The Problem: Limited Space, Big Expectations
Imagine this: you’re hosting friends in your cozy living room, but by nightfall, it’s supposed to double as a guest bedroom. With limited square footage, keeping your living room functional while adding a bed seems impossible. Sound familiar? This is a common dilemma in apartments, city homes, or any small space.
The demand for dual-purpose spaces has surged, making Murphy beds—a unique fold-up bed solution—the go-to for space-conscious homeowners. Specifically, the Lori Bed has emerged as an innovative option in this field.
Living rooms are no longer just for lounging; they’re offices, playrooms, and, more often than not, extra bedrooms.
What’s at Stake?
According to the National Multifamily Housing Council, around 39% live in apartments, which often lack extra guest rooms or spacious living areas. As housing costs increase, more people are moving into smaller spaces. This means that every square foot has to be thoughtfully considered.
And let's not forget comfort—cramped spaces can make your home feel less like a sanctuary and more like a storage unit. For many, the living room has become a multi-functional space that needs to serve as a family room, home office, and guest room. Without the right furniture, it can be challenging to maintain both functionality and comfort.
Why the Cluttered Living Space Isn’t Just an Eyesore
A cluttered, multi-purpose living room is more than just a minor inconvenience. A study shows that clutter and cramped spaces can impact our mental health. This leads to increased stress, anxiety, and a decrease in overall well-being.
Imagine coming home after a long day, looking forward to a cozy space to relax. But only to be greeted by a room filled with excess furniture that serves as a constant reminder of the lack of space.
Even if you try to “hide” the guest bed by folding it into a sofa, it doesn’t change the fact that these options aren’t built for ease and comfort. Pull-out couches can be heavy and awkward, not to mention uncomfortable for guests to sleep on. And if you’re using mattress support, the constant setup and takedown can make the space feel more like a storage area than a home.
So, why settle for a crowded, stress-inducing space when you could have a stylish, space-saving solution that fits your lifestyle?
No more excuses for living in cramped quarters or stressing over space—with Lori Beds, you can finally make the most of your living room.
How to Choose the Perfect Murphy Bed
Not all Murphy beds are created equal, so consider these to ensure the best fit for your living room:
Size and Style
Your living room layout and decor matter. Measure your living room to see which bed size will give you maximum floor space during the day. We offer a twin or queen size and styles that fit perfectly with various room dimensions:
Say goodbye to clutter. A fold-away bed creates a more visually pleasing space.
Features for Added Functionality
Many Murphy beds come with extras, like built-in shelves or storage units. The Lori Bed emphasizes simplicity, yet it pairs well with other furniture that provides extra storage, allowing you to customize as you need.
Pro Tip: Combine the wall bed with a side cabinet or floating shelves to keep essentials nearby when it’s time to host guests.
Safety
Safety is always a priority, especially when transforming spaces. The Lori Bed doesn’t use a traditional lifting mechanism, which means fewer moving parts and a sturdy, space-saving design. Rest assured, this bed is safe for daily use.
The Lori Bed: Smart Space-Saving Made Simple

How to Set Up Your Lori Bed in the Living Room
It’s a common issue: you want a space that can serve multiple purposes, but there’s only so much room. Your living room might need to be an entertainment area, a home office, and a guest bedroom all in one. Fitting a full bed in the middle of it? That’s not ideal.
Small spaces can quickly become chaotic and uncomfortable, especially when furniture overpowers the room. To maximize the functionality of your living room, here’s a quick guide on setting up the Lori Bed:
- Choose the Right Wall. Place the Lori Bed along a wall with enough clearance for the bed to fold down smoothly. Consider positioning it opposite the couch or alongside a window.
- Clear the Surrounding Area. Ensure that surrounding furniture like coffee tables, chairs, or plants can be easily moved when you’re ready to unfold the bed.
- Decorate the Shelving. When not in use, the Lori Bed doubles as a shelving unit. Decorate it with lightweight items—think books, vases, or small plants. Avoid items that will need to be removed each time you open the bed.
- Store Bedding Conveniently. Consider a basket or ottoman near the bed to store blankets and pillows, making setup quick and easy whenever guests arrive.
The Lori Bed is here to change the game. Designed with its easy-to-use and compact style, it’s perfect for turning any living room into a multipurpose space. Whether you’re hosting a guest or looking to make better use of your living area, The Lori Bed blends style with functionality.
Design Ideas for Living Rooms with Murphy Beds
Seeing The Lori Bed in a real-life setting can help spark your imagination. Here are some common setups to help you envision its versatility:

- Guest-Friendly Living Room: In a small house, dedicate your living room as an extra guest space. Decorate around The Lori Bed with cozy throws, cushions, and soft lighting. When folded up, it serves as a sleek backdrop, adding warmth to your living area.
- Home Office Combo: Pair the Lori Bed with a small desk on the opposite wall for a work-from-home setup. During the day, the living room functions as your productive workspace; at night, it turns into a restful retreat.
