Beds in the bedroom interior

Bed - a place for night sleep, rest during the day, the main element of bedroom furniture. The convenience of a place to sleep, its environmental friendliness, properly selected materials, beautiful design, make it possible to fall asleep well, get enough sleep, maintaining health and efficiency all day. The design of the bed is selected for the stylistic design of the interior, the size of the room, as well as in accordance with personal preferences.

Choice: criteria, features

A person spends about a third of his life in a dream, six to ten hours a day, so the bed should be carefully chosen so that the rest is complete. Before buying a bed, you should decide whether it will be a single, narrow berth, a “lorry”, double or almost square - euro-size. In the nursery often place a bunk or bed attic. Production materials are equally important - natural, eco-friendly, and hypoallergenic are preferable, especially when it comes to children's furniture. For a harmonious design, the bed is selected for the design of a particular room, combined with the designs of other elements of furniture, decorated in an original way.

Frame

All elements of the bed are mounted on a rectangular, square, sometimes rounded frame.

Frameworks produced today are divided into two types:

• consisting of two side panels and two backs;
• of the four regs and one or two backs.

The second version of the design rests on four legs, sidewalls, wheels, and a platform. The most durable, durable, wear-resistant frames made of natural wood, metals. Tsargs are made about three centimeters thick (this is enough for a double bed), 180-220 cm long, if it is an adult bed or 120-160 cm - for children. The width of the crib for a child is 70-110 cm, adult - 100-220 cm.

Base

The base - the bed itself, is made solid flat, "armored", orthopedic. It keeps the mattress on the frame. Solid made of chipboard, wide boards, plywood, fastened to the frame. It comes out heavy, immobile, the mattress on it is poorly ventilated, because the quality is not long.

The orthopedic grille consists of wooden lamellae fixed by lato-holders. The lamellas are made of walnut, birch, oak, beech, etc. Their thickness is six to nine mm, width is 60-70 mm, the length corresponds to the size of the bed, the distance between the individual lamellae is 65-85 mm, the number in one design is 10- 14 units. Such a bed will come out light, it is comfortable to sleep on it, as it withstands dynamic loads.

Bronze mesh is used in combination with a wadded or foam mattress. The product is durable, but gradually sags under the weight of the sleeper, which is not very useful in an orthopedic sense.
Tip: lamellas with arcuate more springy. Such a bed will last a long time, but a cheap mattress of poor quality will quickly lose its shape here.

Headboard, headboard

The backs have a functional load, and sometimes a decorative one. They are performed as lining on the frame or become a supporting element on the legs. Decorative backs are easily removed if the bed needs to be put tightly to the wall or in a niche.

The headboard is performed:

• simple, just above the foot;
• quadrangular or rounded;
• high or low;
• decorated with bamboo, ceramics, pebbles;
• "antique" or with geometric patterns;
• upholstered with natural leather, fur, beautiful fabrics, combined with other indoor textiles;
• it is made soft with the help of foam rubber glued to the base, imitating textured tiles;
• It is woven using macrame technique or tied with laces;
• is made in patchwork style;
• with the help of pillows, suspended on a special cornice.

A wide can be a cabinet in which bed linen and pillows are kept, and indoor plants in potters and various trinkets are placed on top. The headboard with shelves will allow you to store things that should be "at hand" books, toys, cosmetics, as well as various cute trinkets.

Less commonly, it is made out of volumetric wood carving, forged "laces". But not everyone will like the mirror panel - in Eastern practices, mirrors are recommended to be positioned in such a way that they are turned back towards the person resting, driving away evil forces from him.

Mattress Tips

The mattress is chosen after the purchase of the bed itself or complete with it. For a bed of a non-standard size, its forms are made to order. The mattress for the bed-podium is chosen a little less than the design itself. People up to 20-25 years old need a springless hard, best of all - from coconut fiber. A mattress with spring blocks will suit older adults.

As a filler is used:

• polyurethane foam;
• coconut coir;
• latex;
• sisal;
• memoriform;
• viscoelastic foam;
• memilatex.

