This queen vertical Murphy bed in Kennebunkport Green fills a full wall of a light-filled South Congress condo office with a floor-to-ceiling built-in that manages to feel both substantial and surprisingly airy thanks to the soft sage-green finish and generous open shelving throughout.
The Craftsman-style door detailing on the bed face and lower cabinet doors adds quiet structure without heaviness, and the matte black hardware throughout keeps the palette grounded and contemporary.
Tall open shelving towers flank the bed on both sides and continue upward past the bed face into open upper cubbies that run the full width of the wall, creating a continuous vertical composition that draws the eye up and makes the most of the room’s ceiling height. The full-width upper shelving run is a good alternative to closed upper cabinets in rooms where keeping the wall feeling light is a priority.
With a dedicated home office desk visible in the room, this installation shows how a custom Murphy bed wall system can anchor a productive workspace during the day while keeping a proper guest bedroom ready to go at a moment’s notice.
Every build starts with your room dimensions and a conversation about how the space needs to function. If this one is close to what you are picturing, that is a good place to start.
