you could substitute the pull-out bed with real drawers.

                        

                         

Some think that when you say daybeds it must be by a window. Yes, that's the idea. But it doesn't ALWAYS have to be there.

You could substitute your bed with a day bed especially if you're in an small apartment. It gives you the feeling of a couch and a bed at the same time. That way, you maximize the space.

COLOR.

Earth tones are in nowadays. With all the "be eco-friendly" thing going on. But that has nothing to do with that -not unless you use eco-friendly paints. But I must say, you should give them a try.

Back to the colors. The greens, browns, and whites come together if you want to achieve the tone. Accent the room with a bit of red, orange or yellow -but not all together. That would hurt your eyes. You wouldn't wanna strain your eyes with too much vibrancy. Put the accent colors maybe on pillows, coffee table runner, scented candles, or the plants.

Remember, a pop of cray wouldn't hurt one bit! Have a great day!
