When
people hear the word “futon” they often imagine a
thin mattress that is situated close to the floor.
However, the world of futons has exploded and
expanded, making futon fold-up beds an attractive
choice for the bedroom and for the rest of the home
as well. Futons are now stylish and more comfortable
than ever. Following are three specific ways to use
futon fold-up beds to enhance your décor and to use
your space wisely.

Using
Futon Fold-up Beds in the Guest Room
Futon beds are a perfect choice for a guest room or
study, as this room is generally used for many
purposes. Few of us have the luxury of keeping a
guest room exclusively for guests – rather, our
guest rooms are often studies for teenagers, office
space for parents, and play rooms for smaller
children. The beauty of a futon bed is that it
easily converts from a comfortable bed into a
space-saving couch, leaving plenty of floor space
for computer desks, TV stands, and even a small
table. The addition of a futon bed in the guest room
allows for great flexibility of space and use.
Futons
for the Living Room
A cedar wood futon bed with an attractive colorful
futon mattress doubles as a comfortable couch for
entertaining and relaxing in the living room or
family area. Add a lovely coffee table or end or
side tables to create a truly functional space. For
a charming country-side decor, choose a country
futon frame and place a rectangular coffee table
that has a natural wood finish next to it. Add a
comfortable wooden rocker or glider next to your
futon for an added touch of warmth. If your living
room is more formal, choose a more traditional frame
and place Mission End tables with a rich merlot
finish on each side of the frame. For an added touch
of elegance, place a Mission Plant Stand with a
bonsai plant on top and watch your living room
transform into a classy abode.
Futons
for the Kids
Futon fold-up beds are perfect, as well, as a
practical alternative to a regular bed or couch in
the children’s room. Use the futon as a permanent
bed at night and fold it up during the day, giving
your children a sofa where they can lounge and
relax. If you prefer to have a regular bed for the
children, use a futon bed as an additional sleeping
and reading location within the children’s room.
Enjoy the futon as a couch most of the time, and
then when the children have overnight guests and
slumber parties, the futon can effortlessly convert
into an extra bed for numerous children to sleep. |

While futon fold-up beds are incredibly functional
and practical, they can also be dressed up with
embroidered or brightly colored pillows. With their
wooden frames, futon beds are decorators’ top choice
for their client’s homes. They save space, have
multiple functions, and can be dressed up or down as
desired.
