In any of the old time movies or books, there are always stories about big houses with guest rooms where people would stay for weeks at a time. My parent’s and grandparent’s generations have a little room in their house for guests to come and stay for a night or two. Are guest rooms a thing of the past?
My two bedroom apartment consists of a bedroom and an office. I don’t have room for an extra bed. This is a problem because my family all lives two hours away so when they come to visit, they almost always spend the night.
I have found two ways around this problem. The first is to buy a futon—if you have space for it. I took the route of buying a few air mattresses of varying sizes. I get the best of both worlds because my office doubles as a guest room—giving them a private room to stay in and me, my much needed space.
How do you allocate space for guests?
