Not sure how to maximize space in a small bedroom? Murphy beds (also called wall beds) allow you to hide your bed when you need to keep an area open. They’re most popular in studio apartments or in bedrooms that double as a home office or playroom. Some space-saving beds even come with extra storage, or you can get ones that are combined with a sofa.
