About This Project

This Scandinavian-inspired Murphy bed installation features a Queen-size vertical bed built from natural Baltic birch plywood, giving the system a warm, organic look that pairs beautifully with the home’s exposed beam ceiling and cork tile flooring. The clean, flat-panel Velar-style doors and matte black hardware lean into a minimalist Nordic aesthetic, keeping the design calm and uncluttered while still delivering serious storage through the flanking wardrobe towers and deep drawer banks on either side of the bed. Baltic birch was the right material choice here — its tight grain, consistent core, and natural finish eliminate the need for paint or stain while aging gracefully over time. Installed in Austin, TX, this build proves that a custom Murphy bed wall system can feel every bit as intentional and design-forward as any bespoke furniture piece in the home.
