Space is often at a premium, regardless of the size of your home. That is why it is so important to find solutions that are designed to optimize any available areas and ensure that they are as functional as possible. Rooms that are multi-purpose often wind up cluttered with furniture, and floor space can disappear all too quickly. For such rooms that double as a guest room for visitors, it is especially difficult to create a comfortable place to sleep while maintaining a place for a comfortable, useable space whether it be for an office, a den or a hobby or craft room. Sometimes you need a unique and creative solution that will allow you to maximize the amount of space you have no matter how large or small.

Summer has essentially arrived in earnest, and that means you might be welcoming more house guests. Maybe the kids will have friends sleeping over, or perhaps relatives from far and wide will stop in for an overnight visit or longer. This is a busy time of year that might call for extra sleeping arrangements. But how can you be a gracious host if you don't have a spare bedroom? The answer is simple: a custom Murphy bed. Murphy beds can live practically anywhere that you have space for a slim, tall cupboard. They are sleek furnishings that stay closed up and out of sight and when you need them, they lower easily to create a complete and comfortable bed.
