Hidden Guest Bed

Incorporate a guest bed into your current design instead of putting up new walls to get another bedroom. This Murphy bed uses a suspension system which makes it feasible to lift one finger. On both sides of this queen-size bed, a market in the wall acts as a side table and can be wired with a reading light.

A red accent wall adds the look of depth to this room and feels daring and cheerful in contrast to the basement's simple black and white scheme. The gallery wall features original drawings from designer Theresa Casey and her husband, Robert Gray.

Lower-Level Guest Bedroom-Wallpaper one wall instead of four.

In the 2009 Princess Margaret Showhome, the lower level was finished with fashion. A focal wall has been covered in a textured background while others were painted a creamy white to optimize lighting. A chandelier and table lamps allow guests to choose their favorite lighting.
