Murphy Beds in Capitol Hill, Washington DC

Capitol Hill homeowners are stewards as much as owners, and anything built into a Hill rowhouse has to belong there. Our Murphy beds are designed to that standard, with painted cabinetry, traditional proportions, and hardware that would not look out of place in 1910. The result reads as original built-ins that happen to sleep two.

What you see in the room is furniture, not hardware. We build the bed into a cabinet wall with real doors, drawers, and shelving around it, so the piece works as storage and looks like a built-in every hour the bed is up. Capitol Hill homeowners tell us guests regularly fail to spot the bed at all. The bed is also just the start of what we build; our Capitol Hill furniture store page shows the full range.

The Case for a Murphy Bed in Capitol Hill

It changes what a house can do without changing the house. No addition, no moved walls, no permits, one day of installation. For most Capitol Hill homes it is the single largest gain in function per dollar available, and unlike freestanding furniture it adds finished, built-in quality that stays with the home. Plenty of clients pair the bed with custom closets in Capitol Hill in the same visit.

Popular Murphy Bed Configurations in Capitol Hill

Most Capitol Hill clients configure their system around one of three cores: bed plus wardrobe towers for a guest room, bed plus desk for an office, or bed plus media wall for a den. All three keep the same furniture-grade construction, soft-close hardware, and full-height cabinetry; only the layout changes. The Murphy beds in Chinatown page shows how neighbors configured theirs.
