With smaller homes or rooms that must serve a dual purpose, a bed that folds into the wall is a practical and attractive solution. As amateur decorators, we tend to look at a small room and immediately think, “Nothing will fit in this space.” With all the double and triple-purpose furniture available today, small room solutions are abundant.

Ways to Assess What Furnishings Will Fit into a Small Room
- If you have one large wall, measure the space’s height, width, and depth. Check the distance from the wall to where a door or closet lands.
- Use the measurements from the Murphy bed (which folds up into the wall) against those measurements.
- It will work if the bed is unfolded and not blocking a door or a closet.
- Don’t block doors or windows with unfolded beds; that will block exits in an emergency!
- Determine how much width you have to work with, and depending upon your budget, you’ll see several Murphy beds that come with complete built-ins ranging from desks, bookshelves, and drawers to simple storage. Or you can get one that has only a bed.
- If the room doubles as an office or guest space, ensure you can secure your business affairs before converting the room to a guest space.
- Notice the kid’s Murphy beds below; they’re ideal for a baby nursery! They fold up into the wall and look like lovely pieces of furniture when not being used. They also serve as a sleeping space for mom or dad when they need to sleep in the room with the baby. Best of all, it’s a bed baby can grow into!
- Studio apartments are ideal for beds that fold up into the wall! One large room that serves as a living and sleeping space needs a clear definition. Getting things done when a bed is staring at you is challenging! Folding up the bed and converting the space into a working, living office area solves that problem.
- Depending upon your budget, you can go with a piece that is elaborate and solves multiple storage issues or just the ones that fold up against the wall (generally, they’re much cheaper)
