Custom Murphy Bed Pricing in Austin, TX
At Madewell Woodworks, we believe your furniture should be built to last a lifetime. Every Murphy bed we create is handcrafted in Austin from real furniture-grade plywood rather than the cheap particle board found in mass-produced alternatives. Because each project is custom-tailored to the specific dimensions of your home and your unique design goals, the final pricing depends on the scope of the project. Factors such as your choice of wood species, the specific finish, and the addition of integrated cabinetry or desk options will determine the total investment for your space.
Vertical Murphy Beds
Vertical Murphy beds are the traditional choice for homeowners looking to maximize floor space without sacrificing the classic look of a bedroom. These designs fold down from the head of the mattress toward the center of the room, making them ideal for spaces with standard or high ceilings. Our vertical builds offer the most flexibility for adding tall side cabinetry or wardrobe towers to create a complete wall-to-wall built-in appearance. Because they utilize the full height of your wall, they are perfect for primary guest rooms where a traditional sleeping arrangement is the priority.
Horizontal Murphy Beds
Horizontal Murphy beds are the ideal problem solvers for rooms with unique architectural constraints or lower clearance. By mounting the long side of the mattress parallel to the floor, these beds require significantly less ceiling height and are perfect for spaces with low windows, slanted ceilings, or wall-mounted mini-split HVAC units. When closed, the lower profile of a horizontal cabinet reads more like a dresser or a custom credenza, making it a favorite for home offices and multipurpose rooms.
What Influences the Final Cost?
- Wood Species & Finish: The choice of material significantly impacts the aesthetic and price. Paint-grade options provide a smooth, modern look, while stained hardwoods highlight the natural grain and character of the wood for a more traditional or high-end furniture feel.
- Cabinetry Add-ons: You can expand the functionality of your bed by adding custom side storage towers, wardrobes for hanging clothes, or integrated desk surfaces. These additions transform a single bed into a complete, multi-functional wall unit.
- Integrated Workspaces: For horizontal and vertical designs, you can include a stay-level desk that spans the full width of the cabinet, providing a spacious and ergonomic workspace that remains usable even when the bed is lowered.
- Professional Installation: Unlike “flat-pack” furniture that requires hours of frustrating assembly, every Madewell Woodworks project includes professional local installation in the Austin area. This ensures the heavy lifting mechanisms are safely and securely mounted to your wall.
- Material Integrity: Every bed is built using real furniture-grade plywood rather than the particle board found in many retail alternatives. This choice of material ensures your investment is durable, safe, and built to last for decades.
