Easy Ways to Save Space with a Murphy Bed

Do you have a small bedroom or live in a studio apartment? Clutter can easily be accumulated when you have a small space, but no one likes to have cramped spaces. Luckily, there is one space-saving solution that you can use; murphy wall beds. Put simply, this is a type of furniture that’s made from durable plywood and hardwood. It is a multifunctional bed that folds upwards into a shelving unit so there is plenty of space left behind. Murphy beds can be custom made for specific mattress sizes as well as wall sizes. They are an ideal choice for small spaces or for people who work from home and need some additional space for doing so.

When you are interested in finding a space-saving option for a guest room, many people would recommend that you go for a futon or a sofa because these would be less expensive. However, the simple fact is that these options can often be an eyesore and will actually end up taking a lot more space as compared to a wall bed. Moreover, futons are quite comfortable, so they may not be a practical choice. In contrast, when you go for a custom Murphy wall bed, you will be able to maintain the aesthetic of your home and save space simultaneously.

Outlined below are just some of the ways you can save space with a Murphy bed:

Find the right Murphy bed

If you want to save space by getting a Murphy bed, you first need to think about the space where you will keep it. Do you want to take up an entire wall for the Murphy bed? Do you wish to have a window near the bed? It may be impossible or, at the very least, difficult to rearrange the Murphy bed once you have gotten it installed. Therefore, it is essential for you to consider exactly where you want the bed to be and how it should be placed.

Utilize the shelving compartments of your Murphy bed

A Murphy bed typically comes with shelving compartments and you can save a lot of space if you use them for placing books, décor, records and other items that are usually spread around the room. In fact, some

Murphy beds that are specifically designed for studio apartments and apartment owners who don’t have a lot of closet space will give you the option of hanging clothes as well. Sometimes, there is space under the ceiling and on top of the Murphy bed, which can also come in handy when you want to keep potted plants or décor.

Display the artwork

If a lot of space in your room is taken up by artwork, you can move some of them to the Murphy bed. When the bed is folded up, there is a lot of space behind it. You can put some paintings there, which saves space and looks chic at the same time.

Choose a desk design

You can get a Murphy bed custom-made for your needs with an additional desk attached to the bed’s frame. This design is great for self-employed people or students who wish to save space in their bedroom. There are also some useful Murphy bed designs that come with a fold out table attacked to the bed’s underside. You can just fold the Murphy bed and pull out the table from the bottom. This is a great option for a child’s room or a craft room.

These are some wonderful and easy ways that you can save space with the help of a Murphy bed.
