Murphy Beds in Shaw, Washington DC

Shaw homes span two eras, and neither one prioritized storage. The renovated rowhouses kept their historic footprints; the new condos kept their efficiency. Both benefit from the same move: a wall of purpose-built cabinetry with a Murphy bed inside, adding a sleeping function and serious storage in the space one bookcase used to waste.

Every unit starts with your room's measurements, not a catalog page. In Shaw we have built beds into alcoves, around radiators, under sloped ceilings, and across full feature walls. The cabinet carries the load, the floor and studs anchor it, and the finished piece fits the room like it was drawn with the house. The bed is also just the start of what we build; our Shaw furniture store page shows the full range.

Why Shaw Homes Fit Murphy Beds So Well

Space, mostly, but also calm. A room with a clear floor and closed cabinetry reads tidy even on a busy week, and that matters in Shaw homes where one room has to serve the whole household. The bed being invisible until needed is the feature people say they underestimated the most. Plenty of clients pair the bed with custom closets in Shaw in the same visit.

What Comes With a Shaw Murphy Bed

Standard equipment on our systems includes adjustable shelving, soft-close hinges and slides, and a counterbalanced mechanism that one adult can operate with a hand. From there Shaw clients choose finishes from a broad range of wood grains and painted looks, plus options like integrated lighting, fold-down desks, and wardrobe towers.

About Shaw

Shaw has transformed over the past two decades while keeping its historic bones, with renovated rowhouses and new condos sharing the same blocks. Homes here often mix old and new in one floor plan, and the storage was usually an afterthought in both eras. Purpose-built cabinetry is how Shaw residents get their space back.
