Multiuse Room 2013 Decorating Ideas

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="text-align: left;">With flexible furnishings and a little imagination, an extra bedroom shows how to finesse a floor plan, boost square footage, and create a versatile room that's as handsome as it is hardworking. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: orange;"><b>By Allison Maze </b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-4VfTtfSQ-TAgKmgodbn0bPi6mH0ToDAXmcPzUOSqlqRzTgXeUO8V50UpSb5878cYmsz-Zq3dHG7nu4MDfGwiR_nGp4JDJZKMKWyzNKVJrnNZt5kmn70lwjZ-aXvKTu3m34GK1msJIcU/s640/Multiuse-Room-2013-Decorating-Ideas.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Adaptable storage and handmade charm transform this spare room into a single do it all space for family and guests. A DIY daybed dressed with throw pillows converts to a bed when guests come knocking. Crate-style cabinets stocked with extra linens pull double duty as nightstands holding an alarm clock, a lamp, books, and decor. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6UFo3UkFD-G7Wonmgh9g8upf1R5uKlvGs_KLMnqec9g-ft7OBQwG0VhkfJGRFBCWPRR5-QzJikeVxVpIHd0IP68hOIb2fk1pOSAxwHWJKWGWlDK2A7QQhLhmd7N1sJIgVSy5DNuyZ8sA/s640/Multiuse-Room-2013-Decorating-Ideas-2.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Hairpin legs lend midcentury flair to the bed's custom built platform. The legs create the perfect amount of clearance to tuck away suitcases and extra office items under the bed. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA74EUIBsZ5Hjf33bNLToar_WDUyUj_QAoubE3FumG5MeWjUE9AbaEN4uy2b395cinmrQSLqDagNCb2QV1RWcqA-FTSUqCTnP1CLOWwzRBGDSC9UHiCkh2n2L9EkAescNyrLee0WUP0VM/s640/Multiuse-Room-2013-Decorating-Ideas-3.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Multiuse rooms are chameleons, able to modify function to fill different needs and often at the drop of a hat. Double duty furniture and a mix of crafty amenities fill this all in one space with purpose, style, and comfort. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvYrV6qnm6LFYU2LV9zV8ttW2ftSliqMlS6P-Fr0T-QJfzc_HAZ4SHb2LhCi1H2pzIViWxtTG5l5Dnb9A2TYsN-G0M7IJzOo2SUuLl75oXp0lNEIIrWsVmvsZeLGwLmGqBF_qWHak0pxc/s640/Multiuse-Room-2013-Decorating-Ideas-4.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">To optimize multiuse spaces, focus on incorporating furniture that's both practical and versatile. Moveable pieces such as wheeled bins and carts encourage you to repurpose or simply roll into a corner when floor space is at a premium. Here, a clear acrylic end table wheels up as an extra work surface and neatly tucks away when not in use. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK4pa7AcmDdFBLA3A6qIfWJIwvnVc7VmxR7EgCkkvRzeWDXNU9-f0xPOh_XN0Tt2Gj5ELwy12a1ezaP9zE8J7xBivk_-v2FZic17XdFhmaXvJZI0omSSjK3URvhV2b5tm5_9QUuZnm44Q/s640/Multiuse-Room-2013-Decorating-Ideas-5.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Plush, easy sew accent pillows made from wool felt dress up the DIY daybed and add a layer of comfort in keeping with the room's woodland theme. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMv41B34byDJjUcwf3GuielJ7Gp3pFL8WD0QEcg8koQx3gFtYl85GCEEM8GvkYwUWubbwUmmJ3RjoScJcqHY2YE58X3mdGVzf2VezzwDmWEPj21GNyiMcSVvUas-YtWaWrBuDkV_il2XQ/s640/Multiuse-Room-2013-Decorating-Ideas-6.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">A collection of message boards framed with white molding transforms a blank wall into a communication station for guests and family members. A handmade wood and concrete bench anchors the arrangement and provides space for display items. Woven baskets stow reading materials beneath the bench. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6rY0c5imL5BvhLhpHqttGO6cziRP-sx7jvsX0TReoCDt5NqPwpL7Jua507YJsFMjtZk2c3sHz9OS5wOT0cpoZ7do2S09uG0A4DiBK6ZejRz6n4rIxbv0d_RbLNSvg4q7joIFA_PRr_Sg/s640/Multiuse-Room-2013-Decorating-Ideas-7.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">A stealthy charging station fashioned from a vintage toolbox keeps phones, music players, and cameras fully charged and cords tangle free. Within the box, a board cut with cord holes covers a power strip. Simply close the box's lid to cover electronic devices and showcase its patinaed charm. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvGXffSsTvEk_ktmmXcY1pAvI07mQcjLwmPVAXeGA-eYyYjqgl2iCu8zc2MzB0teVa1gmW3A05w4M1WigTgXzRaRBx-1_-Oy1ouHAcFg7yEB4uqsTMfKG2HN3_5tMImrek1YZd7Sw5L2s/s640/Multiuse-Room-2013-Decorating-Ideas-8.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Small, smart touches amplify function throughout the office area. Refinished vintage desk accessories and clever paper management tools make the work area pretty, practical, and productive. Adding a pullout shelf to the cabinet near the computer desk creates an easy to access spot for a printer and paper supplies when they’re needed. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaxqC5RQGGVo8RBh0JHfZmLDLpL5ThpqSwf5pWrlA860HKEcdQSLjkhurlOTe4wyex5bBkDBfjE7bWOl26LAh6E012SvQ1h0WBwHeoPo2zGhyphenhypheneN2N3bkgcGAuAczYwuoE8F03VxyvggEE/s640/Multiuse-Room-2013-Decorating-Ideas-9.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The room’s standard 6 foot wide closet was converted into a hobby station that can be quickly masked behind canvas curtains. A pegboard, paper files, and ribbon dispensers put the wall to work. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfWA6IaZ_9Jjisn0KIGYT0j1P3BRxavqnagbFqepfZoQ886uUCtfIt_zoSuVsQVkuMJt0t96dkwxGzVBYQlp7mQ3neirIf4ex0N_gPM2bVe6fPJ6dt-I-XYsIDFi4vhQtp0Ybp7kcLG3M/s640/Multiuse-Room-2013-Decorating-Ideas-10.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Inside the closet, a metal pegboard provides sleek, efficient access to crafts tools and supplies. A wall mount ribbon holder makes gift wrapping a snap. Small buckets of colored pencils stay organized and accessible on a desktop turntable. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoznJn8tOqTOtMolxyvFW9DNzgf-LMLdeB7T99mAP4-2VL3BphahhojetsW5kFyE8F8fhdJVVlg9gMudWKrcdMKmYcp5TzezRRrn_7X2NaX_3JNcOLWApORh00n0i_cuhwFr_Lnmk7p94/s640/Multiuse-Room-2013-Decorating-Ideas-11.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Keeping hobby supplies in check is easy with smart storage. Acrylic drawer dividers corral tiny crafts accessories, such as buttons, brads, and stickers. Clear jars identify precut ribbon by color. A container resembling a lunch box serves as a sewing kit with needles, scissors, and thread. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div>
