Bunk beds with drawers

The bunk bed is a real discovery for most families. Such furniture is perfect for children of all ages (from preschool to adolescent) and, of course, adults.

The popularity of bunk beds is due to their unusual design and special practicality. The advantages of such models can be safely called:

• Price. Even a small budget will be acceptable for buying such furniture, so anyone can afford loft beds. Although the price range varies greatly depending on certain indicators;
• A variety of sleeping places. The bed can have one sleeping area, two or more;
• The presence of a play area. The second tier can still be used as a play tier, if the design suggests it;
• Storage space. Drawers are additionally designed for storing things (bed linen or toys);
• Saving space. Due to their small size, the beds occupy a small area, leaving most of the usable area free;
• Multifunctionality. A sleeping place can be safely combined with a working area, where a table, chair and shelves will be located, or with a wardrobe;
• Variety of materials. Natural or metallic. The choice depends on the preferences of the owner;
• Appearance. Absolutely any theme can be embodied in design.

Possible disadvantages include:

• Age restrictions. For too young children, such beds will not work;
• The risk of injury. If you neglect the rules of behavior in such structures, you can get injured;
• Lack of mobility. The solid weight is unlikely to allow you to move such a bed in the room;
• Peculiar conditions for changing bed linen. To fill the sheet - you have to get used to it, you can handle the pillowcase and duvet cover outside the second tier;
• Low ceilings. Owners of those will not be very comfortable using such a bed.

When choosing, it is worth considering important points:

• Security. The bed must have a solid structure. All elements must be able to withstand the proper load. It is desirable that the furniture be fixed to the wall. If it is a sleeping place for a child, then you need to take care of the height of the sides, they should be at least 35 cm from the top point of the mattress. You can also install removable restraints that will not allow the child to fall from a height. It should be noted that the structure should not have sharp corners;
• Materials (edit)... They must be reliable, impervious to sunlight, undoubtedly, the product must be environmentally friendly. Simple care also plays an important role;
• Height... The owner of the upper tier should feel comfortable not only in the prone position, but also in the sitting position. Agree, propping up the ceiling with the crown of your head is a rather dubious undertaking;
• Transformation. If the bed is purchased for a child, then this nuance of the mechanism will be very useful. As he grows up, the sleeping place will also be adapted to his needs.

The choice of samples is extremely diverse, consider the most common types:

• 2 bunk beds with two berths. In such models, sleeping areas are located one above the other or slightly offset. The first floor can be either a bed or a sofa.

• With ladder... Suitable for teenagers and adults. The ladder can be located strictly perpendicular to the floor, or it can be at a slight slope.In the first case, the staircase will not take up space, in the second, it will be a little more convenient, despite the occupied area, which will be minimal.

• With steps... For young children, the most preferred option. Since the steps are durable and comfortable, the advantages of the steps include the ability to make built-in boxes for storing small things in them. It will be convenient for a child to go down the steps, sleepily; an excellent addition to safety can be attributed to the installation of handrails or handrails.

• With storage boxes. A definite plus that will be appropriate in all style decisions. There can be several boxes. They can be used to store bed linen, everyday items, personal items. A bed with three drawers is the most comfortable and functional.

• With shelves... They can be located on the first tier, attaching to the wall, and on the upper tier, however, the shelves of the second floor will be small in order not to hide the already limited space.

• With wardrobe... The size of the cabinet should be selected based on the size of the room.

• Single bed, loft bed or single tier... If you just need to free up space in the room, lifting the bed up will be the right decision.

Each room will have its own parameters for a bunk bed with drawers. The key point will be the form and the presence of accompanying elements. The bed should not support the ceiling.

The height of the bed is determined as follows - a person in a sitting position should have at least 20-30 cm free space above his head. If the model is chosen by a child, then 150-180 cm of length will be sufficient. For an adult, the length indicator will be 180-210 cm.The width of the berth on the second tier can vary from 60 to 160 cm.

The sleeping place on the first floor can differ significantly from the second. If the first tier is intended for a child, then the standard sizes will be:

• From 0 to 3 years old, a sleeping place of 120x60 cm will be enough;
• From 3 to 5 years old, the sizes differ slightly 140x70 cm, 160x70 cm, 190x80 cm;
• For middle-aged schoolchildren, the dimensions of the sleeping areas are 190x80 cm, 200x90 cm. These parameters also correspond to adult single beds;
• For a married couple, the standard size corresponds to 200x140 cm. You can make a berth according to individual parameters.

The practicality and popularity of bunk beds are important factors when choosing. We already know how to decide on a model, taking into account all its characteristics. Both the appearance and belonging to the general style of the room play an important role. The design features of the room require an appropriate type of bed. Let's analyze the style directions of the rooms and suitable furniture options:

• Classic... In this view, the entire furniture group occupies a minimum area. The unusual structure made of wood makes it possible to imagine that there is also a bedroom in the room, which can be entered via wide steps, into which drawers for useful trifles are built. Thanks to the light shades, the headset seems to take up almost no space, leaving the center of the room free. There is a work area with a play area under the bed.

• Modern... Balanced and solid style for a child's room. The dark wood color successfully emphasizes the shape of the bed, bringing a special mood. Drawers in this model are located on the side of the steps. Railings in the form of screens are provided.

• Loft... The metal structure with its characteristic brickwork and minimal set of accessories perfectly recreates the industrial style. Cold tones of gray are diluted by a bright scarlet rug, giving dynamics to the interior. Ladders are very convenient when two children live in the room.

• Provence... Calm light tones refresh the children's bedroom, curly balusters and carved legs bring the bed to a rustic style.The lamp and textiles look organic. Cleaning the floors under this model is quite simple, which is a plus.

• High tech. Contemporary style with the latest developments. The furniture group has three berths, while the occupied area is minimized. The set includes a wardrobe that merges with the interior of the room, storage boxes that are located under the bed and shelves for books and souvenirs. The color scheme is muted, perfect for relaxation.

• Eco style... Natural materials and naturalness emphasize the depth of the style. Non-flashy shades with the decoration of plants will create coziness and a kind of unity with nature. There is a play area under the loft bed, complete with a drawing board. The sides are absent in this model, which indicates a rather adult age of the owner of this bed.

• Marine theme... The fresh breeze of the sea coast, loved by many, will bring peace and tranquility to the room, and at the same time will not let the young captain get bored. The design with drawers and an inclined ladder will allow a child's imagination to roam and imagine himself on the ship of a ship. The interior is wonderfully complemented by textiles and toys.

• Room for the princess. The very tenderness settled in a room with such an interior. Any girl will certainly feel like a wonderful little lady. The pull-out bed on casters will be comfortable and easy to use. Drawers and a shelf for things will allow you to hide your jewelry and various little things.

• Superhero room. Every boy wants to save the whole world and feel like an extraordinary person. The style of a room with suitable conditions is not difficult to create. A bed with sides of neutral tones, bright accents on linen and a bungee will make your heroes real supermen.

• A room for several children. Fitting three or more children in one room, without violating the personal space of each of them, is not a difficult task.

• Bedroom for a teenager... The unusual design of a bunk bed, suspended by chains from the ceiling, plunges into light rebellion and mesmerizes with its geometry.

• And also several options for beds for adults.
