How Murphy Beds, Cabinet Beds, and Sleeper Sofas can save you lots of money.
Alright, lets talk about money today. You work hard everyday to earn it. Money takes a long time to earn. In 2019, the median household cost per square foot is $123. However, that doesn't include some of the more expensive areas that some of our customers live in. That means that the median 12'x12' bedroom or office size costs a whopping $17,712! But we all know that sometimes the cost/square foot can go up to $300 or $400 per square foot for custom homes of more expensive locations like Washington, New York, California, etc. That means triple the price! $50,000 for a bedroom or office space to accommodate more in home visits or converting a guest bedroom to an office. We are all spending more and more time at home with COVID-19. Why not maximize these space, and save a lot more money by buying and installing a murphy bed rather than building a house with more expensive square footage, building an addition or bonus room, or not fully utilizing the space you currently have?!
Back to the numbers...
Scenario 1: $123/Square Foot
Cost of building bedroom or office space: $17,712
Cost of a sleeper sofa, cabinet bed, or murphy bed: $2,000-5,000.
Savings: $13,000!!!!
Scenario 2: $300/Square Foot
Cost of building a bedroom or office space: $43,200
Cost of a sleeper sofa, cabinet bed, or murphy bed: $2,000-5,000.
Savings: $40,000!!!!!!!!!!!
While there are certainly reasons for building an extra bedroom, bonus room, office space, and even breaking down some walls to build an addition, its hard to argue against buying a sleeper sofa, murphy bed or cabinet bed instead and pocketing the money to spend on a mid-life crisis! :P
Happy shopping!
