To hide a wall bed , you can choose to integrate it into a piece of furniture (wardrobe, desk, etc.). The piece of furniture itself then conceals the box spring and mattress. You can also hide a bed in a bedroom or studio thanks to the wall bed system that stores in the ceiling.
1. Furniture as camouflage for the Murphy bed
Murphy beds offered by furniture and bedding companies are very often sold with the furniture that houses the bed frame. But this is not always enough to make the folding bed sufficiently discreet , especially when a large wardrobe fits poorly in the bedroom or another room.
To hide your Murphy bed , it is therefore advisable (if space allows) to choose a model included in a wall composition . This is a large piece of furniture composed not only of storage for the bed, but also of a bookcase, a desk, a sofa, a column of shelves in a corner, an additional wardrobe, etc.
Also consider adding a decorative touch to this composition. This will allow the eye to focus on the books, storage, and other decorative objects rather than on the part of the wall intended to house the wall bed.
2. Make a bed model that goes up to the ceiling more discreet
If you have chosen the version of the Murphy bed to be stored in the ceiling for optimal space saving in the room , a few tips can help you hide it better.
The most effective solution is of course to choose a bed that will sink completely into the ceiling . But when this is not possible, you must make sure to make the underside of the bed almost invisible . You will then have to be careful about the design, both in terms of shape and colors (most often white or wood stain).
Adding spotlights is also a good idea, making the bed appear to be a false ceiling.
