Can you sort out the measurements for us? your short wall appears to have the longer measurements currently...

Have you thought of a murphy bed?

the measurements are accurate, the drawing of the room to scale is not. it was just a quick drawing. i am hoping to make this room just a guest room, no office. I have family members that can't climb stairs. on the window wall, 112" I was thinking full bed in the middle with a night stand on each side. full bed frame is 57" that would leave 27.5" on each side of the bed which seems like enough to me. or if I put a queen there, 63" frame would be 24.5" on each side.

Who will be staying the most, singles or couples? If mostly singles, then I would just do a full bed.

Just over 2 feet on either side isn't that much space if your guests are elderly, overweight and/or have mobility issues.

I just helped my daughter in law with a very similar sized guest room and layout (didn’t have the bump out). She had a queen bed on long wall as well as a dresser, but realized there was wasted floor space and distance from end of bed to the opposite wall was quite tight.

We moved the bed to under window, (only able to use one night stand, but added a chair at other end of room which is more useful) and created a room that felt more spacious. Bed under window works best if you have a low/airy headboard.

Our tiny bedroom only has 25" on either side. it's fine, and that's actually more room than we had compared to our previous apartment! this is our main bedroom, have been living this way for years.

Will there be couples among your guests? Sometimes adults? Sometimes children? Sometimes both?

With the head of a bed beneath the window, you could have room for a rectangle storage seat at the foot of the bed for storage -- bedding, etc.

Below the window, a full bed frame and mattress/spring set at 54" wide would leave you 54" -- 27" on each side -- room for either a pair of narrow bedside tables with lamps or floor a pair of narrow floor lamp table combo units. If you have the option, you might want to choose bedside units with storage.

A pair of twin beds beds at 38" wide in a 112" width space would leave an additional 38" in the center - less, of course, whatever amount of space you left between beds and wall.

Make sure whatever bed you get is not to high or low for an elderly relative ... it matters. With arthritic knees, it can be difficult to climb up out of a bed or do much in the way of climbing up into one. With a non slip stool, slightly boosting oneself up to go to bed is easier than climbing up out of the bed.

If only one twin is needed, you'd have room for seating beside the bed at the window.

You might also consider a day bed -- they come with or without a trundle -- and can have two sides rather than a headboard. Make sure any day bed comes with an actual twin bed mattress ... not some narrow or thin uncomfortable pad.

A trundle would likely either be a low pad or one of those metal spring kind you collapse to put beneath the bed -- not the best idea for an elderly person.

Consider choosing a good sturdy twin/full adjustable metal bed frame (preferably with wheels) with no headboard so you could put the bed beneath the window, have easy access to both sides and not have a lot of stuff in the way to trip over.

It really depends on who is going to be using the room. Two people can't sleep in a full size bed (heck I can't sleep in a queen with my husband). I love Maureen's suggestions for an open and airy headboard under the window. No bulky furniture and you'll be fine.

I would get a queen size you have the room. 24" night tables both sides of the bed. You don't really need a dresser in a guest room. Most won't in pack a suitcase unless they are staying a long time. I would think about putting a desk n the alcove instead. A chair and a flat surface are more useful than a dresser. It looks like the ideal placement in this space

I have a single bed with a trundle that pops up to make a queen sized bed. Saves on space and it is quite comfortable.

these are all great suggestions. thank you so much! I just learned about Houzz and I am impressed by so many comments and ideas.

Oh and mostly older guests would be staying in the room. we have family members that can't climb stairs. also hoping to put the occasional couple that sleeps over in there as well. again thank you all!

My trundle is not this fancy. Just a frame really. The trundle pops up so it forms a queen sized bed.

IMO a trundle still needs the space for it to function but I would do a queen and if at all possible change the closet door to a barndoor type too it will make the space feel bigger . get fab bedding and make it feel a lux as you can

not done, but this is what we did so far. still have to switch out the rug and repaint the second night stand. thanks everyone for your advise. we did decide to go with a full bed after all.

Very nice start.

The room looks nice. I would suggest getting new blackout curtains instead of the light sheets you currently have. They do nothing to block out light now. I need it dark to sleep.

I would remove footboard, turn the rug and get 2 larger lamps.
