Benefits of a personal bed
Double bed
A wide bed with an orthopedic mattress compares favorably with sofas in many ways:
It allows you to have a wonderful rest. The spring filler takes the body's load evenly, allowing the back, neck and legs to relax during sleep and get up prepared for the new day.
The size of the bed is comfortable for a couple. For people with different weights, heights and sleeping habits, you can easily choose a model that will be comfortable for both.
Modern beds look stylish, respectable and will fit perfectly into any bedroom design.
There are models with built-in storage systems, which are never enough for a family. These are drawers under the mattress - pull-out, stationary, shelves next to the headboard or built into the front panel.
The disadvantage of beds is their size - they really require a separate bedroom or remodeling of the living room to create a quality sitting area. Modern sofas are a good alternative to a double bed, but if possible, it is advisable to choose the second one.
Choose from an assortment
Upholstered furniture from manufacturers in the “beds” segment is offered in multiple options. Each model has advantages and disadvantages. Let's figure it out:
Standard double
Double bed with upholstered headboard
A bedroom bed with a soft headboard is a traditional option for a private room. This model looks decent and expensive. It exudes comfort, and it is truly as comfortable as possible for sleeping, given that manufacturers always equip beds with a special orthopedic mattress. The headboard makes the bed stylish - eco-leather, carriage frame, colored upholstery to match the curtains, carpet or other furniture.
The design of the frame can be different - rectangular, radius. The height and filling of the mattress is selected individually - “smart” foam, independent spring block, etc. Standard Euro size - width from 140 to 200 cm, length from 190 to 210 cm. You can choose an option with built-in drawers for storing linen or prefer to have high legs to do regular high-quality cleaning under the bed.
Folding
Folding bed
Based on the well-known “folding bed”, a modern bed is created for the bedroom or living room. They have nothing in common with the uncomfortable ancient models, but, on the contrary, are very comfortable and mobile. Most often they are purchased for rented housing, studio apartments, and one-room apartments. The model folds compactly, does not interfere with free passage, and has a thick orthopedic mattress. Its disadvantage is early wear - it will not be possible to constantly operate the mechanism without breakdowns.
Transformable bed
Wardrobe bed
Lack of space is not a reason to give up the comfort of a wide and comfortable bed at night. These models are at the peak of popularity - at night they are used for sleeping, during the day they are put away in a niche and turned into a soft set.
Such upholstered bedroom furniture would be appropriate in small apartments - one-room apartments, studios. It provides the necessary rest and household order. In addition to transformation into a sofa, the design has other options - bed-wardrobe, bed-table. There are entire modular sets that completely furnish the room.
hanging bed
hanging bed
An extravagant model for people who love everything unusual. Such beds are attached in two ways - on beams in the wall and to the ceiling. The strength of all components is pre-calculated and even very “large” people can use it. It is convenient and comfortable, allows you to efficiently clean the room, but there are more nuances:
the bed is not mobile - after fixing it cannot be moved to another place, or a complex of redevelopment work is being carried out;
the suspended state causes a feeling of anxiety in those sleeping;
very strong walls and beams are required;
installation is technically difficult.
There are t
such beds are rare. Their small analogs are hammocks, which are much more comfortable for a short rest.
Bedroom set
Bedroom set
Furniture for the bedroom is very diverse. In order not to buy each model separately and not be tormented by choosing which item will suit the overall design, manufacturers offer a set at once. This includes a bed, wardrobe/chest of drawers, bedside tables. You can assemble a bedroom set at your own request, specifying the necessary items in the order. In addition to a complete and functional set, there is an opportunity to save your budget for the bedroom.
Wardrobes, bedside tables, pencil cases - the necessary surroundings
The beds are sorted out. Now about storage systems, which are needed in the bedroom even more than in living rooms or hallways. These are all kinds of cabinets, cabinets, pencil cases, drawers, etc. More details:
Dressing tables with mirror
Dressing table in the bedroom
Morning makeup and evening care are an important part of a modern woman’s day. Cosmetics, accessories, stylers and other strange things for men should always be at hand for the fair half of humanity. Various models offered:
straight legs;
corner;
with backlight;
with full-length mirror;
with boxes.
Etc. All kinds of shapes and sizes. It’s easy to choose an option even for a small bedroom.
