It was very cramped when using the computer so I often brought it downstairs to the dining table, but it was then in the way for meals.
I had a very small sewing room, filled with shelving and a table wedged under the window between the shelves. It was OK but quite cramped.
I have had one overnight guest in over 4 years and have bought a sofa bed. So decided to make the best use of the house for me but find some solution for guests if/when they come.
So I donated the guest bed, and have just ordered two of these.
I have switched the study and sewing rooms over. The folding mattresses will probably be seating in the study. The table in the study has removable legs. So if guests come I will move the computer, take the legs off the table and move it out the room, unfold the mattresses and give them a private space.
I also still have the sofa bed in the living room, so can host up to 4 people if needed, but have more space for my computer and sewing all the rest of the year. I think a happy compromise.

That's a good idea. I once had cubes like these and they worked well. I have guests (family usually) rather more often and still need a bed solution. I have spare rooms one of which would make a nice dedicated sewing room completely getting up the dining room - which we only tend to use when we have visitors. I haven't worked out the best solution.
Look like a good solution and rather comfy looking too.
I don't really have a spare room (flat too small) but I do think most people keep a space for others to stay in while their main hobby is compromised. Sounds like a good fix Ruth.
yes, that's a smart thinking to use the room for your everyday use (sewing) than use it once in a rare while.. You are getting more value out of your 2 spare rooms with that one decision.
