Murphy beds — a bedroom that folds away
Mount a Murphy bed on any wall, choose the mattress size, and toggle it open to check the room still works.
A Murphy bed is the classic small-space move: a real bed that folds into a shallow wall cabinet by day. The one in RoomSketch3D behaves like the real thing — closed, it's a slim cabinet on the wall; open, the bed projects into the room and Smart Flow Check verifies you can still walk around it.
What you'll need
- •A room with a free wall long enough for the mattress you want
Step by step
- 1
Place it on a wall
Search the catalog for Murphy, pick the bed, then tap the wall it mounts on. The cabinet snaps flush to the wall.
Closed, it's a slim cabinet against the wall. - 2
Pick mattress size and orientation
Inspector → choose Twin through Cal King, and whether the bed folds down vertically (narrow cabinet, deeper projection) or horizontally (wide cabinet, shallower projection).
- 3
Flip it open and closed
Toggle the open state to see both footprints. Open it while furnishing to make sure the bed clears the sofa, desk, or dining table sharing the room.

Check the room in 3D
In 3D the closed bed reads as a clean cabinet; open, the mattress folds down into the room.
The cabinet reads clean and flush in 3D.
Tips
Leave landing room
Plan about 3 feet of clear floor beyond the open bed's foot so there's somewhere to stand while making it.
