Bed with a shelf: non-standard solutions for arranging a berth (21 photos)

A non-standard interior does not always mean the use of some new-fashioned materials or the acquisition of copyrighted items by eminent designers. For the embodiment of a creative environment, it is enough to combine familiar and familiar objects interesting and unusual. A prerequisite is the preservation of the functionality of things and the convenience of their use. For the bedroom it is important to rationally use the space for the bed and the area around it.

Manufacturers offer several options for solving the issue of compact placement of beds and furniture in the bedroom.

Headboard bed

Shelves mounted on the wall above the head of the bed or installed directly at the head of the bed can well replace bedside tables.

Wall models of shelves

Wall models can be used simply as a decorative element of the bedroom interior (as a stand for photographs, souvenirs). Although it’s quite possible to put magazines, a telephone, a laptop on some products. An excellent solution is to put a lamp that will illuminate the pages of books much better than a model mounted on a bedside table.

When attaching the shelf, it is important to choose the right distance from the berth to the structure. The best option for solving the problem is to raise your hand up while sitting on the bed in a comfortable position (half-sitting or reclining). If the shelf is used exclusively as a decor, then you can fix it above your raised hand.

From wall-mounted products, you can create a beautiful composition, with some models used as decorative, and others for specific practical requirements.

Modern shelves are no longer associated only with wood. Glass products look weightless and easily fit into any interior. Variants of their use are determined by the thickness of the glass, the method of fastening.

Shelves integrated in the headboard

Undoubtedly, the wall shelves are decorative and comfortable when decorating the decor of a bedroom. However, if residents often like to rearrange furniture, then hanging shelves just can not be moved. The way out in this situation is a bed with shelves in the headboard (built-in). Manufacturers offer such interesting and non-standard models that it is not difficult to choose a product.

The most popular option is a headboard with a shelf for the entire width of a double or single bed. Designs can be located directly above the head of the bed or on the sides. Some special models of shelves are designed as an extension of the berth and are used as bedside tables. It’s convenient to place lamps and decorative gizmos on them (photographs, figurines).

Shelves are open (it is convenient to put books, decorative things) or closed. Comfortable use of closed shelves will provide sliding doors.

Niche Bed

If there is a niche at the head of the bed, then it is quite possible to equip it with shelves. To emphasize this area of ​​the room, it is enough to highlight the opening with special lighting. The niche can be up to the ceiling or located up to the middle of the wall. In any case, such a decorative zone provides many options for the location of hinged shelves.

Depending on the area of ​​the niche, it can be adapted for storing books, souvenirs, photographs. At the stage of selecting the size of the niche, you can choose the width of the structure more than the head of the double bed. In this case, individual shelves are equipped with sliding doors, and a full-fledged spacious cabinet is formed. If glass doors are made, the design will not look bulky, and finding any books or things will not be difficult.

A non-standard option for a berth can be considered a sofa bed with shelves. In such products, shelves are placed under the armrests. Moreover, there are a lot of furniture options. A sofa bed with a shelf is made in a straight shape or corner. Depending on the area of ​​the room, you can choose models in which shelves are located on the sides or are additionally arranged behind the back of the product. The sofa bed with shelves is comfortable and ergonomic.

Convertible bed

Such models allow you to combine several furnishings (sofa, sleeper, shelves) in one product. These designs can not be called common, due primarily to their high cost, although the advantages of beds with lifting mechanisms are enough:

• wide range;
• turning a room depending on the time of day into a bedroom or living room (very much in demand for studio apartments);
• simple operation of the device for raising / lowering structural elements, which ensures comfortable use of furniture (elderly people and children can easily cope);
• arrangement of a full-fledged resting place in small bedrooms; positive feature - the side surface protects the sleeping person from a cold wall;
• built-in drawers (under the mattress) allow you to put things there (blanket, pillows). The presence of these storage locations may make the structure heavier;
• much easier cleaning.

For a children's room, it is most convenient to install a horizontal structure (transverse-folding). In these products, a bed with a shelf rises across the width of the berth. When closed, the product takes the form of a regular chest of drawers. Books and photographs are quite conveniently placed on the shelf. You can put a TV. It is convenient to install such a crib with a shelf in the nursery, because it will be interesting for both boys and girls.

A non-standard option is a bunk convertible bed, which combines the functions of a bed and a desktop. The conversion occurs through the operation of the swing-out mechanism.

The disadvantages of such models can be considered the high cost and difficulty in choosing an option for a non-standard room.

Bunk beds

For a children's room, manufacturers offer a convenient model of furniture - an attic bed. This design should not be confused with a bunk bed. A feature of the structure of the product is that at a height of about 1 - 1.7 m from the floor there is one berth. There is a table or shelves under the bed.

Such a design with a working area is considered the most ideal option for the design of a children's room. Climbing to the loft bed and going down, the kids get an additional portion of movements, develops agility and coordination, and most importantly - this is a mass of positive and funny emotions.

When buying a product, you should pay attention to the following nuances:

• the safety of the model depends on the stability of the structure, the reliability of the fasteners, the distance between the lower working area and the bed;
• the steps should be well fixed, it is desirable to provide some kind of anti-slip coating for the surface of the steps;
• if small children sleep in the attic bed, it is imperative to install protective walls. This measure will prevent the fall of babies during sleep.

When purchasing an attic bed with a workplace, it should be taken into account that the training area will be dimly lit, so it is necessary to install a desk lamp of sufficient power.

Bed models for children of different ages

For babies from two years, the berth is set relatively low (at a height of 0.8-1 m from the floor). Under the bed can be located: a play area, a wardrobe, shelves for toys, books. The best option is models with a retractable part. That is, during sleep, all the constituent parts of the structure (table, shelves, drawers) easily slide under the bed.

The attic bed for a child over the age of five is already focused on arranging a full-fledged workplace. The area near the table is equipped with bookshelves. The bed is installed at a height of 1.3-1.6 m above the floor.

In teenage models, a berth is placed at a height of 1.6-1.8 m above the floor. These designs allow you to place in the lower part not only the workplace, but also bookshelves, wardrobes.

When buying furniture, preference should be given to products made of wood. When choosing a design, it is advisable to acquire models of calm pastel shades. The ideal option is the texture of natural wood. Depending on the interior of the children's room and its location (north or south side), you can choose beds of light or dark colors.

The variety of bed designs allows you to create a comfortable sleeping place in a compact room or in rooms combined with a living room. The right choice of model will help to embody a stylish interior that will also be comfortable to ensure relaxation and a good sleep.
