MURPHY'S BACK IN TOWN

Do it Yourself: Double Murphy Bed, this Baltic birch bunk tucks into a 12-inch-deep wall for an easy hidden addition to your home. $4,500

The open-plan space is outfitted with a custom Murphy bed designed by Janiszewska. “Having seen many ready-made Murphy beds," she says, "I thought the wall just looked ugly when they were folded. I tried to break that scheme.”

Wall beds can be oriented either vertically or horizontally. This home office doubles as a guest room thanks to a vertical Murphy bed that folds down to reveal shelves stocked with magazines.

Madrid-based firm PKMN dreamed up this flexible concept for a client with a tiny home north of the city. Made up of three shelving units on track system, the All I Own House can be configured in countless ways, making space for a bedroom, kitchen, sitting area, changing room, and more. Shown here is a horizontal Murphy bed, which makes a great space-saving solution as well as a comfortable sleeping space.

Pure and simple storage catch all, including Z's.
