Why this room works.

This 13 by 11 foot living room doubles as a guest room without looking like one. The horizontal queen folds into an 86 inch wide cabinet that stands 67 inches high and 20 inches deep, holding a 60 by 80 inch mattress on a horizontal queen hardware kit that runs about $229. Two 24 inch wide bookcases flank the bed and an 18 inch overhead bridge cabinet ties the wall together, so the whole built in spans 134 inches wide and rises 85 inches toward the 9 foot ceiling.

With the bed up, the wall reads as warm white slab fronts with walnut wardrobe doors and brushed brass hardware, and the living room keeps its full floor for seating and conversation. Lower the bed and the dashed outline on the plan reaches about 67 inches from the back wall, leaving roughly 65 inches at the foot, which is plenty of room to walk around a queen bed and make it in the morning.

The built-in sits on the 13-foot wall. The dashed outline extends about 67 inches from the back wall, leaving roughly 65 inches at the foot of the bed. The built-ins are finished in warm white, walnut, and brushed brass. The 134-inch modern cabinet leaves the rest of the living room open when the bed is up. 13 x 11 ft room with a 9 ft ceiling.
