Pricing Guide
Transformable Murphy Bed & Wall Unit
Core Structure & Mechanics
- Hydraulic Lift System: Custom-fabricated folding bed mechanism (Queen/Double) using pneumatic gas pistons or spring counter-balances for safe, weight-calibrated operation.
- Moisture-Resistant Carcass: Internal structure built using Boiling Water Proof (BWP) Marine Plywood to prevent warping in humid conditions.
- Integrated Workstation: Fold-down or pull-out study table flush-mounted into the fascia, allowing immediate conversion from bedroom to home office.
Finishes & Safety
- Seamless Fascia: Front panels finished in premium 1mm+ anti-scratch Laminate or PU coating, designed to look like a feature wall when closed.
- Ventilation & Protection: Mattress base drilled with air vents to prevent fungus buildup; includes automatic or manual fold-out metal legs with rubber floor protectors.
- Soft-Close Storage: Overhead lofts and side cabinets utilizing soft-close hinges for noiseless operation.
Rotating or Concealed TV Unit
Structural Engineering
- Internal Metal Skeleton: MS (Mild Steel) framing fabricated inside the woodwork to support 43 to 55 inch TVs, preventing wobbling during rotation.
- Heavy-Duty Mechanism: Industrial-grade 180 to 360 degree swivel hardware (for pillar units) or pocket door systems (for wardrobe units) to fully hide the screen.
Cable Management & Aesthetics
- Zero-Wire Visibility: HDMI and power cables routed through a hollow central axis or behind false backing to ensure no wires dangle during movement.
- Maintenance Access: Concealed magnetic or screw-mount panels behind the TV for easy access to set-top boxes and wiring.
- Dual-Sided Finish: Back of the rotating panel finished with decorative laminate or fluting to serve as an aesthetic feature for the adjoining room.
Hidden Storage & Utility Joinery
Dead-Space Optimization
- Shallow Niche Units: Cabinets with 4 to 8 inch depth built into unused doorways or wall cavities, ideal for concealed shoe racks or pantries.
- Rolling Under-bed Storage: Large drawers mounted on heavy-duty castor wheels rather than fixed channels, allowing complete detachment for floor cleaning.
- Corner Solutions: Kitchen or wardrobe units fitted with Magic Corner pull-outs or wide-angle hinges (165 degrees) to access deep blind corners.
Construction & Finish
- Seamless Camouflage: Shutters designed to blend with existing walls using matching paint or wallpapers, utilizing groove lines to hide joinery.
- Hygiene-First Interiors: All internal surfaces lined with 0.8mm white laminate for light reflection and easy cleaning.
- Machine Edge Banding: 2mm PVC edge banding pressed on all exposed plywood edges to prevent moisture ingress and snagging.
About Space-Saving & Functional Design
Why I Love Designing for Small Spaces
Mumbai mein jagah toh hamesha kam hi padti hai (space is always less in Mumbai). I get a real kick out of making a tiny home feel big, warm, and personal. For me, it's not just fitting furniture in - it's about finding creative ways to give your home that apna wala vibe (that true "mine" feeling).
How We Make Every Inch Count
- We design custom convertible furniture ideas like Murphy beds and foldable table designs, perfect for rooms that work overtime - guest room, study, pooja space, all in one.
- Hidden storage solutions are my jam. Seamless shoe racks behind doors, under-bed drawers on wheels you can pull out fully (so no more dust bunnies!), and cabinets with concealed handles for that clean look.
- Sometimes, the only way is to break a wall or merge two rooms. Opening up a cramped kitchen or combining a small bedroom with the hall can totally change the feel of your flat.
Details That Actually Matter
- We nerd out over hardware and clever home hardware - using things like Magic Corner pull-outs for awkward kitchen corners or special hinges for L-shaped wardrobes. Half the time, even I forget the technical names!
- Multi-purpose room layout is always top of mind. Rotating TV units, breakfast counters that disappear, storage you barely notice until you need it.
Real Talk on Automation
We've tried hydraulic lifts for beds - handy for seniors, but honestly, they're not for everyone. Sometimes slower, sometimes pricier, but if it helps you, we’ll consider it.
Doing It Together
I believe design works best when we team up. You'll find us easy to chat with - no fancy talk, just loads of ideas and energy to make your place feel like home.
