Add A Guestroom... Without A Contractor!
“The Murphy Bed is a great example of the old saying the more things change, the more they stay the same.” Joe Golde, Owner of Golde’s Futon Warehouse. The Murphy Bed is an American invention brought on by the San Francisco earthquake of 1906. Because of the amount of devastation, there were fewer places to live and sleep while the rebuilding of the city took place. The bed was created to take full advantage of the limited space they had at the time.
“In today’s market place, it continues to do the same thing it was originally designed to do…save room and give homeowners
more options in their living spaces. For anyone who has a multi-purpose room, there is nothing more useful than having the ability to fold the bed up into the wall and have the full room to use for other activities,” says Golde.
“Day beds, roll out couches and other options for having guestrooms double as an office or crafts room leave a great deal to be desired,” Golde explained.“The sleeping arrangements are sub par for any visitor you have and the room is limited for other activity.This situation is easily fixed with the appropriate Murphy Bed.”
As with many things, technology has improved the product. The modern Murphy bed does not have to be built into the frame of the house.The new designs can be installed onto a wall quickly without disturbing your carpets or wall structure. Because of the relatively simple assembly and installation, Murphy beds can also be relocated when you eventually move or redecorate. Of course there are a variety of finishes and designs to fit just about any decorating theme someone may have in their home. And, the mattresses are extremely comfortable for sleeping.
The significant thing a Murphy bed gives any homeowner is expanding the living area in your home, a comfortable guest room, and more utility in the rooms in which it is installed.
“This is a perfect product for Condo owners and people with smaller homes. I will always enjoy showing homeowners ways we can change how they use their home,” added Golde.
