When it comes to great design, it’s all in the details. When searching for the right Murphy bed for your home, it is important to consider your wood and finish options carefully. You can customize each product with the specific wood and stain that you are interested in. These are the details that will determine the style of your room.
Here are some questions to consider:
Oak or Maple? Selecting the type of wood for your Murphy bed is an essential step in the design process.
Maple is an open-grained hardwood that has alternating areas of relatively porous and dense wood causing an accentuation of grain pattern. Maple’s straight-grain appearance is ideal for smooth, clean looks creating a delicate and charming style.
Oak is closed-grained, demonstrating a more uniform grain texture throughout furniture. It is considered a timeless classic that brings warmth and beauty with its natural grain texture.
Finished or Unfinished? There is no right or wrong answer, it truly depends on your personal preference.
If you are the kind of DIY person who prefers to stain or paint your own furniture, you may want to opt for an unfinished oak or maple bed. The bed comes unprimed and untreated allowing you to be creative and add your own personal touches.
