One of the neatest accomplishments of mine recently was building a Murphy bed – a wall  bed. Do you want to know what was so great about it? Well, because of the Murphy bed hardware kit, I was able to create a custom bed, and get the most from my work and living space. This really got me thinking, so I have come up with other cool ideas on how a homemade Murphy bed can compliment your space.

The first notion applies to the working profession who commutes to the city from the suburbs. Professionals such as doctors, lawyers and executives, many times need to be on-call, so a fold away bed could be just the perfect idea for them. Think about how it is when you need to work very late into the night, however, you need to be at work bright and early the next morning. An alternative to driving home, tired and exhausted, and risk falling asleep, is pulling out the hide-away, and in seconds, falling fast asleep. With the cabinets in the office as a back drop, nobody would even suspect that the office is doubling as a hotel room.

Efficiency apartments come next. You are familiar with them, right? They usually have one room, with the bathroom and kitchen attached. Lots of studio apartment dwellers choose to have only a bed, or maybe a loft style bed that provides a bit more space. Thy Murphy bed, on the other hand is built in such a way that can incorporate a couch into the design and when you put it away, the room still appears like a living room. This is not only a cool way that maximizes space, but it can also keep your that new girlfriend guessing just how big of a place you really have.

I hope these ideas gave you some insight of just how much versatility a Murphy bed hardware kit is at designing your room. It will not only save you money, but you will also get the option to customize it to your heart is content. You will be surprised at what a cool addition this will be to your living area.
