Less space doesn’t mean fewer possibilities. In fact, limited square footage often forces us to be more creative—and more efficient. That’s where custom Murphy beds come in.
If you’re working with a small guest room, a multifunctional office, or a studio apartment that doubles as your everything-space, a Murphy bed might just be the smartest solution you haven’t considered yet.
Let’s get right to it—clean layout, clear info, no fluff.
What Is a Custom Murphy Bed?
A Murphy bed, or wall bed, is a space-saving unit that folds up into the wall or cabinetry when not in use. A custom version is tailored to your room’s dimensions, design preferences, and everyday needs.
Custom builds allow for:
- Integrated shelving or drawers
- Built-in lighting
- Matching cabinetry or finishes
- Vertical or horizontal fold depending on ceiling height and wall layout
The result? A sleeping space that disappears seamlessly—and a room that works harder for you, without looking like a compromise.
Why Go Custom?
Generic Murphy beds can be clunky or out of sync with your interior style. But with custom design, you’re getting:
- Precision fit (no awkward gaps or wasted corners)
- Style cohesion (you choose materials, colors, and finishes)
- Multi-use functionality (add a desk, bookshelf, or media cabinet)
That means your guest bedroom can be a workspace by day, a reading nook by evening, and a full-service sleeping area when needed—without sacrificing quality or aesthetics.
Who Benefits Most?
- Homeowners with limited square footage
- Remote workers creating dual-purpose offices
- Hosts who want guests to sleep comfortably—without committing to a full-time bed
- Anyone embracing a clean, clutter-free lifestyle
Murphy beds are one of the most effective tools in smart, minimalist design.
Pairing with Modern Home Decor
A Murphy bed should blend in—not scream “fold-down furniture.”
Consider pairing your unit with intentional design details:
- Slimline sconces or LED strips for soft lighting
- Built-in shelves styled with warm neutrals or textures
- Paneling or shaker fronts for a timeless look
- Artwork that hangs in front of the bed when closed

Final Word from Bryan Baeumler
Functionality and design should never compete—they should complement each other.
A custom Murphy bed is more than a convenience. It’s a smart, long-term investment that gives you freedom in how you live and use your space.
Because good design doesn’t mean doing more. It means doing better—with less.
