Opt for a sofa bed size that offers the perfect fit

Obviously one of the biggest perks of a sofa bed is that you get two types of furniture for the footprint of one. When you’re turning your sofa bed inspiration into reality, make sure you consider the dimensions of both the sofa configuration and the bed configuration.

But no matter how much room you have to spare for your sofa bed, there are options that will be perfect for your home.

If your sofa bed will sit in your living room and be used in place of a traditional sofa, then a two- or three-seater option with all the hallmarks of classic sofas — armrests, back cushions, etc. — is ideal.

For something even more spacious, you can even find corner sofas that transform into sleep spaces. The Heddington, for example, is designed to take pride of place in your living room, with a left- or right-facing corner design that pulls out from the long side to fill the space in between with bedding.

On the other hand, if you’re short on space or looking to find sofa bed inspiration for the corner of a guest-bedroom-slash-home-office, there are minimalist options like the Kayden that fold out from a cosy chair to a single bed for a compact yet comfortable snooze.

Go for an unexpected detail to add extra style

Just because a sofa bed is focused on practicality doesn’t mean that it can’t be equally full of style. If you’re looking for sofa bed inspiration to create a standout interior design look that incorporates this versatile furniture type, consider a piece that adds visual appeal to the multifunctional design.

The Shauna sofa bed is covered in plush velvet upholstery fabric, giving it a luxe look that isn’t simply designed to be relegated to a spare room — although it would look great there as well! Opt for the jewel tone blue shade for an extra striking look.

Similarly, a sofa bed with unexpected colours like the green Larry sofa bed or the Aidan patchwork couch are perfect for adding a pop of colour to your space. The vibrant colours of these sofa beds means you’ll want to show them off both day and night.

And if you prefer a more subtle base for your seating and sleeping areas, there are always plenty of options for neutral upholstery alternatives. Jazz them up with cushions and throws and give your sofa bed a homey feel that makes it a part of your interior design plan rather than simply a spare element.
