Posted on March 16, 2012 by Alyssa

Have a murphy bed to keep overnight guests comfortable
A wallbed or “Murphy Bed” is a great addition to any home, no matter what kind of needs you might have. Add personality and function to a room with a wallbed that incorporates style. Use the following tips to find the perfect Murphy Bed to meet all of your needs:

Do It Yourself
One of the best ways to personalize a wallbed is to start with a completely blank canvas. With a U Do It Murphy Bed, you have an unfinished piece of furniture that is waiting for you to add on to it. Choose a paint color and decorative additions that complement your current interior design. If you do not want to make all of the decisions about the style of the Murphy Bed, you can choose from a great selection of finished models. Whatever you decide, a wallbed will make your room look complete.

Add Some Accents
Since a hidden bed leaves so much available space in the room, you can get creative with accent pieces to add your personality to the finished product. A few cabinets on either side of the disappearing bed offer a balanced look and ample storage space. A desk bed lets you have a completely multifunctional room. By adding accents, you can cater your room to any and all of your needs.

Choose the Perfect Mattress
Whether you plan to use the bed yourself or keep it ready for overnight visitors, you want to equip it with a really great mattress. Choose between soft, firm, and foam options to find a mattress that makes your hidden bed the most comfortable place to sleep in the home.

With twelve showrooms, Wallbeds “n” More gives you easy access to some of the best Murphy Beds that you can find. Come in today to start personalizing a wallbed for your home. To learn more about our showrooms, please call (888) 589-3084.

History of the Murphy Wallbed

Posted on March 9, 2012 by Alyssa

Use a Murphy Wallbed in any room
Today, the Murphy bed adds style and function to a space. However, disappearing beds have come a long way since they were created. Keep reading to learn the history of the Murphy wallbed and how it has evolved into one of your favorite pieces of furniture:

William L. Murphy
Like many hidden bed owners, William L. Murphy was a man without enough space to meet his entertaining needs. He knew he wanted to create a bed that could fold into the wall, and so, he started a long process of trial and error to make his vision a reality. In 1918, Murphy made a breakthrough with his folding bed experiments. Using the doorjamb of a closet, he made a special pivot that could raise and lower a bed to provide more space in a room.

Ups and Downs
Hidden beds were a huge success until World War II, when essential parts were rationed to help with the war effort. After the veterans started to return home, they moved into single-family homes and did not need space-saving items like a wallbed. While the economy was up, the need for Murphy beds was down.

Comeback
In the 1970’s, the economy was not as impressive as it once was and homeowners had to downsize many aspects of their lives. The Murphy bed once again became a popular and functional piece of furniture that helped maximize space in smaller homes. Today, Murphy beds can be found in decorative colors with great accent pieces. A desk bed, for example, is an attractive piece of furniture that gives you the ability to use a room for more than one purpose.

Come to Wallbeds “n” More to see the amazing advancements in wallbed technology. The dedicated staff in our twelve showrooms is happy to help you find the perfect Murphy bed. Visit us online or call (888) 589-3084 to learn more.

Wallbeds “n” More & IKEA Help People Downsize their Homes with Space Saving Furniture

Posted on February 27, 2012 by Alyssa

If you’ve visited an IKEA lately, you’ll have noticed how efficiently their showrooms displays use space. For example, one display shows how 6 people could live in a 215 square foot of space! Small living spaces is nothing new in Europe and other countries, but downsizing is a relatively recent trend in America.

The recent economic downturn has encouraged Americans to start living more efficiently. A few years ago, we were buying bigger and bigger houses. Now, we’re downsizing our homes and using our living space more efficiently to save money.

Wallbeds “n” More, like IKEA, is interested in space-saving furniture. Our Murphy Wallbeds are comfortable beds at night and fold up out of the way during the day, allowing you more precious floor space. Furthermore, our beds are both stylish and sturdy. Our wallbeds are made to look like attractive cabinets and can be stained to match the decor of your home. We use only furniture-grade plywood (seven layers of solid wood laid in a cross-grain pattern) and our mechanisms come with a lifetime warranty.

AS IKEA says, “Smart storing can easily double space.”

Book an appointment with your local Wallbeds n More showroom to see how these space saving Murphy Beds can help you maximize your space!

Combine a Home Office and a Bedroom? 3 Reasons the Hidden Bed is Great

Posted on February 16, 2012 by Alyssa

Are you looking to purchase your next bedroom set? Rather than furnishing a home office and your bedroom, consider a hidden bed and desk unit.
hidden bed and desk
Here’s why:

1. Works in Any Room

At Wallbeds “n” More, you have the option of a twin, full, or queen size hidden bed and desk unit. These various sizes allow you to customize your hidden bed and desk for each member of your family. If your child needs a desk to work on homework, a twin disappearing bed is ideal for him or her. You can also turn your guest bedroom into a home office by purchasing the full or queen hidden bed and desk unit.

2. Allows You to Work from Home

If your space at home is limited, you don’t want to take up an entire room with a home office. Instead, quickly turn any bedroom into your office space with one of our hidden bed and desk units. This way, you can conveniently work at home as needed. If your children need additional space for homework or to work on a project, simply turn their bed into a sturdy desk for their studies.

3. Maximizes Your Space

Whether you have a full house of family members or you’re moving into your first apartment, you can always use more space. Investing in a Murphy bed with an accompanying desk unit allows you to maximize the space of your home. If you’re living in a one-bedroom home, a hidden bed and desk unit is ideal for sleeping at night and creating a more professional atmosphere during the day. The hidden bed and desk unit also saves you money, because you only need to purchase one piece of affordable furniture instead of two!

If you’re still unsure if a hidden bed is right for your home, visit Wallbeds “n” More, where you can lie down on one of our disappearing beds and view our full collection. Plan your in-store visit by calling us today at (888) 589-3084.
