I’m buying my first flat soon to live in by myself, and originally I assumed it’d be a studio. Because of this I thought I’d get a murphy/wall bed. I used to live in Japan and folded a futon every day, so the effort of putting the bed up/down doesn’t bother me.

Now, I realised some 1-bed flats are in budget, but I still want to use a wall bed since it seems such a good way to maximise space. Since my job is 100% work from home, I’m thinking of using the bedroom as a separate office and having a wall bed in the living / kitchen space. Is this crazy? Is this genius? I’ve never seen anyone do this layout, but to me separating work space and leisure space feels like a bigger win than having a separate sleeping space but having to look at my desk and think about work while I’m trying to chill out and watch TV or hang out with friends. I use a proper ergonomic chair and 2nd monitor so the cute&small tidy-away office corner / laptop on the dining table isn’t an option for me.
