Final Portfolio: Murphy Mirror

Bailey Lariscy

As a group of juniors and seniors, we were instantly inspired by our studio, Welcome Home, which focused on improving college dorm room conditions. We concluded that one of the biggest problems in dorm rooms was the lack of extra space. After coming up with lots of different ideas, ranging from a murphy bed to a horizontal closet, and trying them out, we decided that a Murphy Mirror would best help to solve the problem at hand.

The Murphy Mirror is a full-length mirror that flips upward into a desk. It provides an additional space in the room to get ready in the mornings. A student can easily pull up a chair to use the Murphy Mirror as a vanity. It has extra storage space in the bottom for makeup and accessories. The Murphy Mirror is also made by 2x4 wood so that it can be installed and made flush with the wall.

The Murphy Mirror is the perfect addition to a college dorm room. It provides a student with a full-length mirror as well as a desk with extra storage. The best part about the Murphy Mirror is that it can be made flush with the dorm room wall, and takes up very little space.
