What is a Murphy bed?

A Murphy bed is a wall bed that folds up when not in use, helping save floor space in guest rooms, home offices, condos, studios, basements, and multi use rooms.

Do you offer custom Murphy beds?

Yes. Island Murphy Beds offers custom Murphy beds with different sizes, collections, finishes, storage cabinets, lighting, and mattress options.

Do Murphy beds work for small rooms?

Yes. Murphy beds and wall beds are designed for small spaces because they fold away and keep the room open during the day.

Custom Space saving wall bed in Victoria Bc

Room 01 Guest Room + Office

Guest Room + Office

Keep a real desk setup all week and open a proper queen bed when family visits.

Best for Remote workers, spare bedrooms, visiting family

Recommended setup Vertical queen with one side cabinet and desk return

Space goal Keep the desk usable and never fold it away

A vertical Murphy bed folds flat against the wall, so the desk, monitor and chair stay exactly where they are during the day. When guests arrive you clear about five feet of floor and the room becomes a full bedroom in under a minute.

Room 02 Condo Living

Condo Living

Reclaim thirty square feet of floor in a condo where every foot is paid for.

Best for Downtown Victoria and Langford condos, one-bedroom units, lofts

Recommended setup Horizontal queen for low ceilings, or vertical with slim side cabinets

Space goal Turn a bedroom into a living room during the day

In a condo, a permanent queen bed takes up roughly a third of the room. A horizontal Murphy bed projects only seventeen inches from the wall when closed and works under eight-foot ceilings, so the same room becomes a lounge, dining area or workspace between uses.

Room 03 Kids Room

Kids Room

Give kids real floor space for play, and a full bed at night.

Best for Shared bedrooms, small kids' rooms, playroom conversions

Recommended setup Single or double vertical bed with lower drawer storage

Space goal Maximise open floor for play and homework

Our counterbalanced lift mechanism is smooth enough for a child to operate with one hand, and every bed is anchored into wall studs by our installers. Add lower drawers for toys and a built-in LED reading light above the pillow.

Room 04 Home Gym

Home Gym

Train in the same room that sleeps guests, without a folding mattress.

Best for Spare rooms, garage conversions, basement flex spaces

Recommended setup Vertical queen with a flush door front and no crown

Space goal Clear the full floor for mats, weights and movement

A closed Murphy bed presents a flat cabinet face, so you get a clean wall for mirrors and rack clearance instead of a bed frame to work around. The bed stays made when it is folded up, so guest setup takes seconds.

Room 05 Rental Suite or Airbnb

Rental Suite or Airbnb

List a studio that photographs as a living room and sleeps like a bedroom.

Best for Basement suites, laneway units, short-term rentals

Recommended setup Queen vertical with both side cabinets for guest storage

Space goal Make a small suite feel like a full apartment in listing photos

Studio suites list better when the photos show a sofa and dining space rather than a bed filling the frame. Side cabinets give guests somewhere to put luggage, and solid construction handles turnover that a folding sofa bed will not.

Room 06 Den or Flex Room

Den or Flex Room

One room that reads as a library or den, and opens into a bedroom.

Best for Dens, studies, TV rooms, multi-generational homes

Recommended setup Empress or Douglas front with full-height bookcase cabinets

Space goal Look like built-in millwork, not like a bed

With a face-frame front and matching side bookcases, a closed Murphy bed reads as custom cabinetry. Most visitors will not know there is a bed in the wall until it opens.
