Three Ways to Use a Murphy Bed in Your Home 

Murphy bed is the perfect combination of form and function for any homeowner who wants to make the most out of their available space. There are many different situations where a Murphy bed could be the best and most viable option to create space and add extra living and sleeping areas to your home all at the same time. Tailored Living, your local home organization specialists, have provided you with three possible scenarios in which a Murphy, or wall bed, could be implemented.

You should consider a Murphy wall bed if…

You live in a studio apartment 

• A small one bedroom or studio apartment is the ideal living space to implement a Murphy bed. The bed can fold up and out of the way to make room for having guests over, using more space for exercise activities, or just for hanging out. If you are limited in your space due to the apartment that you live in and you don’t want to downgrade to a smaller bed, just get a wall bed to make up for the space that you would have lost!

You need extra sleeping space for guests

• Murphy beds are the perfect solution for housing extra guests in your home. Stashing a Murphy bedin a home office, spare bedroom, or even an extra bed in your children’s room could be the perfect solution for providing extra sleeping space during the holidays or when you have friends in town.

You are converting your basement/attic into an extra living space

The Magic of Murphy Beds

Let's face it, space is precious and more often than not, we just don't have enough of it! When it comes to creating multipurpose rooms in our homes, a common obstacle is finding space for a bed. Whether it's twin or king-sized, any bed will dominate the room, limiting its functionality and decor. Sofa beds, although convenient at times, can be clunky and uncomfortable. When not in use, they do provide extra seating space but will eat up valuable floor space. That is where the magic of murphy beds comes in!

A perfect solution to any multipurpose or guest room, a growing number of interior designers and builders are turning to these wall beds to maximize space in small spaces. Not to be confused with those flimsy ironing boards that slam back into the wall, today's murphy beds use standard think mattresses and box springs. Better yet, they come in a variety of sizes including ones that wouldn't find in your average sleep retailer and range in style from basic to the most luxurious.

Tailored Living organization specialists can incorporate a murphy bed design into any space in your home.  They’re the perfect solution for multipurpose living areas, home offices, and loft layouts.

How to Accommodate More Guests without Sacrificing Space with a Murphy Bed

The holiday season is quickly approaching and at this time of year, most often relatives will visit from all over. It is a time of jovial events, delicious food, great company, and long nights. This year when the relatives come to stay at your house, put them up in style with the comfort and ease of a Murphy bed.

If you have never heard of a Murphy bed before, they are quite easy to explain. It is a normal sized bed, usually a full, and it can fold up into a cabinet against the wall when it is not in use. Naturally a bed that folds out of the way can be placed in a number of different rooms or situations to create a sleeping space without taking up all of the area that a normal bed, or even a futon, would cover. Murphy beds were created to save space in small areas, which makes them perfect for installing into your home office or spare room. Tailored Living home organization experts can help you redesign your home office to naturally incorporate a Murphy bed. The entire room can be built using the colors and wood selections of your choosing and to your specifications. The actual wall bed will be masterfully incorporated into the office cabinetry and will look like a seamless cabinet when folded away.

A Murphy bed is the perfect addition to add to your home before relatives start coming over for Thanksgiving and Christmas. With an extra bed in your home you can accommodate more family members on the holidays, you can invite more friends during the year to come stay comfortably at your house instead of a hotel, and your children and their friends will have the perfect room for sleepovers and slumber parties! If you live in a smaller space such as a loft, or you have a spare room in a larger house, you should consider implementing the use of a Murphy wall bed. Tailored Living home organization specialists can come to your home and help you assess your current situation and work with you to find organizational solutions like Murphy beds to fit all of your storage and organization needs.
