The Origins of the Murphy Bed
The quirky name 'Murphy bed' didn't emerge out of thin air. Its origins can be traced back to an innovative San Francisco man named William Lawrence Murphy. According to legends, in the late 1800s, Murphy lived in a one-room apartment where entertaining was considered improper for a gentleman in his bachelor quarters with a lady present. Driven by his desire to romance an opera singer, he endeavored to transform his sleeping quarters into a parlor. The outcome was the pivotal Murphy bed, a bed that could be stowed away in his closet when not in use. This ingenious invention not only granted Murphy the space he needed, but also gifted the world with a lasting solution for compact living.
The Evolution of Murphy Beds in Urban Living
In the early 20th century, with the advent of urbanization, space became a pricey commodity. Living areas in high-demand regions like New York shrank noticeably. The trend of 'efficiency apartments' came into being, and with it, the need for space-saving furniture grew. The Murphy bed, with its ability to disappear into walls or double up as a stylish shelf or desk, became a highly sought-after solution. The Murphy Wall Bed Company was subsequently established, patenting the pivot and counterbalanced designs for wall beds.
High-End Finishes and Real Wood Designs
As times and needs evolved, so did the Murphy bed design. By the mid-20th century, a range of high-end finishes started making their appearance, moving the bed far from its modest roots. Around this era, the real wood Murphy beds from Murphy Bedz Plus began garnering recognition for their quality and elegance. They not only answered the call for space efficiency but also catered to a growing demand for intricate craftsmanship and finesse in interior choices among affluent households.
