Embrace the Possibilities
Transforming Your Condo's Second Bedroom
into a multi-purpose haven.
A Visionary Transformation
Transforming a second bedroom into a multi-purpose room requires creativity, planning, and a keen eye for design. By embracing the possibilities and investing in smart solutions, you can create a space that enhances your lifestyle and meets your diverse needs. Just like Irene and Alvin, you can turn your vision into reality and enjoy the benefits of a well-designed, multi-functional room in your condo.
As a retired couple, Irene and Alvin have always embraced an active, travel-centric lifestyle. However, after four years of adventures in their motorcoach, they yearned for a permanent home base. In 2016, they settled into a cozy two-bedroom condo in Spruce Grove, Alberta. Yet, they needed their new condo to offer more than just a place to rest.
Discovering the Need for a Multi-Purpose Room
Irene, a passionate crafter, wanted a space that could double as her crafting haven, an efficient home office, and a welcoming guest bedroom. The idea of transforming their condo's second bedroom into a multi-purpose room was born out of necessity and a desire for functionality.
Crafting a Vision
With a clear vision in mind, Irene and Alvin set out to create a room that would serve multiple purposes. They envisioned a space that could adapt to their various needs—a crafting area with ample storage for supplies, a home office for productivity, and a comfortable bed for overnight guests. This transformation would not only enhance their lifestyle but also elevate the overall functionality of their condo.
Initial Consultation and Space Assessment
The first step in any successful condo renovation is understanding the space you have and how best to utilize it. To get started, Irene enlisted the help of an interior designer to come up with ideas on how best to use the room space. After doing her homework, Irene turned to Edmonton based Wallbeds-etc and Lead Designer, Lyle Morley. Lyle a seasoned designer with Wallbeds-etc, visited Irene and Alvin’s condo to inspect the room. He took precise measurements and listened attentively to both Irene and their interior designer, ensuring a thorough understanding of their requirements.
A key aspect of the project’s success was the collaborative approach taken by Lyle, Irene, and their interior designer. Lyle presented his initial design drawings and was open to feedback. Together, they made several revisions to ensure every detail was perfect. This iterative process ensured that Irene and Alvin were completely satisfied with the final design.
The Versatility of a Wallbed
Wallbeds or Murphy beds are a game-changer for multi-purpose rooms. When not in use, the bed folds up neatly against the wall, freeing up valuable floor space. This allowed Irene to have an open area for her crafting projects during the day, while easily accommodating overnight guests when needed.
Creating a Functional Home Office
Incorporating a functional home office into the room was another priority. A compact yet stylish desk, complete with ergonomic office furniture, provided a comfortable workspace. With everything neatly organized and within reach, Irene and Alvin found it easy to switch from crafting mode to work mode seamlessly.
Designing for Comfort and Style
Balancing functionality with aesthetics was key. They chose a color palette that felt warm and inviting, with soft lighting to enhance the room's ambiance. Thoughtfully selected decor pieces and comfortable furnishings ensured that the space was not only practical but also a pleasure to spend time in.
What also attracted Irene and Alvin to Wallbeds-etc was the friendly service, wide showroom selection and the fact that all Wallbeds are manufactured right here in Edmonton, including the Araam mattresses, handcrafted, and scientifically designed for the best sleep.
The room design included functionality, lots of features, and multiple levels of storage and organization, and oh yes, a comfortable Wallbed for sleeping. There are tower and overhead cabinets, pull-out night tables, office desk with file drawers, crafting space and television monitor.
