If you live in a small dwelling like me, then you know that every single square inch of space is absolutely precious. In 2004, Parisian designers Décadrages released their version of a Murphy Bed — and not only is it perfect for one's space-saving needs, but it's also an incredible take on innovative design.
The BedUp is a hovering bed that retracts into the ceiling. Not only does the BedUp save up to 30 square feet of floor space, but it also has the ability to transform one room into two. All you have to do is lift the bed up (with no effort, mind you) and the bed disappears into the ceiling, leaving the room open for seating or other pieces of furniture. This is genius!
Kirsten Dirksen, a simple living/self-sufficiency expert, says, "Unlike a Murphy bed which requires a clear space to lower the bed, the BedUp can be lowered over furniture (with some height restrictions) without any rearranging. And you don’t even have to make the bed. 'With the Murphy bed you have to attach the mattress, remove the pillows…' explains BedUp designer Alexandre Grison, 'with this thing the bed can be used exactly as a normal bed, you can make the bed or not you can leave the pillows, you simply lift the bed when you want space.'"
This is such an awesome idea. Watch the BedUp in action below, and please SHARE this with your friends on Facebook!
