The wall bed, also known as a Murphy bed, has its historic origins in San Francisco circa 1900. The story goes that a man was romantically pursuing an opera singer, but social norms at the time frowned on a woman spending time in a man’s bedroom. What was his solution? Converting his bedroom into a spacious parlor by folding his bed into the wall. Next thing you know, the popularity of wall beds exploded as they become a convenient way to save space and ensure you get the most out of your room.

As homes got bigger and more people made the move to the suburbs, the wall bed began to fall out of fashion. Now, we’re seeing a major movement in maximizing the space of our homes, and the wall bed is leading the charge! Today, the wall bed is making a comeback all over the country.

Of course, it’s important to remember that these aren’t your parents’ wall beds. Today’s beds are a far cry from the pull-down mattresses of old. Here’s what you need to know about the big wall bed comeback and how you can reclaim more space in your home.

Save Space While Looking Great

One of the first things you’ll notice about today’s wall beds is how they combine excellent efficiency with fashionable functionality. Custom wall beds from Closets by Design are much more than space-saving solutions. These wall beds are stunning pieces that effortlessly transform any room of your home into the multi-functional space of your dreams.

Unlike fold-up beds of old, custom wall beds are built with all sorts of fantastic features. When you install a new custom wall bed from Closets by Design, you’ll find functional drawers and cubbies designed to improve the look, feel, and functionality of any living space.

If the words “custom closets” bring to mind images of opulent master bedrooms that spill gracefully into walk-in closets the size of your kitchen, you’re in for a pleasant surprise. The luxury of a storage system designed especially for you isn’t reserved for the wealthy or those fortunate enough to live in places where rolling acres of land are easily affordable. In fact, custom storage solutions are sometimes best used by homes with cozier, smaller spaces. Ready to discover the storage spaces you need to bring order to your home? Read on.

Finding the Hidden Spaces

Sometimes storage solutions are already right there in front of you, waiting to be discovered. Walk around your home with fresh eyes, and see if you can discover underutilized spaces. Some low, wide bins can transform the space under your bed into a storage solution for seasonal decorations or linens. Empty walls can house open-air shelves for decorations, books or even neatly organized dishes. The empty corner of your garage could be the perfect place to add a closet for sports equipment or gardening tools. Keep your eyes peeled; you never know what you might find!

Upgrading Existing Storage

In some homes, the solution isn’t to create new storage spaces, but to renovate existing ones. Take a good, hard look at the primary storage solution in every home: your closet. Talk to your designer at your in-home consultation about adding shelves, closet rods and organizers to make more efficient use of your closet space. Don’t forget the closet doors themselves! The addition of a few well-placed hooks could be the perfect place to hang accessories such as scarves, hats and bags.

Don’t stop at your bedroom closet — take a critical look at other common storage areas, such as your laundry room or garage. If your storage solution is a stack of plastic containers, it’s time for an overhaul! Installing a custom closet fitted to the space gives you even more storage space while making everything more easily accessible.

Many Rooms in One

“A place for everything, and everything in its place” is the motto of the organized home, but sometimes, you don’t have the luxury of dedicating entire rooms to your home office, guest room and so on. That’s where custom closet solutions come in. Putting your desk and a wall bed in the same room makes it easy to transform your professional home office into a comfortable guest room with only a moment’s work. Add a stylish hobby station, and you’ve created the equivalent of three rooms in one without sacrificing a clean design aesthetic.

If you’re not sure where to get started finding, renovating or creating storage spaces in your home, contact us. We’ll send a designer right to your home to help you envision the possibilities and develop a solution that’s right for you. Custom closets aren’t just for over-sized homes; in fact, some might say they’re the perfect solution for smaller spaces!

Quality does not have to be costly.

Since 1982, we’ve built a reputation of integrity as the industry leader in customer service and total customer satisfaction. Our commitment to quality, value and beauty makes Closets by Design the right choice for all your storage and organizational needs.

From our no obligation in-home consultation to installation (and everything in between!), our custom-tailored designs provide highest quality construction, giving you the best value available.

We Start and Complete Every Single Project

No step in the production of your system is ever out of our control. Every unit we sell is constructed in one of our own state-of-the art factories, regionally located to provide great local service.

  • We never outsource any portion of the project; all work is done by our specially trained employees, guaranteeing consistent quality.
  • Every unit is built as a fine piece of furniture, made to customer specifications, ensuring that the finished product will blend seamlessly with your home’s existing décor.
  • All materials, finishes and hardware are high quality and meant to last.
  • No middleman to increase costs.

 

You Always Deal Directly with Closets by Design

We take seriously the responsibility of being in your home, and everyone you deal with is a bonded, licensed and insured company employee of Closets by Design. This means that at every step of the process you can be assured of our commitment to excellence with your project.

  • Our designers take the time to get to know you intimately, by listening carefully to your dreams, needs and preferences.
  • Designs are custom-tailored to your wants and needs, with all materials, finishes, hardware, accessories and additional touches included in the written estimate.
  • Detailed measurements are confirmed and final designs are approved with your designer before any construction begins.
  • All installation is done by our own experienced installers.

 

Floor Based Construction for Permanent Stability

Closets by Design offers three floor based closet storage systems: Everyday, Classic and Regency. Each system has multiple custom options and features that can be added to the basic design so you get exactly what you want in order to maximize function, style and flexibility.

Floor based design allows for full-size doors, deeper panels and larger drawers than are available with wall mounted units. With the weight resting on the floor, you get greater stability than with a wall mounted system for closet interiors.

A floor based system also creates a more beautiful, built-in look with matching backing and crown and base moldings. It’s customized storage furniture you will love for years to come.

If you need new closets or other storage systems and are thinking about doing it yourself (DIY), you might want to reconsider:

  • Most DIY systems have very limited warranties, dependent upon “proper” installation. (If you install it incorrectly, warranty could become null and void.)
  • Our installations generally take only one day, unless it’s a very large or complex project. Chances are a handyman, your husband or you won’t get perfection in a one-day installation.
  • Many DIY systems are wall mounted, with a much shorter lifespan than our floor based systems.

We are always ready to help you get organized! Call 1-888-500-9215 or a location near you or go online to www.closetsbydesign.com to see our virtual showrooms and to find a designer near you.
