Bed with drawers in the bedroom (50 photos): beautiful models
A bed with drawers is an ergonomic and stylish outlet for apartments that cannot boast a large area - and this is almost 80% of all housing available in our country. Therefore, in the article we will consider the features of beds equipped with a linen box, what they are, the pros and cons of different models and how to choose the best model for such a bed for your apartment.
Features
What features characterize the standard model of a bed with drawers:
- Such a bed serves as an additional compartment for storing things and linen, and at the same time as a convenient resting place, performing all the functions of a regular bed. In addition, the bed with drawers is quite decorative, and its appearance can serve as a decoration of the bedroom. Made of solid wood, it can be equipped with a carved back and elegant drawer drawers, can be either a single one and a half, or a full double.
- As we have already figured out, a bed with drawers can be either a single or a double. This allows you to choose a model individually for your needs.
- Boxes can also vary - to be both large and small. Large wooden drawers significantly increase the height of the bed - sometimes you can climb onto such a bed only with the help of a bench, even if it is just a one and a half bed with a linen box. This is the so-called bed podium with drawers. But then they have such a capacity that makes it possible to store in them almost all the linen and textiles intended for the bedroom. This allows you to exclude a chest of drawers from the interior of the room, which significantly saves space.
- Boxes can also be with built-in rows of wheels, which allows them to roll out from under the side of the bed or open using rails that raise the bed to the required height. Which design is more convenient - each one chooses for himself, mainly it depends on the size of the bedroom. In a small space it will be more convenient to lift the mattress up than to roll out drawers from under the bed. But drawers are more convenient in that they are independent of the bed and can be used on their own, as additional pieces of furniture. They are perfect if you have a decent bedroom, and you do not plan to often move a bulky bed with a backrest from the array from place to place.
- Both a double and a single bed with drawers for clothes and linen are an excellent way to decorate the interior of the bedroom, make it more modern and thoughtful. In addition, it saves space in the room - you have more space for life, and in children - for games and other activities.
Bed with drawers for children
What features of beds with drawers allow them to be used as a convenient piece of furniture in the room of a child or teenager:
- A wooden single bed with pull-out side drawers allows you to store not only bedding, but also baby toys, seasonal clothes, and many other things that are not currently required.
- If the bed with drawers is a bunk bed, then in this case the first tier can be equipped with a full-fledged large workplace for the child. Now ready-made headsets are sold where the upper floor is a sleeping place, and the lower one is a working one. Very comfortable and space saving.
- A bed with storage boxes can be arranged in accordance with the age and preferences of the child: a teenage girl will find a princess one and a half bed with a linen compartment in pink or white, and the boy can make a bed in a marine style, decorating the headboard with pirate symbols and other attributes on the topic. Any design options are possible - a bed with drawers for linen - one, two or three - will always fit perfectly into any interior.
- Roll-out wooden classic drawers on casters are convenient in that it is very simple to get things even if they are where the head is located, and the process does not depend on whether someone is currently on the bed or not. The bed can be equipped with one, as well as three or four or more drawers.
How to choose
Consider some points that are important to pay attention to when choosing:
- You must carefully select the material from which the bed is made. Most preferably, the classic model is wooden. This material is versatile, environmentally friendly, beautiful and suitable for almost any bedroom. It is best to choose solid wood furniture.
- Now you can find metal models of beds with a wrought iron headboard. They also have boxes, which in any case will be made of wood - after all, it would never occur to anyone to buy heavy metal boxes that are more similar in weight to chests.
- Pay special attention to how secure the bed is, especially if the mechanism is lifting. This is important, since in the case of poor-quality construction it will be difficult to use the drawers.
- Choose a quality mattress. After all, first of all, a single and double bed with drawers should be a full place to sleep. You should not save, choosing a cheap, but not quite suitable model. Sleep is a necessary guarantee of our full life, so you need to choose the most high-quality and individually suitable mattress option.
- As for the tree, the optimal species are pine and birch. Wooden classic models are inexpensive, and look good, and environmentally friendly. In addition, such natural materials from the array will fill the air of the bedroom with positive energy, which will certainly affect the quality of sleep and, accordingly, well-being. And at the same time they will serve as a convenient place to store things.
- There are models, even single ones, with huge storage drawers - almost the entire length and width of the bed. In such capacious containers below will fit a lot of things - everything you need to hide from prying eyes. This design eliminates the need to install a chest of drawers in the bedroom and makes it possible to dispense with a smaller wardrobe. However, such a size is not suitable for a small bedroom, since there will be difficulties in pulling them out from under the bed - they simply may not have enough free space. Think about this question when buying.
- If the bedroom has an expensive solid wood parquet or laminate flooring, then it is better to choose models with a lifting guide. In this case, you will not spoil the expensive flooring by constantly pulling out the laundry drawers on casters. As you know, the wheels, even if rubber and soft, will still scratch the coating or leave other marks on it over time.
- Sometimes you can see on sale beds with drawers even with plastic or glass backs; the headboard can also be made of the same material. Such exotic options are still quite rare, however, they can ideally suit ultra-modern interiors. But if the bedroom is in a traditional style, then, of course, it is better to stay on a good old tree, from which both the headboard and the frame are made.
- For a bedroom of small sizes, a model with guides - two or three - is best suited, because in order to roll out drawers for things on casters, additional space is required. Single models, which traditionally have a headboard made of solid wood and with wooden backs, are ideal here.
- If you choose a design with guides, keep in mind that the drawers located below form a single unit with the bed and do not separate from each other. This can make bed transportation difficult. Another minus of the model with guides on the sides - there is no constant access to things - you have to lower / raise the top of the bed, which is not always convenient.
- When buying a model with rails, pay particular attention to the reliability of the locking mechanism of the lift panel. The simplicity of controlling the mechanism depends on this. Also exclude the possibility of injury in the event of a sudden breakdown of the mechanism. In the event of a breakdown and failure of this mechanism, the head of the bed along with the back may fall, and the raised panel may fall.
- If you need a lot of storage space, you can choose a bed with drawers, where these same drawers are located one above the other. This doubles the usable area, but the height of the structure along with the back is also about the same. It turns out a design that looks more like a podium.
- You should not choose cheap single models with backs and drawers made of chipboard. Such designs are usually short-lived and not too high quality. It is better to invest in a model of solid wood. But during the operation, you will avoid many unpleasant problems, various breakdowns that are almost guaranteed to occur in the first case.
- A bed drawer with a lifting mechanism is usually solid. Therefore, it will be more convenient to purchase or make special delimiters for it, which will allow zoning the space, and then it is convenient to place various things in the boxes.
- It is better to choose a lifting mechanism based on gas shock absorbers. In this case, the lift will be carried out very easily by two or three shock absorbers, and the fixation will be reliable. Such a design will cost more, but the cost pays off with ease of use. The spring mechanism, of course, is cheaper, but the lifting structure in this case wears out faster and more effort is required to lift the bed - the heaviest models from the array with a broken spring mechanism sometimes rise only by two or three adult men.
