Many people do not need a guest room all of the time, so they combine a guest room with a home office so the space is not wasted. Here are a few designer tips and tricks for making a multipurpose home office and guest room. OrganizedSince a multipurpose room has two seperate functions in one space, everything must be very organized to have a guest room and home office that function well and look aesthetically pleasing together. There can be no clutter and not too many fussy accessories in order for the room to be able to transition between the two functions. All of your messy office items (stacks of paper, bills, sticky notes) should be put away when guests are using the room. It should ideally feel like a hotel suite, and your guests should not feel like they are invading your personal space. Invest in attractive storage containers or baskets to keep your messy stuff out of sight. Smaller FurnitureYou most likely will not be able to fit a king sized bed in a bedroom with a home office. Use a twin bed with a trundle underneath for maximum space. You can even use a murphy bed or sleeper sofa for even more space. Narrow DeskSince many people use laptop computers or flat screen monitors, a 24" or 30" deep desk is not necessary. Try to use an 18" deep desk instead.

Use tall shelving units, wall hung shelving, or bookcases. Photo by Ashley Bell Interiors - Search home office pictures SecurityIf you have any sensitive information or breakable items (computer) in your home office, you might want to make sure they are locked up prior to having guests, especially if those guests are rowdy children. Consider having at least one locking cabinet in your home office. Photo by California Closets Studio City, California - Look for home office design inspiration Murphy BedConsider using a Murphy bed, which is a bed that folds up into the wall when not in use. You can buy a complete bed or a DIY Murphy bed kit. Photo by Lynne Scalo Design - Look for bedroom pictures Closet OfficeAnother option for a home office in a guest room is to have the office in the guest room closet. Make sure to provide your guests with alternate places to hang their garments, such as in a wardrobe or armoire. You might also like the article How to Decorate a Happy Home Office.

Surrounded by oak trees overlooking Linekin Bay, sits this newly renovated artists' cottage and over 60 years of family history. Knickerbocker Group worked with the homeowners to restore the home and meet their present needs while maintaining its original charm and preserving its heritage. The home was first built in 1950 by our client’s grandparents, who at the time, were living down the street with their parents in a cottage named Treetops. Wanting a place of their own, they purchased this piece of land and worked with local shipbuilders to construct a home from blueprints outlined on the pages of The American Home magazine. Six decades later and in the middle of winter, Knickerbocker Group retraced their steps.
The Two-Bedroom Modern Large Cabin home is ideal for a small family or as a vacation house. It has a large master bedroom suite with walk-in closet and ensuite bath. The second bedroom can be used as a guest bedroom or children's room, and the additional office room can be converted into a small bedroom. The plan focuses on the southern exposure views and lights. The living and dining rooms are one ample open space with two large glass sliders on each side. Both glass sliders function as floor-to-ceiling windows and bring the outdoor landscape into the interior. The L-shape kitchen provides long counter space for cooking enthusiasts, and the central island is the perfect location for family and friends to gather while they prepare the holiday dinner together. The kitchen windows are long and horizontal, which brings tons of natural light to the area. The entry is next to the kitchen to have easy access in and out of the grocery.
