How would you dress the box room - to sell?

[Twoshoesnewshoes]

We have a tiny fourth bedroom, 6’ x 7’
you can fit a single bed either way - it currently has a small double in cos my DS insisted.
wondering if I should
a) leave it with the small double- looks a bit squished (but does have a chest of drawers)
b) dress as a study office with futon
c) dress with a single bed and chest of drawers?
the other three rooms are good size doubles, one is very large.
there is a study office area downstairs and two lounges.

I think it’s impressive you’ve got a double bed in there and should leave it as it is (Nice neutral bedding is key for good photos though). I wouldn’t dress it as an office as it’s a given that a room that can fit a double bed could work as an office. Perhaps create an office corner in another part of the house eg on a landing or living room or kitchen corner? Post a pic here maybe.

Thank you @Buskingit
the box room is painted pale white (a bluey shade) so light and neutral.
there is a study downstairs all set up
shoild I take the chest of drawers out?

If you’ve still got your kids cot and some lovely toys id dress it as a babies room
We have done this and all the wooden toys and colourful blankets gave the room a purpose and brightened things up

The other alternative is a home office, useful these days but not as enchanting

Oh my youngest is 21 so no baby things sadly!

How cramped is the chest of drawers? If you can put a nice case or something on the top to centre it then great as it looks like a viable bedroom rather than a box room. I think we need a diagram!

I think keep the double bed it just shows off the space - people might be happy to see that’s a guest room
or they’d know that smaller things like a desk or cot would be fine

Leave the double, I would be impressed with a box room that can fit a double. Most people will probably want to use it as an office or bedroom with a single bed in, so will know it looks cramped because of the double bed.

I meant vase … not case!

Er - regardless of how you 'dress' it ... It's minute.
I wouldn't spend any time trying to 'disguise' that.

Can you swap the CoD for a smaller version?

Tbh i woule remember no storage in that room but not why if looking at a number of places.

If you set it up as a baby room ask around among frienda there will be someone who knows someone who wants to get rid of a cot.

But if you are removing the double bed I would go single bed + study desk and toys as I would assume the 4 bed is for second time buyers who have out grown their first house or FTB will see space for the cot anyway.

Good luck

Here’s my box room, much smaller than yours, clearly very much a spare guest room, I normally have a lamp next to the bed too.

It looks, I think, cosy a friendly, and with yours in mind I would say it is “dressed for selling”.
not sure what you can take from this, hopefully something.

Gorgeous….. I’m also ogling at the original sash and door

Waiting sign off for repair!

Yes I see
We’ve had sashes repaired, it’s tricky but perfectly doable

@Tortephant that looks lovely- what’s the paint colour?
thanks all - I’ll leave the double in, I’ve also managed to swap the drawers for a smaller chest so there’s more floor space.

Leave as is . It would be a waste of money to buy a single bed purely to demonstrate the room is a bedroom

No idea, sorry. It was that colour when we bought it.

This - if you can fit a double in for guests it will tick that box for those who need it
