Wooden double beds

The bed is the main element of the bedroom. The choice of these interior items should be approached very responsibly. They should be not only as comfortable as possible, but also beautiful. Today we will take a closer look at the beautiful models of double beds made from different types of wood.

Natural wood furniture has always been valuable. And even in the age of high-tech materials, wooden furniture remains in demand and desired. The main advantage of such interior items is their environmental friendliness. Not all materials from which furniture is made can boast of this quality today. In the process of manufacturing wood products, hazardous and harmful chemicals are not used, as, for example, in the case of MDF sheets, which contain formaldehyde resins.

However, it is worth noting the high cost of such beds. Not every consumer can afford them. But those people who decided not to save on their health and purchased such products were satisfied with their purchases. Experts say that such interior items have an extremely beneficial effect on the human psyche and calm the nervous system.

It is impossible not to note the unsurpassed appearance of such furniture. With the help of a beautiful wooden double bed, you can create a very pleasant, cozy atmosphere and a harmonious interior, which will bring a lot of pleasure. Such models look great in many interiors. It can be classic, rustic country or French provence. You can choose the right option for any situation.

Most types of wood require special care:

• The surfaces of such beds must be regularly treated with special protective impregnations, which will preserve the natural material from negative external influences, temperature extremes and wood parasites.
• If you do not take care of such furniture, then over time it can crack and lose color.
• Such impregnations are also necessary to comply with fire safety. It's no secret that wood is flammable. Using quality tools, you can make this material more fireproof.

As a rule, in such models there is an exquisite wooden headboard, made in a pretentious manner.If the furniture has a foot, then it can be carved and decorated with graceful elements.

Natural interior items in the style of French Provence are distinguished by their attractive appearance. As a rule, furniture in a similar vein is made from light wood species.

Today, high-quality and beautiful models from Belarusian, Russian, Malaysian and even Chinese manufacturers are very popular. Products are made from different types of wood and have different prices.

For the production of quality bedroom furniture, the following types of wood are used:

• Pine. This breed is healing and has a healing effect on the human body. It has been used in furniture making since ancient times. Pine is very durable due to its resinous composition. A bed made of such a natural material will last a very long time and will not lose its attractive appearance, provided it is used carefully. It is worth noting the resistance of pine to the negative effects of insects and other woody parasites. Many consumers opt for pine furniture, as it has a democratic cost.

• Alder. This tree species has a soft and pliable structure. It is easy to process and is perfect for making beautiful carvings. Alder has a pleasant shade that can emphasize all the positive aspects of the interior in which it is located.

• Beech. This material is valuable because it is characterized by high strength, beautiful appearance, durability and resistance to mechanical damage. Beech furniture is expensive, but its quality and performance justify the price.

• Ash. Such wood is durable and reliable. However, this does not in any way affect its pliable and elastic structure. Ash furniture has a lot of weight and a very effective appearance that attracts a lot of attention.

• Oak. This type of wood is most often used in the manufacture of furniture. This popularity is due to the durability of the material and the rich selection of its shades. Designers claim that high-quality and natural oak furniture can transform the interior and create a unique atmosphere.

If you decide to purchase a high-quality natural wood bed, then you should take into account some of the nuances in order to choose the right model:

• Such furniture must have a strong and reliable frame, therefore, special attention should be paid to it. More stable and durable are products in which there are 4 side support panels with backs attached to them. As a rule, in such structures there is a wooden headboard, but the foot is not always there. The highest quality and most reliable base for wooden furniture are lintels and slats, on which the mattress will later be laid.
• The bed must match the color and the style for the interior in which it will be located.
• It is recommended to purchase such items from quality manufacturers with a good reputation. Don't trust prices that are too low. Real wood furniture will never be too cheap.

A solid wood double bed with a curved headboard will match the gray-brown wood paneling walls and the beige carpet floor. Two semicircular bedside tables with laconic white lamps should be placed next to the bed. Complete the interior with black and white paintings above the bed, white linens, fluffy caramel-colored floor rugs and light roman shades on the windows.

A chocolate bed can be placed in a room with white walls and light laminate flooring. The bed should be supplemented with chocolate bedside tables, a glass coffee table and large paintings with black frames above the headboard.

A bed with a carved footboard and headboard can be placed in a room with coral or pale pink walls. To the right and left of the berth, you should put a tall gray chest of drawers and a white dressing table. Finish off the interesting interior with colorful pillows and blue decorative details.

A light wood bed with a high headboard and footboard will blend in with the white walls, white ceiling and dark brown laminate flooring. Opposite it, a wooden chest of drawers and a white armchair will find their place. Round off the ensemble with a fluffy cream rug, light paintings above the bed and bedside tables.

First you need to stock up on parts for the side rails, the bottom of the bed and its back, legs, rack bottom supports, the rack bottom itself and screws for wood:

• First you need to make a frame (frame). To do this, the boards must be fastened together by screwing in the self-tapping screws from the inside at the correct angle.

• The edges should be hand plowed.

• The boards should be connected together with self-tapping screws and special construction glue. Finally, check the evenness of the frame with a square.

• Now the frame needs to be painted and varnished, after which you can start making supports for the slatted bottom. The bars must be attached to the frame only after the paint has dried.
• Self-made supports are placed in the right place and secured with self-tapping screws along the edges and in the center. Then the frame is turned over and a bar is pressed against it along the entire length with the help of clamps. After that, you can screw the screws into the remaining drilled holes. The remaining holes must be covered with wood putty and sanded after drying.
• Now you need to make the legs. To do this, you need a block of 10x10 cm and 10.5 cm long. You need to make 6 parts. They should be cut and sanded.

• The legs should be positioned 50 cm from each edge of the support beam.

• Legs and decor (if any) must be secured with self-tapping screws. Next, you need to cut out the slats. To do this, measure the bed. At the end, it is necessary to grind the parts and remove wood dust from their surface.

• Finally, install the bottom rails.To do this, you can use a pneumatic hammer and nails (screws). The slats should be evenly spaced.

On request, the bed can be supplemented with a lifting mechanism or drawers. For information on how to make a similar model with your own hands, see the next video.
