Transform Your Spare Bedroom: The Wallbed-etc Space Solution
Many condo owners struggle with making the most of their limited square footage, especially when a traditional bed dominates an entire room. But what if you could have a comfortable guest room AND a productive office space in the same area?
The answer lies in smart space solutions like a Wallbed or also known as a “Murphy Bed” that can completely transform how you use your home. This isn't just about saving space—it's about creating a lifestyle that works for you. One Edmonton couple solved their space challenges and discover how you can do the same.
Why Traditional Spare Bedrooms Don't Work for Modern Living
Most two-bedroom condos face the same challenge: the second bedroom becomes a catch-all space dominated by a bed that's only used occasionally. For active homeowners who need versatile living areas, this setup simply doesn't make sense.
The traditional approach of keeping a permanent bed in your spare room means sacrificing valuable floor space for something you might use only a few times per year.
The Turner's Space Challenge: A Common Condo Dilemma
Meet the Turners, a retired couple living in a two-bedroom condo overlooking Edmonton's Eastern North Saskatchewan River valley. Their beautiful riverside view was something they wanted to enjoy more, but their second bedroom presented a familiar problem.
Like many condo owners, they needed their spare room to serve multiple purposes:
A guest bedroom for visiting family
An office space for daily activities
A craft area for hobbies and projects
Additional storage for their active lifestyle
The challenge? A traditional bed took up most of the room, leaving little space for other activities. As their grandchildren grew older and visited less frequently, the Turners realized they needed a better solution.
Discovering the Wallbeds Solution
The breakthrough came when a neighbor in the same complex shared their recent room transformation. They had installed a Wallbed-n-Desk from Edmonton-based Wallbeds-etc and completely transformed their second bedroom into a multi-functional space.
The Design Process: From Vision to Reality
Inspired by their neighbor's success, the Turner’s contacted Wallbeds-etc Lead Designer Lyle for a consultation. This is where the magic of personalized space solutions begins.

Lyle's approach demonstrates why professional design consultation matters:
Free home inspection: Accurate measurements and space assessment
Needs analysis: Understanding how the space will be used

The Perfect Solution: Murphy Bed with attached Studio Desk
After careful consideration, the Turners chose the Murphy Bed with attached studio Desk Wallbed system with additional features:

This comprehensive approach meant every element worked together to create a cohesive, functional space.
The Power of Professional Design
Lyle's expertise highlights the importance of working with experienced designers for space solutions. As he explains: "Our goal is always to go beyond aesthetics. We design solutions that solve personal challenges while keeping comfort and style at the forefront."
This philosophy shows in the attention to detail throughout the Turners project:
Hardware selection matched their preferences
Color choices complemented existing decor
Finish options enhanced the room's overall appeal
Matching Shelving unit
Even the office chair was selected to match the new space
