Unique Storage Ideas for Wall Bed Systems
Custom wall bed systems from Murphy Beds of San Diego do so much more than simply provide a bed that is folded up and out of the way until used. Particularly if you opt for a custom wall bed system, there are nearly limitless ways you can use it for storage of all your household items. Drawers, bins, closets, desks, racks, cubbies – we can add all these and more to either or both sides of a Murphy bed.
Here are a few ideas to spur your imagination.
Hobby Station
What do you enjoy doing in your spare time? Whether its stamp collecting, scrapbooking, sewing, journaling or some other way to pleasantly while away the hours, you can make it easier and neater with a space dedicated for your hobby.
Don’t have a spare room for this purpose? Not to worry. If it’s a guestroom, just add a Murphy bed and include side piers with storage drawers, cabinets and shelves to hold the accessories and tools you need for your hobby. Make one side a desk (or sewing table or drawing board…), perhaps add built-in lighting and electrical outlets and you’ve got a room ready for you to enjoy your hobby by day, and ready as sleeping quarters for guests at night.
Fashion Outlet
Are you passionate about all things haute couture? If you don’t have enough room in your bedroom closet for all your clothes, shoes, jewelry, purses, scarves, ties and other accessories, you are not alone. Luckily, your problem is one that is easily fixed.
Put a wall bed in your spare room and you’ll have all the space you need for an overnight guest plus a neat and tidy place to store clothing (this is a great place for off-season garb) and accessories not often used or too bulky for your bedroom storage space. We can design a wall bed system with closets, drawers, shoe racks, jewelry armoires and more.
Safe Room
Here’s a unique idea – do you have a safe room in your home? It could be a place to go during a natural disaster or in the case of an emergency. This has continued to be a popular option in American homes over the past several decades.
Usually, space in a safe room is very limited. That makes every inch count, and it makes this room the perfect candidate for a wall bed system. Not only will you have a comfortable place to sleep, you can incorporate lots of storage space for anything you need, whether that’s food, household items (batteries, paper goods, etc.), entertainment (books, puzzles and magazines) or other items that make your time in the shelter more relaxed. We can even include a dog or cat bed for your family pet.
Endless Possibilities
These are just a few out-of-the-box ideas for a wall bed system in your house or condo. We can create these and many more. The only limits are the dimensions and openings in your room – and your imagination. We invite you to make an appointment with our in-house designer today so that the two of you can open the possibilities in any room of your home.
