«In crowded but not mad» – says popular wisdom, and many of us know that this is the absolute truth when it comes to a small city apartment. A young family of two can comfortably equip a small apartment. Difficulties begin when guests arrive …
As a rule, there are no rooms for guests in apartments, so visitors have to be accommodated based on the situation. We offer several ideas on how and where to accommodate guests in a small apartment.
Inflatable furniture for guests
A truly ingenious invention of modern design – inflatable beds. When folded, they take up very little space, do not require any maintenance and are safely stored in the closet. And when you need to accommodate guests, you just take out an air bed and a pump – and now a sleeping place for a couple of people is ready. Of course, this design will require free space, but as a last resort, such a bed can be placed even in the kitchen or hallway at night, and removed again for the day..
Inflatable beds are almost ideal for accommodating guests. When used correctly, such furniture serves for a very long time and will help you out many times..
Folding bed for guests
The standard Soviet version is a folding bed on which guests can be accommodated. Let’s say right away that the option is not ideal: firstly, only one person can fit on the folding bed (i.e. for a small family that has come to you, you need 2-3 of them), and secondly, the folding bed takes up quite a lot of space.
Nevertheless, this option for accommodating guests has a right to exist. A single clamshell can be installed even in a small kitchen, so you won’t have any problems with space.
Sofa in the living room
A folding sofa or armchair allows you to accommodate guests with almost no problems. However, if you are going to choose furniture for the living room, taking into account the possibility of its unfolding, this significantly limits your choice of design. On the other hand, if the sofa converts into a double bed, it will save you from the problems of accommodating guests forever..
Of course, we only looked at options when you need to host guests at home. Of course, if you can rent a hotel room or a daily apartment for your visitors, accommodation problems disappear by themselves. But if your guests are planning to stay with you, we hope our article will help you with choosing a solution.
