Why Small Space Living Is Booming in India
- Shrinking private space: Across India’s top seven cities, buyers get only ~60 % of the “paid” area as usable carpet.
- Micro apartments (150–400 sq ft) are entering the mainstream, especially in Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Pune, as millennials trade extra square feet for prime locations and affordability.
- Rising per sq ft prices force families to demand more functionality from every inch of their homes.
Against this backdrop, space-saving furniture—led by the humble wall bed—is no longer a luxury add-on; it’s a survival tool for modern Indian living.
What Exactly Is a Wall Bed?
A wall bed / Murphy bed / wallbed is a folding bed frame and mattress that lifts vertically (or horizontally) into a cabinet anchored to the wall. Advanced hardware—like gas springs, counterweights, or remote control motors—makes the lift effortless. When stowed, the visible surface can double as
- a sleek laminate panel
- a built-in bookshelf or wardrobe door
- a fold-down dining table or sofa backrest (with Ribbonic’s combo fittings)
12 Benefits You’ll Love
1. Get More Free Space in Your Room
A regular bed takes up around 35–40 square feet of your room. That’s a lot, especially in small apartments. When you install a wall bed (or Murphy bed), you can fold it up when not in use. This gives you extra open space that you can use as a study area, a play zone for kids, or even a folding dining area.
This makes your room feel bigger, neater, and more functional without increasing your home’s size.
2. One Room = Three Functions
A wall bed lets one room do the job of many.
- In the morning, it can be your home office.
- By afternoon, it becomes a yoga or workout space.
- At night, it easily turns into a bedroom.
With a wall bed, your space adapts to your needs—perfect for small flats, PGs, and studio apartments.
3. Higher Resale & Rental Returns
Homes with space-saving furniture like Murphy beds are more attractive to buyers and renters.
Real estate agents often list properties with folding wall beds as “convertible 1-BHKs,” even if it’s a studio apartment.
This can help you get better resale value and higher rent, especially in crowded cities like Mumbai, Pune, or Gurgaon, where every square foot counts.
4. Helps You Keep Your Room Clean and Peaceful
A wall bed helps you keep your room neat. When you fold the bed up, the space looks clean and open.
Less mess means less stress. It’s easier to focus, relax, and enjoy your home.
Wall beds support a simple lifestyle—you keep only what you need, and your room stays calm and clutter-free.

6. Vertical and Horizontal Freedom
Wall beds come in two types:

- Horizontal wall beds open sideways and fit low-ceiling homes, like older apartments or chawls.
You can pick what suits your room size and layout best. Ribbonic offers both, so you have maximum flexibility.
