The one uninterrupted wall. on the left of the cedar wardrobe is the entry door; the bedside table is in a corner.
Ideas to have a bed when needed without using a sleeper sofa for seats
+9
I have a small 2 bedroom cabin. A queen bed for the rare overnight guests fills the 2nd BR. I am wanting a way to make that room a useable space, like a den, but I still need a bed occasionally. A daybed is too small; and there is no place to move chairs out of the way if made a murphy bed. There is only one useable large wall due to inside opening french doors, a sliding barn-door style bathroom door, and a closet on each of the other walls.
View of bathroom door when closed, slides back to the left. The French doors are at foot of bed.
It seems the only way to have seating and a two person bed in that room is an inflatable bed, a sofa bed, or futon. There are also club chairs that open onto beds and of course bunk beds. If a 5 x 6 ft bed takes up the entire room now, you have to consider folding beds if you want to have a dual purpose room. Folding beds can be made more comfortable with an inflated matress on top.
I would put a murphy bed in right where it is right now..... the only obstacle I see is the ceiling fan light kit. You should be able to either install a smaller light kit on the fan, or replace it with the newer style that is more flush to ceiling. https://www.thespruce.com/diy-murphy-bed-projects-every-budget-4110832
The bonus is you can make a desk under the murphy bed that revels itself when you put the bed up.

If you got rid of the double bed, and got a single bed instead, this would immediately give you twice the floor space.
Keep a separate mattress under the bed, for the rare times when there are two persons sleeping.
If it was in your budget, I would suggest a trundle bed.
I think turning it into a murphy bed sofa is the way to go!
Murphy beds can be vertical or horizontal.
I had another thought, you could use a convertible sofa. These are actually comfortable to sleep on.... https://www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdp/zipcode-design-bianca-convertible-sofa-zipc1827.html and fold flat in minutes.
i like my couch ... the model i have is a jack knife style. find the lever, click it and the back lays flat. more of a twin size.
I had another thought, how a bought a convertible sofa, these are very comfy and fold up in seconds. These are not pull out, they just fold flat..... https://www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdp/wrought-studio-porcaro-wood-adjustable-wood-frame-sleeper-sofa-vrkg6174.html?piid=23436840
