Murphy Furniture: Smart, Stylish Solutions for Midlothian Homes
When most people hear the word “Murphy,” they immediately think of the classic Murphy bed — a bed that folds up into the wall to save space. But today’s Murphy furniture goes far beyond just beds. From bookshelves that swing open into hidden rooms to fold-out desks and dining tables, Murphy-style pieces are making a huge comeback in home design.
At Next Level Contracting, we’re seeing more Midlothian homeowners request these clever additions — and we just wrapped up a project that features both a Murphy door and a Murphy bed. Here’s why Murphy furniture might be the perfect upgrade for your home.
What Is Murphy Furniture?
Murphy furniture is all about multi-purpose living. These pieces transform or hide away when not in use, helping you maximize space while keeping your home stylish. Popular examples include:
Murphy Beds: Fold-down beds perfect for guest rooms or small spaces.
Murphy Doors: Bookcases, cabinets, or panels that open to reveal hidden rooms.
Murphy Desks: Wall-mounted desks that fold away when not in use — ideal for home offices.
Murphy Tables: Dining tables that collapse or fold out for flexible entertaining.
Why Homeowners Love Murphy Furniture
Space-Saving: Ideal for smaller homes, condos, or multipurpose rooms.
Style + Function: Modern Murphy furniture is sleek, customizable, and built to match your existing décor.
Flexibility: A home office can transform into a guest bedroom in seconds.
Wow Factor: Whether it’s a hidden room or a folding bed, Murphy furniture adds an element of surprise and delight.
Our Latest Project in Midlothian
In one of our renovations we just wrapped up, we combined the best of Murphy design:
A Murphy door disguised as a built-in bookshelf that leads to a private hidden room.
A Murphy bed that transforms a guest room into a fully functional recreation room when not in use.
It’s a perfect example of how these features can be both practical and playful. Check out the finished product here!
How Murphy Furniture Adds Value
Beyond convenience, Murphy furniture can actually boost your home’s resale appeal. Buyers love unique features, especially when they make a home feel bigger and more versatile. Plus, these additions often make a lasting impression during showings.
Why Work With a Professional
While some Murphy furniture is available ready-made, custom-built options often look and function better. At Next Level Contracting, we design and install Murphy furniture with precision. Because we’re Licensed, Bonded, and Insured, you can count on safe, seamless installations that take your home to the Next Level.
Conclusion
Murphy furniture is no longer just a clever bed hidden in the wall — it’s an entire design movement that blends creativity, functionality, and style. Whether you dream of a secret room behind a bookshelf, a guest bed that disappears during the day, or a desk that folds neatly away, Murphy furniture makes the most of every square foot.
