Murphy beds are a practical addition to any small space that needs to work double duty. When folded into the wall, they free up square footage to be used for other purposes, and when folded down, they offer a cozy place for guests to rest. This clever design feature is perfect for small-space dwellers who could use the extra room when the bed is not in use.

This flexible loft provides a spot for extra overnight guests, with a Murphy bed that cleverly blends in with the reeded walls that bring this second-floor space to the next level.

Now open, the Murphy bed adds autumnal pops of color to the space with orange and light-gray bedding, and brown, gray and moss-green pillows. This Murphy bed makes good use of the loft space in the HGTV Dream Home 2022.

This eclectic, jewel-toned home office space features built-ins, teal-painted shelving, chic yellow and gold armchairs, an art deco-inspired gold chandelier and bold pattern play throughout the space. What might not be obvious is that behind those beautiful paintings lies a Murphy bed waiting for guest use.
