Can a Horizontal Murphy Bed Match Your Room’s Wood, Color, and Style?

Can a Horizontal Murphy Bed Match Your Room’s Wood, Color, and Style?

A horizontal Murphy bed can blend into a room when its design matches the furniture around it. Its wide, low shape works well in rooms with limited ceiling height or less floor depth. Customers can choose the wood, color, finish, face style, and selected features to create a bed that feels like part of the room.

Choose Wood and Color That Fit Your Room

The wood and color set the tone for the whole design. A warm wood finish can suit a relaxed room, while a clean panel style can fit a modern space.

Customers can discuss choices such as:

  • Wood type and finish
  • Color and hardware
  • Face style
  • Lighting and storage details

The final choice should match nearby furniture, flooring, wall color, and other room details.

Select a Face Style With the Right Look

A horizontal Murphy queen bed can be designed with different face styles. Options include Templeton, Manhattan, Bella, Barn Door, Hudson Bay, Craftsman, and New Yorker. Each style creates a different feel. Barn Door designs can add a warm, relaxed look.

Manhattan and Craftsman styles can suit rooms with clean furniture lines. A Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired design can bring more detail to the room. The exact style depends on the chosen model and its available features.

Plan the Design Around the Room

Style is not only about color. The bed’s size and position also affect how the room feels. A spring horizontal Queen model is 70¾ inches high and 86½ inches wide. Its open projection is 70 inches. The piston version is 68 5/16 inches high and opens 66 inches into the room.

Before choosing a design, customers should check:

  • Wall width
  • Ceiling height
  • Walking space
  • Door and window locations
  • Nearby furniture
  • Final open footprint

Crown molding and bookcases can add extra width or depth, so the finished size should be reviewed.

Add Features That Support the Room’s Style

A custom horizontal Murphy bed can include selected features such as bookcases, lighting, storage, desks, or entertainment space. A wide entertainment design can include a TV face, sound bar space, glass shelves, charging stations, or bookcase lighting.

These features should support the room instead of making the furniture look crowded. Not every feature fits every model, so customers should confirm the exact combination before production.

Review the Custom Design Before Production

A horizontal Murphy queen bed should be reviewed through drawings before building begins. The drawing packet includes a scale rendering, dimensions, and design details. Customers can check the face style, molding, cabinet layout, storage, lighting, and overall fit. This review creates a clear plan and reduces surprises during production.
