How to Order a Wall Bed: A Comprehensive Guide 2024
In today’s fast-paced world, optimising your living space has become more crucial than ever. Whether you’re living in a cozy studio apartment, looking to design a multipurpose guest room, or simply aiming to declutter and streamline your space, a wall bed, commonly known as a Murphy bed, can be a game-changer. But how do you go about ordering one? This comprehensive guide will walk you through the process, ensuring that you choose the perfect wall bed to meet your needs and preferences.
1. Assess Your Space and Needs
Before diving into the vast sea of wall bed options, take a moment to assess your space and what you need from a wall bed. Consider the size of the room, where you plan to install the bed, and how it will be used. Are you looking for a bed that doubles as a desk or library during the day? Do you need additional storage solutions integrated into the bed’s design? Understanding your requirements will help narrow down your options and ensure you select a bed that fits seamlessly into your life.
2. Choose the Right Size
Wall beds come in various sizes, from single to king. Measure your space carefully to determine the maximum bed size it can accommodate. Remember to consider not only the wall space but also the floor area the bed will occupy when it’s down. Leave enough clearance around the bed to move comfortably, keeping in mind any other furniture in the room.
3. Select a Style That Complements Your Decor
One of the great advantages of modern wall beds is the range of styles available. From minimalist designs that emphasize functionality to elaborate units that include shelving, desks, libraries and cabinets. Choose a style that complements your existing decor or serves as an exciting focal point for a room makeover.
4. Consider the Mechanism Type
Wall beds typically use either a spring mechanism or a piston mechanism to help lift and lower the bed. Springs can be adjusted to change the tension and last a lifetime, while pistons provide a smoother operation they may need future maintenance. We provide a spring mechanism so there are no future issues.
