Choosing the ideal Murphy style beds for your particular space involves careful consideration of everything from design, to functionality, to mattress firmness, and room dimensions. At Wallbeds n More, we offer a diverse selection of Murphy beds tailored to various needs and aesthetics. Use our guide below, browse our website, and explore showrooms in your local area to see all we have to offer no matter how large or small your space.
Assess Your Needs and Your Space
It’s a good idea to begin by evaluating the room where you plan to install the Murphy bed. You will need to measure the available floor and wall space to determine the appropriate bed size whether it be twin, full, or queen. Consider the room’s primary function and think about how the bed will integrate into the existing layout. For instance, if the space currently serves as a home office, a Murphy bed with an integrated desk or a wall bed with a bookcase might be ideal.
Explore Different Murphy Style Beds
Murphy beds come in various styles and each offers unique features such as storage solutions, trendy hardware, drawers, tables, and more.
- Traditional Wallbeds: These wall beds fold vertically into a cabinet against the wall, which maximizes floor space. The Ryland Wallbed for example, features a recessed panel face trimmed in solid wood. This offers a beautiful shaker style that blends well with existing cabinets. These traditional Murphy beds are the ones you commonly see in movies and TV shows and the whimsy of a bed folding from the wall is sure to impress.
- Horizontal Wallbeds: Ideal for rooms with lower ceilings or limited vertical space, horizontal wallbeds fold into a different position. The Barrington Horizontal Wallbed is one of our most popular horizontal wall beds because it is such a versatile option that comes in various sizes and finishes.
- Euro Murphy Beds: Known for their modern design, Euro Murphy beds often incorporate sleek lines and minimalist aesthetics. The Euro Deluxe Wallbed that we carry at many Wallbeds n More locations offers a contemporary look with clean design and maximum functionality.
- Cabinet Style Murphy Beds: These beds resemble a cabinet or dresser when closed and blend easily into the decor of practically any room. The Sonoma Wallbed is a perfect example that features a simple design that fits beautifully anywhere in your home.
Consider Additional Features to Simplify Your Life
You can also enhance the functionality of your Murphy bed by considering additional features. Many of our models come with other furniture built in or have the ability to be personalized with add-on piers including options such as:
- Desks: Some models include built-in desks, allowing the space to double as a home office. The Euro Desk Bed with Hutch provides a practical workspace without sacrificing sleeping arrangements.
- Tables: Beds like the Barrington Table Bed incorporate a fold-out table, perfect for dining or work.
- Sofas: Integrating a couch into the Murphy bed design offers additional seating when the bed is folded away. The Sofa Wallbed, for example, provides an extra comfortable seating area and is a great addition to any living space.
Choose Your Ideal Finish and Material
It’s important to select both a finish and material that complements your room’s decor in order to have everything blend together well. At Wallbeds n More, we offer a stunning variety of finishes, from classic wood tones to modern paints. For example, the Hampton Wallbed is made of Alder wood and comes in nine different finishes. You can choose your favorite finish and match it perfectly with your existing furniture.
