Dressing a Murphy bed is an opportunity to make this piece of furniture a unique piece in your interior. To do this, beautiful bedding , a few decorative objects and beautiful finishes on the structure of the furniture allow you to transform a basic cupboard bed into a cozy and designer bed.
Choosing bed linen suitable for a Murphy bed
Bed linens add a cozy touch to your bedroom with a mix of textures and colors. If you have a Murphy bed with a sofa, make sure the colors remain harmonious between your bed and sofa.
Even though the bed and sofa aren't visible at the same time due to the mechanism of the Murphy bed itself, your living space should have a certain coherence in terms of the colors present there. For a traditional Murphy bed that fits vertically in a wardrobe, choose light and natural colors for the bed linen such as:
- flax;
- ecru;
- beige;
- the pebble gray;
- etc.
Also consider choosing cushions in the same shades as your bed linen and the fabric of your sofa so that you can reuse these same cushions on your bed and on your sofa .
Installing fixed decorative elements on a Murphy bed
A Murphy bed that offers a custom-made desk space once the mattress is folded down can save a lot of space in a small bedroom, student room , or studio apartment. Freestanding decorative elements aren't the best solution for decorating your Murphy bed, due to the bed's ability to close vertically or horizontally.
There are, however, several decorating ideas that are suitable for fitting out your bedroom. To break up the visual appearance of a large wardrobe on a traditional Murphy bed, you can attach a large mirror to the box of this piece of furniture. You can also create DIY decor for a wall bed by creating a small dressing room or shelves with wooden planks around the box of the Murphy bed.
