Library Guest Room Planned For Small Home
Today's small apartments and houses lack space for extra guest rooms. A library or major room can be designed to convert with minimal trouble. Bookshelves hidden by curtains, a desk with extra drawer space, and a washable top suit a dressing table surface. An in-door bed or studio couch keeps the room usable as a library. A desk lamp on an end table doubles as a bedside light. Furnishings should stay light in tone for a bright feel. A double-purpose room can be efficient and attractive.
