Homeowners and apartment dwellers alike have a need for
functional living space that is attractive and economical. As
housing becomes more expensive, and more people choose to
telecommute, choices have to be made to use the space available
in an efficient, flexible manner. One solution for this problem
is a Murphy bed library.
The Murphy bed library unit is an elegant piece of furniture
that allows multiple uses of a room. An apartment dweller can
sleep, exercise, entertain, and work in the same small space,
while her books, entertainment system, computer, and bed share
the same wall. .
With the bed in its closed position, the unit looks like an
entertainment center or library shelving. These units can be
made of any modern material used for fine furniture, and can be
found in any furniture style, from traditional to avant garde.
The unit is a piece of quality furniture, while the bed and
mechanism are strong and long-lasting. The Murphy bed library is
an investment that puts a premium on comfort and elegant
efficiency.
When the bed is needed, units differ. Some units have sliding
shelf units that move on tracks to expose the bed, which then
drops down. Others have cabinet doors that open to expose the
bed. Some clever designers have hidden the drop-down bed behind
a fake wall decorated with a permanently-attached, framed
painting. The wall drops with the bed, becoming part of the
support for the mattress.
The Murphy bed library unit is also useful for homeowners who
need to turn that spare bedroom into a study or work space most
of the time, and a guest area some of the time. The room is
furnished as an office, but the guest bed is always available
for that unexpected guest.
A third use for this furniture is as a wall-unit in an actual
executive office. Bookshelves and cabinets are available for
attractive display and storage, but the bed is available if the
tired executive is working late and can’t make it home.
