Many guest bedrooms lead double or triple lives as home offices, craft spaces or playrooms, meaning adaptability is key. 'A bed curtain is a good addition in a multi-purpose room as it provides guests with a sense of privacy, while also meaning that you can neatly hide the bed behind a curtain when not in use,' advises Tim Walters, managing director of George Spencer Designs.
