Wall Beds: Once a Thing of the Past

Wall beds were once a thing of the past, created in the early 1900’s, they are now making a very popular comeback. The wall bed was invented by William Lawrence Murphy whom resided in San Francisco, California, a city that, at the time, was just as jam-packed and vibrant as we know it today. Murphy beds were than created and used in small homes, apartments, hotels, dormitories, as well as many other areas in need of effective space utilization.

These days, as families are getting larger and houses are getting smaller the economical approach, rather than moving, is to enhance your home with a wall bed. Wall beds can also be used by empty nesters that have their children or grandchildren come to visit, but don’t need a bed taking up all that extra space when their guests leave.

Beginning in the 1970’s, recession after recession began plaguing countries and people worldwide. As recessions continue to affect us it has in turn made many people make the decision to remain where they are rather than moving out when space gets a little tight.
