Cool murphy beds that maximize small spaces

Cool Murphy Beds

If you’ve been shopping for Murphy beds for your room, you probably know how expensive they are. Building one yourself can significantly reduce the cost, especially if you use some reclaimed materials.

As a bonus, DIYing a Murphy bed lets you completely customize it so that it is a true and one-of-a-kind Murphy!

Sure Murphy beds are space-saving! But why stop at a single function when, with a little design inspiration, they can be multi-functional? For example, your Murphy bed can double as a sofa, a display shelf, computer table, full-length mirror, bookshelf or just a great piece of pop art when not in use as a bed.

In this article, we hope you find the Murphy bed design that suits your needs and that you’re inspired to build it.
