The bed leaves the floorSourced
A hinged bed can give its space back to the room
A Murphy bed folds upright against a wall or into a cabinet when not in use. Folding bedsteads existed before William Murphy’s designs. Storing the bed allows the same floor area to serve another purpose at a different time.
The room’s function can change when the bed is put away.
