Why A Murphy Bed is the BEST DIY Furniture Project of 2024
If you're looking for a fun, functional, and beautiful piece of furniture to build for your home, you've found your place. Building a murphy bed cabinet using a Hideaway Murphy Bed kit is not only a straightforward process designed for those without a ton of DIY experience - it’s also a project that will leave you with a beautiful piece of DIY furniture once you're complete.
Here are just a few reasons why we think its the best DIY furniture project of 2024:
1. A Murphy Bed is the Ultimate Space Saver for Small Apartments or Tiny Homes
Do you:
- Live in a studio apartment or tiny home?
- Host more guests than you are able to sleep comfortably?
- Have a small bedroom that you'd like to be able to move more freely in?
Remember how BIG those rooms felt before you moved in and dropped your queen size bed & mattress right in the middle of them? That is how it'll feel again once you are able to fold up the bed frame against the wall.
Your living room can become a guest room in just a few seconds and then revert back to a living room again. A murphy bed is the KING of space saving furniture.
2. Hideaway's Murphy Bed Hardware Kits are easy to use and come with extremely detailed instructions
Even if you have very little DIY experience, the instructions that are included with the DIY murphy bed kit make this bed easy to build.
The kit includes:
You're also able to build the bed in Queen, Full, or Twin size and mount it either vertically against the wall or horizontally. There is a reason Hideaway is the best kit on the market.
3. You'll Have So Much Room for Activities!
Step Brothers Dale & Brennan were on to something when they tried converting their bedroom into a multifunctional space with room for activities!
You'll be able to customize your bed cabinet however you like for your personal space. If you want to add sleeping space to your office, maybe you'll make a murphy bed with an attached bookshelf? If its going in your living room for guests to sleep on when they stay over, maybe you can match your cabinetry.
Either way - getting more out of your space in a seamless way is what having a murphy bed is all about.
4. You Can Bring It With You If You Move
Yes, you'll wall mount a murphy bed to studs, but if you are moving you can bring it with you! Just disassemble the cabinet top from the cabinet sides and detach the bed frame hardware pins. This whole process shouldn't take more than 15 minutes.
Once you get to your new home, it is easy to put together again.
5. They're a Fraction of the Price of a Prebuilt Wall Bed and Currently on Sale!
Buying a prebuild murphy bed frame will cost you thousands - and installation can be a pain. With just a little bit of woodworking experience, some plywood from your local hardware store, and a long weekend's worth of work, you'll be able to build your own for a fraction of the cost.
Building a murphy bed is a fun project for DIYers with minimal wood working experience. Not only is it simple to follow the step by step instructions, you'll end up with a highly functional and beautiful piece of DIY furniture your friends and guests will be impressed by.
