This queen Craftsman Murphy bed in Chimney fills a Buda guest room that needed to pull double duty as a home office. The Chimney finish reads as a deep, sophisticated charcoal in person, dark enough to feel intentional against lighter walls without going full black. It gives the Craftsman-style cabinetry a grounded, serious quality that suits a workspace aesthetic while still feeling warm when the room shifts back to guest mode.
Upper cabinets run the full width of the system, providing closed storage for office supplies, linens, or anything else that needs to stay out of sight. Open shelving towers flank the bed face on both sides, offering display and storage space that works equally well for books and decor as it does for office equipment. Drawers at the base of each tower handle the smaller, everyday items that accumulate in a working room. Brass bar pulls tie the whole system together, adding just enough warmth to keep the dark finish from feeling cold.
With the bed stowed, this is a fully functional home office with wall-to-wall built-in storage. With the bed deployed, it becomes a proper guest room. The system makes both versions of the space feel complete rather than compromised.
