From city dwellers living in small condos to suburbanites in large homes, wall beds (commonly referred to as Murphy beds) appeal to people who want or need more living space. This is especially true in large cities where the latest cost saving trend is to live-in studios as small as 300 square feet.


“The wall bed style that customers choose depends on the room’s use,” says Joel Schellhase, Chicago’s Crooked Oak Co-Founder. “We have the unique ability to handcraft wall beds to customers’ specifications and are not limited by pre-fabricated sizes (other than the size of the bed). “We work with our clients to determine the best way to optimize their living space while keeping in mind their budget and design preferences.”

Once the bed is designed to enhance the space, the room is ready to be used year round!
