How to Style a Murphy Desk

Murphy desks are an ideal solution for those who don't require a full-sized desk but still need somewhere to work. They can be used in various spaces, from living rooms to bedrooms, and can easily fold away for storage when not in use.

You have a wide choice of styles when it comes to murphy desks, from industrial and traditional to glamorous and luxe options. Select one that blends in with your existing decor and makes the most of space in your room.

For instance, a sleek and slim design will fit seamlessly with mid-century modern decor and look just as fashionable when folded against the wall as when in use as a desk. You can even jazz it up with some decorative accessories on top for some added personality!

For a more rustic aesthetic, wooden designs with natural wood finishes make an excellent addition to your living room or bedroom. The warm colors and grains of the wood add warmth to the space which can then be finished off by adding decorative items for an aesthetically pleasing finish.

Another excellent option is a drop-leaf design, which takes up minimal room. When not in use as a desk, this folds flat against the wall to take up minimal room in your home.

When not in use as a desk, the panel folds down and can be stored against a wall or behind a bookcase for extra storage. Doing this will free up plenty of room in your living room while creating a more compact layout.

Wall-mounted folding desks with drawers are an ideal choice for minimalist interiors, providing you with a smart place to store your items. This is particularly helpful if you have children as the drawers will help them keep their things organised and tidy.

This stylish white desk can be used in either a contemporary or traditional home, its gold detailing and black hardware adding an air of glamour. With its slim profile, the desk will blend in easily with most interiors while providing extra storage space for items that don't fit on shelves.

A hutch-style desk is another good choice that will complement many interiors, its large surface area and built-in cupboards providing plenty of storage. Pair it with a cozy sofa or coffee table to create an inviting seating area, or pair it with a dining set for entertaining guests.

When using a murphy desk in your kids' room, safety must always come first. Be sure not to leave it unlocked while they're sleeping as that could lead to them accidentally opening it and getting hurt.