Nightstands and chests of drawers
Chest of drawers in the bedroom
Bed and underwear, towels, pajamas, etc. - all this requires careful storage. And since changing and changing clothes most often take place in the bedroom, it is logical to purchase a convenient “organizer” for things. Usually these are cabinets and chests of drawers, very organically combined with beds and wardrobes. Bedroom furniture ensures neatness and order.
Illuminated cabinets
Wardrobe for bedroom
Storing casual and outerwear is not always possible outside a closed closet on fashionable rods and brackets. For example, coats and fur coats require solid covers so that the pile not only does not wrinkle, but also does not absorb household odors. Dresses, suits, etc. should hang freely in the closet, without requiring additional ironing before they are put on. A closet with solid doors will better preserve your outfits. And with a floor-length mirror and lighting, it will replace an entire fitting room.
Shelves
Shelves above the bed
Lovers of minimalism also have a lot of things, and for such demanding buyers, the solution for storing them is most often hidden - niches, cabinets with invisible doors, wall-to-wall systems that hide entire dressing rooms. Only small things remain in sight, which can easily fit on shelves - wall or floor racks. It looks neat and stylish.
Armchairs or sofas
Lounge chair in the bedroom
If there is enough space in the bedroom, it can be equipped with a personal chair, banquette or sofa. They are comfortable to relax on, read, and change into home clothes. And in this case, the furniture is offered in a sufficient assortment:
armchairs for the bedroom - frame and frameless, relaxation, rocking chairs, hanging chairs;
banquettes - with backs, on legs and without them with a drawer inside;
sofas - round, rectangular, with expensive velvet upholstery or even fur, making the bedroom a romantic alcove.
The size of the chair should not interfere with the free passage between the furniture in the bedroom, so it is important to measure the place for it in advance to filter out unsuitable ones.
There can never be too many poufs
Poufs in the bedroom interior
Low soft “stools”, individually designed or modular, belonging to one set, are also very convenient in everyday life. People sit on them in front of a mirror, a bed, place them next to a chair to rest their legs, and their cavity is used to store small items. All kinds of colors and upholstery allow you to choose poufs to suit any style and design of the bedroom.
Thinking through the position of bedroom furniture
Correct position of furniture in the bedroom
When the furniture set for the room has been determined - the needs have been analyzed, the functionality of the models has been considered, and even the budget has been determined, it is necessary to think about the arrangement of items in order to maintain ergonomics and make the bedroom the most comfortable. So:
access to a double bed should be from two sides, so its best position is with the headboard facing the free wall;
bedside tables and mirrors should be located next to the bed;
The pouf in the bedroom is placed at the foot of the bed, near the dressing table;
chairs are placed near the window;
a sofa is the prerogative of a large bedroom. If it is used as a bed, then it is installed against the wall. The corner model is placed in the opposite direction from the front door.
Before buying furniture for the bedroom, it is better to measure the space yourself and maintain the required dimensions for passages between objects - 50–70 cm.
Design tips
I want the interior to be not only comfortable in everyday life, but also fashionable, in line with modern style. The design of a bedroom with a bed can be brought to the desired appearance without expensive consultations. To do this, below are tips from professional designers:
The combination of furniture with bedroom surfaces - walls, ceiling, floor. In this case, the room will be kept in
monochrome. To dilute the color, decorative elements are used - pillows, bedspreads, interesting lamps, etc.
Combination of furniture with existing textiles - carpets, curtains.
Using trendy colors - grey, cream, earth, rust, olive, lavender and sea breeze. At the same time, it is important to remember that bright colors accentuate the furniture, neutral colors make the interior complete.
Using accessories in the bedroom. For a romantic bedroom, this is a canopy, couches at the foot, and sconces above the headboard. For owners with a creative side - triptychs or paintings of their own authorship opposite the bed. For those who like to relax with a book, there are rocking chairs by the windows.
If your bedroom is visited by children before bed, buy a pair of frameless beanbag chairs and your evenings will become family-friendly and your interior modern. You can sit in them with the whole family, read at night, talk and even fall asleep. This is a great alternative to traditional chairs.
Lighting also influences style. In the bedroom it should be multi-level - central, point and additional. A chandelier or spots are fixed to illuminate the room in the center of the ceiling. Sconces and lamps are located directly next to the beds. Spot and diode lamps - around the perimeter of the mirror, inside wardrobes. Modern systems look very stylish and will contribute to the design.
In order for the interior to meet a specific direction, you need to know the characteristic features of the style. There are ideas for it on the Internet.
