As it is private and free from any other distractions.

A similar design to the bedroom above that works just as well, and offers bed space for a shared room. Revolutionising the age-old method of bedsits of storing the bed away in a pull-down area. Put a bed on runners so it can easily be pushed away in the day to give more floor space.
