As empty nesters, many of our clients find themselves in a familiar scenario—children move out, and the home that once felt full of life is now brimming with unused space. This is precisely where our client found himself when he reached out to us. His spare room, once a child's bedroom, was now underutilized. Rather than leaving it idle, he wanted to reinvent the space to serve multiple purposes—both practical and stylish—without compromising the option of comfortably hosting guests when family visits during the holidays. The solution? Resource Furniture’s Tonale Sofa Wall Bed.

A Perfect Fit for Evolving Lifestyles


The Tonale Sofa, crafted in Italy by CLEI, is a standout in our collection of transformative furniture. The client was particularly drawn to its sleek, modern design and innovative functionality. After all, what better way to maximize a room’s potential than with a sofa wall bed that can transform from a cozy seating area to a comfortable bed with the push of a button?

Available in an optional motorized version, the Tonale opens and closes in under 15 seconds in complete silence—thanks to advanced engineering and sensors that stop the bed if any obstacle, like a stray pillow or even a pet, is detected. This makes it an ideal choice for empty nesters who want multifunctional spaces that adapt to their needs. Our client loved the idea of creating a versatile room—perfect for both everyday relaxation and hosting guests.

Revisiting a Transformed Space

One of the aspects we cherish most in our work is the opportunity to revisit our clients’ spaces, long after the installation, to see how our furniture is serving its purpose. When this client welcomed us back into his home for a photoshoot, it was clear that the Tonale Sofa Wall Bed had not only transformed his spare room, but also his day-to-day living. Seeing how the space had evolved to meet his changing needs was a rewarding reminder of why we love what we do—creating timeless, multifunctional spaces that continue to enrich our clients' lives.


Redefining Luxury and Comfort

By day, the Tonale Sofa exudes modern sophistication. Its sleek lines and tapered steel legs create a polished look, while the Italian craftsmanship ensures luxurious comfort. Whether used as a reading nook, a home office, or simply a tranquil space to unwind, the Tonale Sofa effortlessly complements any design aesthetic. The room, once stagnant, is now alive with possibilities. Our client opted for the motorized open/close feature, elevating the room to a space of modern convenience and luxury.

The customizable Italian fabrics available for the Tonale allowed us to tailor the sofa’s upholstery to match his refined taste. Every detail was carefully selected, from the plush seating to the rich textures, ensuring the sofa became a cohesive element in the overall design.

Multi-Functional Living Made Effortless

For empty nesters, downsizing or rethinking the use of space does not mean sacrificing comfort or style. In fact, it offers an opportunity to enhance the functionality of every square foot. The Tonale Sofa Wall Bed provided our client with the ultimate balance of luxury and practicality.

Now, when his children and grandchildren visit, they can rest easy in a space that feels every bit as comfortable as their former bedrooms. When they are away, the room transforms back into a serene retreat. This flexibility is the key to how empty nesters can maximize their homes without needing to expand their footprint. Multifunctional living, after all, is mindful living—allowing you to live large in smaller spaces, without compromise.
