Choosing a children's loft bed with a wardrobe and a table

There is a serious drawback in apartment buildings - rooms are small in area. The cramped conditions do not have enough space for arranging furniture, so you have to carefully think over the furniture in order to use every square meter with benefit. Furniture complexes consisting of a bed complemented by a table can help with the arrangement. Often they are additionally equipped with wardrobes and shelves, drawers and even a sports corner. Before choosing your complex, you should understand its features.

The loft bed has two tiers. The bed is upstairs. There is a staircase to get to the high berth. Its configuration can be different - from vertical metal rungs to stable steps with boxes in each of them. There are options for a bed with a folding table and a sofa on the first tier. The bed combined with the table is loved by most designers and is popular with different categories of buyers.

She gained such popularity due to the following advantages:

• saving space in an apartment will come in handy in a nursery and small families, because this furniture allows you to place several useful interior items in one place at once;
• everyday furniture modules combined with each other and a bed at a height from the floor visually increase the volume of living space;
• unusual shapes and different structures make it possible to create a unique bed; such a design is not difficult to design, so it will not be difficult to make an analogue according to the drawings;
• a bed combined with a table solves many problems, for example, it serves as a place to sleep and study, and if you combine it with sports equipment and a wardrobe, it will not be equal in functionality.

To the delight of parents and children, all the disadvantages in this design can be solved without problems, but it is worth paying attention to them.

• The height of the bed. This is the first and foremost disadvantage, as it implies the possibility of serious injury. The solution is simple - choose a model with reliable high bumpers on the bed or install them yourself.
• The design is inconvenient in an apartment with low ceilings. This issue can only be solved by choosing a low furniture set. A bed at a height of 1.2 m and a little more will also be a salvation for saving square meters in a home. In the absence of suitable ready-made models, the required complex can be made to order. This option is the most costly, but in the end it is the most successful of all, since it is very reasonable and profitable to think over every detail for the needs of your child.

• The bed on the upper tier at first (out of habit) will bring some discomfort, I mean descent and ascent. And it will also be a little stressful at first to change the bed linen. If the pillowcase and duvet cover are easier to handle at the bottom, then the sheet will have to be covered in place. Especially you have to get used to the sheet with an elastic band around the perimeter. With low ceilings, this becomes a problem, but only the time during which the experience of making the bed in an unusual position will be developed will help to solve it.
• Heavy construction weight. It will not work to move it from place to place. To change the location of the loft bed, you will have to disassemble the furniture into modules. It turns out that it is advisable to think in advance where the overall complex will be located, then you will not have to re-assemble it.

The presence of a computer or writing desk is an important element of any modern child's room. There is often not enough space for it. And the model with a sleeping place at a height frees up enough space underneath to install a full-fledged study table. Thus, in one place, two issues are solved at once: rest and study. It remains to figure out what features each variation of the models of such unusual beds has.

The following types of loft beds are shared for teens and children:

• the table is located directly under the sleeping base;
• the tabletop slides out of the niche under the bed as needed;
• a small table is compactly arranged in the corner and adjacent to the wardrobe.

The work area can be wide, for the entire length of the bed, or a corner, designed for a computer and schoolwork. Such a workplace is often equipped with drawers and shelves for books. The advantage of the sliding table top is its low height. This bed is suitable for children aged 6-7 years and older. With a low bed, the risk of serious injury is minimal, and the benefits of the complex for sleep and exercise are maximal. An engineering idea in the form of a corner table is also beneficial in order to save living space. The free space is suitable for equipping a closet with clothes or a small dresser, while leaving enough room for a chair. It remains to purchase it, and the parental mission of equipping the room can be considered complete.

A table that is in the "shade" of the bed must be properly lit during classes. This is very important for maintaining good vision in a child from childhood. The offspring will have to spend a lot of time studying, so a fluorescent lamp on the right side is an indispensable element of the arrangement. The presence of additional "spot" lighting is only welcome.

When purchasing a loft bed, you need to consider what raw materials were used to make it. How long the furniture will last depends on what material it was made of. Knowing this, it will become easier to care for her.

It is worth paying attention to the main types of materials.

• A slab made from compressed sawdust. A special coating is applied on top, imitating a tree or any structure. This bed is easy to clean, looks great and is lightweight. The downside is that with aggressive influence from the outside, the bed will deteriorate and gradually lose its attractive appearance. Careless handling will lead to chips and cracks, which means you will have to look for a replacement.
• The bed is on metal racks. Such a frame has an unlimited service life. Strong material withstands active mechanical stress. If something can be damaged - only enamel, if you are extremely careless in using the structure, but such cases are rare. The downside of metal is only in the high cost of the structure.

The loft bed does not exceed a standard single bed, except for the height. The idea behind such a model is that it occupies as little area as possible while having a lot of advantageous functions. Traditionally, a set of furniture reaches a height of 2 meters. This is enough to sit at the bottom of the table and sit comfortably in the bed from above. If you wish, you can design a bed according to your own drawings.

Furniture craftsmen embody all kinds of customer ideas into real exclusive complexes. By supplementing such a structure with a horizontal bar or a ladder with storage places in the steps, you can combine even more benefits in one place. In this case, the height and width of the complex can be made individual. You can choose the desired color for the environment, use the most reliable fittings and think over the protection sides and the configuration of the desk. After the children's loft bed is purchased and assembled, it remains only to start getting used to making the bed and using all the functions of the new furniture to the fullest.
