Vertical Full Murphy Bed with Built-In Desk

This full vertical Murphy bed in Water’s Edge gives a Manor guest room a complete built-in treatment that includes a coordinating desk to make the space work year-round. Water’s Edge is a cool blue-grey that reads calm and collected in a bedroom setting, somewhere between a muted slate and a soft steel, with enough color to feel intentional without overwhelming a smaller room.

The full wall system runs floor to ceiling with upper cabinets spanning the top and an open shelving tower on the right side finished with stained wood shelf faces, a warm contrast detail that keeps the cool grey exterior from feeling flat. Drawers at the base handle everyday storage, and brushed nickel bar pulls run consistently throughout. The coordinating desk with matching cabinet base sits in front of the window, purpose-built in the same finish and profile to tie the workspace to the built-in wall without looking like an afterthought.

A full-size bed is the right call for a guest room that also needs to function as a home office. It gives the room back enough floor space to work comfortably at the desk while still providing a proper guest sleeping space when company arrives.

With the bed stowed, this is a complete home office with built-in storage and a dedicated workspace. With the bed deployed it becomes a comfortable guest room that still has everything in its place.
