Many of the city's older neighborhoods, from North Park's Dryden Historic District along 28th and Pershing to the 174 homes of the Mission Hills Historic District, were built in the early twentieth century with modest rooms. In a room that size, a full-time guest bed takes over. A Murphy bed folds into a cabinet when nobody is sleeping in it:
- A guest room becomes a daily office, with shelving or a desk designed alongside the bed
- A small second bedroom keeps its floor space for workouts or play
- The cabinet is built in our own factory in the same finishes as your closets, so it reads as built-in furniture
If family visits often, a wall bed gives them a real bed without giving up the room the rest of the year. For condos near the coast, where square footage is precious, it can be the difference between a one-purpose room and a flexible one.
