A bed in the bedroom is a key design element

We spend too much time in a dream to be frivolous in choosing a sleeping place. It is difficult to overestimate a comfortable and safe health break. In order to have a good sleep and a relaxing rest, in the morning to feel cheerful and full of energy, we need to spend the night in a comfortable position, on a bed with good orthopedic support. If for designers the question of choosing the design and the place to install the bed is the first priority, then for buyers the criteria for selecting the quality of the materials of the bed frame, base and mattress for it become primary. In this publication we will try to deal with the issue of choosing a bed, and with the effective placement of the bed in the bedroom.

It's no secret that sleeping on a couch, no matter how high-quality it may be, will not be comfortable and safe for health. The folding design is unable to provide a proper orthopedic base to support the human body. That is why all experts recommend buying a bed for a sound and peaceful sleep. Even if your home does not allow you to allocate a separate room for arranging the bedroom, it is better to use modern folding bed mechanisms and integrate them into a small space of the common room. After all, even for such beds, you can choose an orthopedic mattress that will perfectly support your body during sleep and provide a convenient location with a fairly rigid base.

Folding beds, as a rule, are built into shallow cabinets, which look like ordinary storage systems during the day and are part of the living room interior. At night, the owners simply open the doors, transform the bed and the room becomes a bedroom. Obviously, such designs are not suitable for very full and elderly people.

When choosing a folding bed, special attention should be paid to the frame structure (as a rule, it is made of metal) and connecting elements. Sometimes manufacturers save on fittings and plastered plastic elements. A bed with a similar composition of parts in the frame and the folding mechanism will not last for a long time, because you will use the structure every day.

The most durable are beds with a frame made of metal or solid wood. Retro style metal beds are now gaining unprecedented popularity in modern bedroom design projects. Natural color and painted, with chrome plating and imitation of gilding and silvering - metal frames are durable and practical. A wide range of models and the ability to organically fit such a design into different options for stylistic trends in the design of sleeping rooms attract modern buyers.

A metal bed can be organically fit into both modern and classic interiors. The abundance of forged parts, decor and shine gravitates to the use of a metal bed in a traditional style, simple and concise forms will harmoniously look in a modern style, gravitating to comfortable minimalism.

A white painted metal bed can become an organic part of a romantic interior design style. Provence style or shabby chic will become more colorful with such a model of a berth, if the paint is peeling off slightly.

A bed with a frame made of metal and coated with chrome spraying looks modern, original and even glamorous. For variations of the modern style of interior design, such models will become an organic center of gravity.

The most durable bed frames at the moment are considered metal and solid wood. A design made of chipboard is much cheaper than the listed options, but will not last you more than 5 years. Before you buy your favorite bed - be sure to try it for comfort. The bed frame provides its strength, but it will only be possible to verify this quality over time. But the convenience of bedding is the key to your health and good sleep, you can still appreciate it in the store.

Before choosing a specific model of the bed - make inquiries about the manufacturer. If the brand is sufficiently promoted, then, overpayment exclusively for the name is possible. But too low a price should alert you - a product can be produced without quality control (violation of production technology), using glue or varnish that can harm health. As always, the “golden mean” is the best option for a purchase.

Pay close attention to the quality of execution of the connecting elements and fittings. We recommend to refuse plastic parts right away - such structures will not last long. Next, inspect the frame and base under the mattress. With the base, everything is quite simple - it must be orthopedic, that is, it must be flexible enough (therefore, we exclude the solid base from particleboard or fiberboard), to ensure that a person can take a pose that is comfortable for sleeping. The base for the lamella mattress is the most popular type of support (due to its safety and accessibility). The flexibility of the slats allows the person sleeping on the bed to take an anatomically correct position.

It is believed that the more lamellas support the mattress, the better for the person (but also the higher the cost). There are standards for creating reliable support - in a single bed of slats there should be at least 15 pieces, in a double - 30 and more. It should also be noted that the distance between the lamellas should not exceed the width of the strip itself.

For classic interiors, as well as rooms decorated in the neo-classic style, bed models with fabric upholstery are perfect. As a rule, such structures have soft headboards, sometimes upholstery with filler also adorns the foot. In choosing such a bed, in addition to the standard dilemmas about the material for the production of the frame and the arrangement of the base, the model of the mattress, one will also have to solve the difficult issue of selecting fabric for upholstery. In this case, you should be guided by your preferences and lifestyle - only you know how often the upholstery of the bed will need to be cleaned (young children and pets are the main contenders for arranging sabotage in this matter). The indisputable fact is only one thing - it is more difficult to care for natural fabrics and they are more expensive, and synthetic analogues can not be called environmentally friendly raw materials.

Upholstery of the frame with fabric, using a sealant allows you to not only create an original design using beautiful textiles and bright colors, but also to protect you from collision with sharp corners. Such designs are relevant for installation in apartments and houses where there are small children.

Ideal is the installation of a bed in the center of the room, pushed to one of the free walls. Depending on the shape of the room (square or rectangle) and its size, the bed can be moved to both the long and short sides of the sleeping space. The main thing is that on both sides to the bed there are free passages (at least 50 cm). Ideally, on the sides of the bed are set tables stands or bedside tables, but in small rooms they can be neglected. Instead of table lamps in this case, you can use wall sconces that are attached to the head of the bed or wall.

