How to Design a 10x10 Home Office That Doubles as a Stylish Guest Room

February 20, 2025


10x10 secondary bedrooms are becoming more and more common.

However, many homeowners feel discouraged and confused about what to do with what appears to be such a small room at first glance.

But there are far more possibilities for this space than you think! Whether you are looking to turn this room into a guest room, home office, or anything in between, Wilmington Blinds & More can guide you with space-savvy strategies to achieve the room of your dreams.
 

Make Working From Home Work for You With a Custom Home Office

As more and more people continue to work from home, it is important to have a space that is both comfortable and conducive to productivity. While you may not be able to picture your office set up squeezed into the corner of a bedroom, we carry customizable home office solutions that will make your space more efficient.

Your home office isn’t limited to an Ikea desk and a set of drawers. It can be a productive and personalized space, without swallowing up an entire room. Adding a built-in cabinet and desk fixture is a great place to start. This will be the base of your work area, with a great start to building up storage as well.

If you find yourself needing an extended work area but don’t have the space to commit to a permanent fixture like an L-shaped desk, fold-away desks are the perfect solution! Expand your desk space when you need to, and simply stow it away at the end of the day. Fold-away desks offered at Wilmington Blinds & More also come equipped with additional drawer storage on the bottom, so you can make the most of your space and meet all your storage needs. However, if that is still not enough, we can equip you with customized wall-mounted cabinets for your home office as well. The best part? All these features can be added to just one wall, leaving you with plenty of space to spare.

Consider factors such as access to outlets and distance from windows when deciding where to center your workspace. You don’t want to have to run extension cords across a room just to plug in your computer. You also wouldn’t want the sun shining in your eyes if you were to put your desk in front of a window.





  


 

The Perfect Guest Space Setup

If you want to maintain your guest-hosting abilities, but don’t want or have dedicated space for out-of-towners you only see a few times a year, Wilmington Blinds & More has solutions! Murphy and credenza beds can be added to your home office (or almost any other room in your home) to give you additional sleeping space without sacrificing your work-from-home space.

For example, take the home office setup suggested above. On the adjoining wall to your office space, install a murphy bed for guest accommodations. No need to squeeze a flimsy inflatable mattress into your living room. Murphy beds allow your guests to sleep comfortably and peacefully in their own space, without giving up a whole room of your home for the rest of the year or wasting your hard-earned money on air mattress after air mattress.
 


If you feel like installing a murphy bed is too overwhelming, or if you are on a time crunch, credenza beds can be utilized in a similar manner. Simply roll them out when you need them, and tuck the bed neatly away into an inconspicuous credenza once your company departs. Credenza beds are often more timely to purchase and install from our showroom! They come equipped with storage drawers so you can keep your guest linens in a dedicated, convenient spot, and their lush memory foam mattresses are sure to give your guests a good night’s sleep. Credenza beds also offer more flexibility when it comes to placement since they are not permanently installed and take up less space.
