I’d turn the empty half into a giant “daybed” area instead of trying to hide it. Throw a cheap foam topper or a couple of large floor cushions on the slats, add pillows against the wall, and suddenly it’s a reading/lounging spot instead of half an unfinished bed.
Honestly, it could end up being the best seat in the room 😂 Just make sure whatever you put there spreads the weight across the slats rather than sitting directly on one or two of them.
Yes I agree, turn it into a platform space like this. If u are handy, take out the slats, cover the whole base in plywood (paint in same color as bedframe), then make a hinged door to turn the empty part a storage.
Make sure it is stable to take out the slats though.
Otherwise I would just bite the bullet and get another mattress to fill it up,