In small rooms there is no other way out than to install a bed in one of the corners of the room.The approach to this design will be limited to only one side, but the usable space of a small room will be saved. If we are talking about a bed for one person, then there will be no problems with such a placement of a berth. If you need to install a double bed in the corner of the room, then at least you need to make sure that the approach to the bedroom is accessible at the foot of the bed, and not just from one of the sides of the structure.

If you are forced to set the bed in the corner of the room to save the usable space of the bedroom, then you need to take care of the protection of wall decoration. An excellent solution may be something like a soft headboard, but located in the form of a corner structure. Thus, you not only protect the walls from abrasion, but also protect yourself from collisions with hard surfaces.

In some rooms, the area is so small that the bed needs to be installed not just against the wall, but should have a headboard to the window. Knowing about such an arrangement, plan to buy a bed with a low headboard, a through structure, or without it at all.

If you need to install two beds in the bedroom, then the layout will be optimal, in which access to both beds is open from all sides - two beds are set like islands. But not always for such an arrangement, the room has a sufficient area. In the case of small-sized rooms, you can move the beds to the walls and install them parallel to each other, leaving a place in the center for one common bedside table.

One of the most original for a long time remains hanging models of beds. The mounting feature (suspension of the structure on thick ropes or metal chains) by itself represents originality. The measured wiggle before bedtime and the ingenuity in the approach to arranging the bedroom attract buyers of similar models around the world. Among our compatriots there are also many admirers of original structures that can withstand heavy weight.

It is better to know about the installation of a hanging bed in advance so that it is possible to plan the finishing of surfaces, including the ceiling, for the successful organization of fastening of the swinging structure. Not every room, in principle, is ready for such loads - the structural and technological features of the material for the manufacture of ceilings must be clarified in advance.

The bed in any bedroom plays the role of a focal point, an island that draws all the attention. In the case where the berth is a suspension structure - attention is doubled. The bed is not easy to become the main piece of furniture, but the starting point in the formation of the entire design of the room.

Original look models of beds, the external elements of which are pasted over with mirror surfaces. Such designs contribute to the visual expansion of the space - the bed itself seems to dissolve in the created image of the bedroom, reflecting all its elements. A similar design will organically look both in the bedroom for the young girl and in the bedroom of the parents.

A bed made from used materials is, of course, an original piece of furniture that can become its highlight. For example, a berth made of building wooden pallets is a quite solid structure that can last for many years. It is important only in pursuit of originality and economy of finance not to miss the issues of ergonomics and health safety of such a berth - the orthopedic base and mattress must meet all modern requirements.

A bed can be not only a place for sleeping and relaxing, but also a spacious storage system. It would be a pity not to use such an amount of free space under construction, especially in living conditions in dwellings with small and medium sizes.There are several ways to arrange storage systems at the base of the bed. The first and simplest is the presence of a lifting mechanism, when the entire base with the mattress rises, freeing up access to a spacious storage system. Of course, such a design significantly increases the cost of the bed. But you get an easy to use (it will not be difficult to lift a mattress on the base) a place for storing pastel accessories, extra blankets and rugs.

The second option for arranging storage systems at the bottom of the bed is drawers. Using such devices is incredibly simple and convenient. Custom-made such storage systems will cost more than turnkey bedroom solutions offered by manufacturers.

In addition to drawers, it is possible to organize storage cells, which will be opened with the help of sliding shutters made of the same material as the whole structure. In order to avoid traumatic situations associated with bulging accessories of storage systems, you can use holes made in sliding shutters as handles.

Another effective way of arranging storage systems is to arrange open cells around the perimeter of the bed base. To store bedding on such shelves is not aesthetically pleasing, but for books and other trifles, open cells are perfect.

A four-poster bed (or at least a design for it) always creates some romantic mood in the bedroom interior. Memories of those times when such structures above a berth were a necessity - retained heat and protected from insects, were replaced exclusively by an aesthetic component. The original design of the bed with a canopy frame, which allows you to bring not only originality, but also notes of romance to the bedroom interior, will be your highlight.

One of the variations in the organization of a cozy bed is the installation of two racks with curtains on the sides of the bed. As a rule, fabric for such blinds is selected complete with textile design of the berth itself, so combinatorics with decorative design of window openings are possible.

Massive wooden beds with beautiful carvings will never go out of style. The naturalness of the material, the skillful wood carving and the uniqueness of custom design perfectly fit not only into classic interiors. In a modern bedroom with a minimum of decor and a maximum of functionality, such a bed will be the "star of the show."

A new word in the world of bed design is the design of natural rattan. Despite the sufficient lightness of such products, the bed is strong and durable. Originality of performance, a wide range of color solutions and texture of models allows them to become a real decoration of the interior. If your bedroom is decorated in a tropical style, then a rattan bed will be more than appropriate.

Continuing the theme of tropical style, natural materials and weaving - a design project of a bedroom with an original bed, decorated with a vine. Despite the transparency and visual lightness of the design, the bed is quite durable, because the frame itself is made of metal, and weaving is only a decorative component of the model.

Models of beds look no less original, made of natural elements - branches, twigs, beams. At the same time, it is believed that the smaller the number of treatments the material undergoes, the more original the design will be. Such unique natural materials can act not only as decorative elements, but also bearing surfaces - parts of the bed frame.

Forged backlit - original, inexpensive and modern. Highlighting the bottom of the structure with legs located deep in the structure allows you to create an amazing visual effect. It seems that the bed is floating in the air.
