Wall beds, better known as Murphy beds, were patented by William Lawrence Murphy in the beginning of the 20th century. Murphy was hoping to transform his one room apartment with limited space into a room that could function as both a bedroom for himself, and as a parlor for his guests. Hence the creation of what is now known as the Murphy bed. Murphy beds have evolved over the years from the initial simple wall bed. Designers have embraced the basic concept and developed units…