Foam, wadded mattresses are rarely used, due to excessively short service life. The design with "soft" springs is acceptable when a person weighs in the range of 60 kg, medium ones - 60-100 kg, reinforced - over 100 kg. Mattresses are unilateral and bilateral.

Natural materials are durable, environmentally friendly, but can cause allergies.

Size, shape

The choice of a form, dimensions of a berth depends on the area of ​​the room. A huge round bed, on which even three people can freely accommodate, is suitable for a room that is close to a square and has an area of ​​at least 15-18 square meters. If there is a canopy, it is also placed in a circle - it looks very harmonious, but the other design should be consistent. A round rug in the center of the room, rounded puffs, corner lockers will complement the interior in an original way. Disadvantages - high price, problems with the choice of blankets, bedding, which will have to be sewn to order or with his own.

When the sleeping area is only 6-10 "squares", then even for two adults to sleep it is often necessary to place a one-and-a-half bed, preferably not the longest one. The adult double bed has parameters from 160 to 190 cm, to 220 by 220 cm. The last one in the West is considered "royal". One-and-a-half - from 120 to 190 cm, up to 150 by 210 cm, single - from 70 to 190 cm, to 100 by 210 cm. Children's beds are different for different ages. From birth to three years - 60 to 125 cm, three to seven years - 60 to 140 cm, school - 80 to 160 cm, for teenagers - 90 to 180 cm.

The size of the place of sleep is taken into account when buying a set of bed linen - single, one and a half, double, children. The length is chosen 10-20 cm more than the height of the user.

Material, types, stylistic direction

External design of beds is selected for a certain style of the interior - when all the rooms are decorated in different styles, the beds are also purchased different. It is important that the appearance of this piece of furniture matches the rest of the interior items - bedside tables, wardrobe, dressing table, textiles on it - other fabrics.

Baby bed designs will be different for girls and boys, babies and teens. For the little ones, miniature cradles and cribs with wooden rods are made. If there are more than one children, a two-tier "building" will do. The colors of bed linen, blankets, the very design for spacious rooms with windows to the south are chosen with dark, saturated colors, if the room is small and the windows are narrow and face north, then warm, light shades are preferable.

Cots are distinguished by the availability of storage space. They are equipped with attachments, drawers, sections, niches, which store small items of clothing, books, bedding, accessories, cosmetics, and more.

Upholstered

The crib, the back and the base of which is upholstered in bright, textured fabric, is suitable for the style of boho, Venetian, retro, baroque.

Pluses upholstery:

• insulation;
• comfort;
• sharp corners hidden;
• original accent;
• many color solutions.

Minuses:

• cleaning complexity;
• the bulk of the structure;
• high price.

Wrought iron beds

An elegant forged design will decorate the interiors in Art Nouveau style, classic, Scandinavian, coarser - industrial, loft, brutalism, voluminous asymmetrical patterns painted in bright colors, suitable for futuristic interiors.

Forging can be forged curls with anti-waving, monograms, vegetable elements or just straight vertical bars of various thickness, connected at the top and bottom, and at the corners of the bed - smooth shiny balls, volumetric flowers. The design goes as strong as possible, it is difficult to loosen, which is most important for young couples. Additional wooden elements will give the interior softness.

Solid wood

A coarse, good-quality bed fits perfectly into the loft-interior, modern, rustic, Scandinavian, Provence, and more refined, with graceful legs, carved back - English, baroque, gothic.
The most commonly used:

• oak;
• nut;
• beech;
• wenge;
• cedar;
• hornbeam;
• Birch tree;
• maple;
• ash.

Masters sometimes use a timber of several types of wood at the same time or draw up a veneer structure from a variety of species - this is how a unique pattern is created.

Often the whole bedroom is made out of wood - a bed, a wardrobe, bedside tables, etc.

