Murphy Beds for Small Spaces: The Ultimate Space Saver
When it comes to small rooms, nothing beats a Murphy bed. These wall beds fold vertically, freeing up your entire floor space during the day. Amish-made Murphy beds are available in classic wood finishes with optional storage towers, desks, or hidden sofa options. Perfect for guest rooms, studio apartments, or multi-use spaces.
In case a traditional Murphy bed might be too towering or intimidating for your small room, we have an alternative. Our innovative Cube Murphy Bed is the pinnacle of beds for small spaces. See how it works in the video below.
Best for: Multi-functional rooms, guest rooms, and studio apartments
Storage Beds for Small Spaces: Drawers Where You Need Them
Why take up space with a separate dresser when your bed can do double duty? Amish storage beds feature built-in drawers underneath the mattress frame. Choose from designs with drawers on one or both sides, or even at the footboard. They offer seamless organization in tight quarters.
Get a stylishly minimalist bed frame that also serves as your dresser. All you need is this bed. Take it a step further and add a bookcase headboard (which you’ll read about later).
Best for: Bedrooms with limited closet or dresser space
Platform Beds for Small Spaces: Low Profile, High Style
Platform beds have a simple, clean look and eliminate the need for a bulky box spring. Their lower height makes a room feel more open, and many Amish platform beds can be paired with storage options, giving you more use out of every inch.
