About This Project

This horizontal Murphy bed in deep green brings a bold, design-forward statement to a bright Austin room in the Mueller area, with warm wood floors and a clean white palette.

 

The Queen-size horizontal orientation was the right choice for this space, allowing the bed to tuck away behind Shaker-style panel doors without requiring the ceiling height that a vertical build demands. The deep green finish adds rich character, while the open nightstand niches built into each side cabinet keep the design functional and bedside essentials within easy reach.

 

A mini-split mounted above the unit confirms this room was purpose-built for comfort, and the Shaker detailing ties the cabinetry into a cohesive, furniture-grade aesthetic that feels far removed from a standard off-the-shelf Murphy bed solution. If your ceiling runs below 84 inches, a horizontal configuration like this is almost always the right answer, so check our ceiling clearance calculator to confirm your options.