With canopy

Suitable for expensive, luxurious interiors - classic, Empire, Art Deco, Chebbi-chic, country, African. Initially, he protected the sleeper from annoying insects in hot countries or from cold, drafts - in the north. Modern canopies protect against daylight, partly from noise. Openwork canopy knit their own hands with a hook or knitting needles, weave macrame. Thin, transparent textiles will allow you to create a romantic interior in an adult bedroom, in the nursery - to create a secluded place for each of the children.

Canopy attached to a large or small, round or rectangular frame under the ceiling. It will give comfort to a huge bedroom with high ceilings, but it will make a small one cramped. Also, the canopy should be washed frequently - it is able to collect a lot of dust, which can be dangerous for people suffering from allergies. At the same time the canopy also delays the pollen flying from the street.

The canopy is often combined with a valance at the bottom of the bed, a dressing table is arranged in the same way, less often - a wardrobe.

Suspended

The bed does not have to stand firmly on the floor. Suspended ceiling will decorate the avant-garde, modern interior, grunge, loft. It is mounted on four ropes, cables, chains, can swing, but only suitable for spacious rooms, in which there is enough space for "swing", without fear of demolishing the surrounding furnishings.

The convenience of such a decision is that any restrictions for covering the floor disappear, because there is no pressure on it, but the ceiling is made as strong as possible. The design with a lifting mechanism is convenient for cramped rooms - in the afternoon it is attracted to the ceiling, freeing up space, for the night - is being lowered down.

With a protrusion at the base

The bed on the podium has a protrusion extending far beyond the mattress - by several tens of centimeters. The mattress itself is placed in a special slot in the middle. In the pedestal is placed drawers for storing bedding, underwear, etc. Another option is to insert the bed frame into the improvised podium, and the mattress itself is inserted into it.

The protrusion is upholstered with a cloth or used as a table, decorated with a LED strip along the contour, which helps to avoid injuries when moving in the dark. The platform is installed directly on the floor, being solid or on several short legs.

Folding built-in beds

This design is indispensable in one-bedroom apartments, close studios, where several people live. It is suitable for high-tech styles, minimalism, modern. Such a bed is combined with a wardrobe-transformer, where it retracts during the day, dropping overnight. It is performed single, one and a half, double.

The sofa bed also saves space by becoming a sleeping place for two people when unfolded, and used as a seat during the day. For children's rooms, various designs with a sleeping place are created, which allow to save the maximum space for games and sports activities. The cot reclines from the wall, extends from under the closet, transforms from a narrow sofa, is located at the very top, like an attic, etc.

When choosing a special attention is paid to the lifting mechanism, which should easily lift the bed to the wall. This is most important when designing a nursery - the design smoothly rises and falls by pressing one key, which is accessible even to a child.

Loft style do-it-yourself pallet

For some types of interior, such as loft, industrial, art-believe, ecological, cribs made personally from euro pallets will be very useful. The number of pallets is selected based on the size, configuration, height of the desired structure.

For work we need:

• pallets from any tree;
• simple pencil;
• tape measure or ruler;
• jigsaw or hacksaw;
• sandpaper or grinding machine;
• hammer;
• screwdriver or drill;
• screws or nails;
• tassels;

• on the “rise” - a peculiar podium is made of six to twelve pallets, a mattress is placed in the middle, and the bottom is decorated with decorative lighting;
• mobile bed - furniture castors are mounted from below: for a single bed there are four pieces, a double bed - six or more;
• sliding design - one or two more berths are located under the main frame, which, if necessary, are put forward;
• high bed - has a height of more than half a meter, under it are boxes, baskets of things, toys, books;
• hanging in the air - the base is on the legs, located closer to the middle of the structure, they are almost invisible. The frame is decorated with LED strip along the bottom to create a “floating” effect;
• wardrobe-bed - four-six pallets are placed on each other, fastened together. Narrow niches, shelves used as storage places are formed below the bottom;
• bed-house - children's, usually bunk, usually closed on three sides, equipped with a ladder with places to store toys, things.

Euro pallets are used entirely, if necessary, sawn into two parts, or completely disassembled into individual components.
