Murphy bed plans are great for those with smaller living spaces. They are ideal for small apartments and condos and also for extra bedrooms that you would like to use as office areas or storage spaces. Building your own murphy bed will save you a lot of money and you can also customize your bed to your taste and style.

Space costs top dollar these days and with so many people living in the city these days, the idea of having more space is often just a thought, never a reality. If you want to make the most of a small living area, you could easily clear more area in your apartment. A bed that folds away in the morning means that you can use an area that was once a living and sleeping area into one that can accommodate more people when you bed it packed away.

It is also a great idea for when you have unexpected guests to have a fold down bed to offer them.

The other great advantage of a Murphy bed is that the wall unit that houses your bed can be made to be a feature of the room. The additional storage is always useful and can, with good design, include such items as a television or sound system.

Building your own Murphy bed also means that you can customize it without spending all that money and although more complicated to build than a stand alone bed, it is worth the money in the space that you regain.
