Common features<\/h3>\n<p>Originally a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.organizedinteriors.com\/wall-beds\/\">wall bed<\/a> was just that \u2013 a bed inside a large box that pulled down for sleeping and pushed back up to make more space in the room.<\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s custom-made wall beds are designed for the rooms they will live in. From height and width, to finishes, cabinet style, lighting and storage solutions, wall beds can now be made to order.<\/p>\n<p>You can create a grand, 10 foot tall, book-filled library wall or a chic, modern, high gloss display wall with open shelves crisply lit by modern lighting.<\/p>\n<p>Open and closed storage can be incorporated to the sides or above the bed.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Hidden storage<\/h3>\n<p>When it\u2019s time to fold up your bed, what do you do with the pillows?<\/p>\n<p>Rather than moving them to the closet or to a different room every time you use the wall bed, consider turning your bed\u2019s headboard into a storage area where you can tuck the pillows in during the day.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.organizedinteriors.com\/wall-beds\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-891 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.organizedinteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/wall-bed-storage.jpg\" alt=\"Hidden wall bed storage for pillows and blankets.\" width=\"970\" height=\"636\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.organizedinteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/wall-bed-storage.jpg 970w, https:\/\/www.organizedinteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/wall-bed-storage-300x197.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.organizedinteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/wall-bed-storage-768x504.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 970px) 100vw, 970px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 970px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 970\/636;\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nAdd storage above the bed for extras like blankets and comforters.

Pullout nightstand<\/h3>\n<p>It wouldn\u2019t make sense to have a nightstand in the dining room or home office, but you can have a pullout nightstand that blends in with the rest of your cabinetry.<\/p>\n<h3>5.

With the push or full of your index finger you can\u00a0open or close a wall bed.<\/p>\n<p>The Murphy bed hardware in\u00a0Organized Interiors\u2019 wall beds\u00a0is\u00a0incredibly safe and easy to use.
