What are some ideas for decorating the side shelves of a Murphy bed?

Side shelves on a Murphy bed work best when they balance visual appeal with everyday practicality, using a curated mix of books, small indoor plants, framed photographs, bedside lighting, a dedicated desk zone for a laptop and stationery organiser, and a unit storage for linens and daily essentials to create a complete and lived-in bedroom feel within a multipurpose room. Cubit Furniture’s Murphy Beds come with customisable side storage units and integrated desk configurations designed to complement the main cabinet, giving you a built-in framework to style, organise, and work from your space exactly the way your lifestyle and interior aesthetic demand.
