15. A Bed of Murphy
You may want your basement mainly to be a gaming or entertainment space, but when you need an extra place to sleep, you still wish you could accommodate guests down there. A choice that will give you the best of all worlds is a Murphy bed. It is a folding bed, and remember, you can fold it against the wall. So it just seems like a series of cabinets when it's not being used, and you're free to use your basement room any way you want when no one is staying overnight.
Murphy beds have to be custom-built, and most people employ a specialist to do that for them. There are full DIY kits online if you are really into DIY and YouTube videos to help you create it. Don't you know why you want to make a promise to create a big piece of furniture to cover a bed? It is also possible to purchase a folding cot mattress that can be rolled in and out of closet space.
