Murphy beds in Salt Lake City and the valley
Salt Lake City is bungalows in Sugar House with 8 foot ceilings, hundred-year-old homes in the Avenues with a basement apartment, towers downtown where the living room is the guest room, and new builds in Daybreak and Herriman with 9 foot basements. Each one wants a different bed. We measure before we recommend.
What tends to work where
Sugar House, Millcreek, Liberty Wells bungalows. Small bedrooms, 8 foot ceilings, real wood trim. A vertical queen in a shaker door stained to match the trim, or a horizontal queen under a window if the ceiling drops. Plaster walls are fine once the studs are found.
The Avenues and Capitol Hill. Basement apartments and mother-in-law suites with low ceilings and brick or stone foundations. Horizontal beds and masonry anchors. See basement apartments and ADUs.
Downtown and Sugar House condos. The living room sleeps the guests. A murphy bed with a sofa keeps it a living room. We schedule around building loading rules.
Holladay, Cottonwood Heights, Sandy, Draper. Bigger homes, finished basements, bonus rooms over the garage. A queen with side cabinets in a basement family room, or a desk bed in the office that hosts.
Daybreak, Herriman, Riverton. New builds with 9 foot basements and builder-grade trim. Painted shaker to match the builder white, or a stained alder to warm it up.
How a Salt Lake visit goes
Send the form with the room, ceiling height and a photo. We reply the same business day with a price range. If it fits, we come measure, bring stain and paint samples, and confirm the number. Four to eight weeks later the crew installs in about half a day.
Also serving
Lehi, American Fork, Provo and Orem on the Utah County page. Ogden and Layton on the Ogden and Davis County page. Park City and St. George have their own pages because the homes are different.
Questions people ask
Do you do design visits in Salt Lake City?
Yes, across the valley: downtown, the Avenues, Sugar House, Millcreek, Holladay, Cottonwood Heights, Sandy, Draper, West Jordan and Herriman. The visit is free and takes about an hour.
My Sugar House bungalow has 8 foot ceilings and plaster walls. Will it work?
Usually. A vertical queen fits under a true 8 foot ceiling and plaster over lath anchors fine once we find the studs. Older homes sometimes have a picture rail or a radiator in the way, which is why we look first.
Can you install in a downtown condo?
Yes. We work with building management on elevator and loading times, protect the hallways, and anchor into the demising wall or a concrete wall with the building's rules in mind.
