Loft style metal beds

The industrial loft style appeared in America when production workshops were given over to living quarters, which became unnecessary for manufacturers in the midst of the economic crisis. The vacated areas began to be occupied by creative people rich in ideas, but did not have a lot of financial resources. In a large, spacious room, people equip their life, and one of the important details of such an interior is the bed.

The loft style has its own canons and features. The bed, like the entire interior, is not only a sleeping place, but also an element of decor. The industrial interior is characterized by special features.

• The room has a minimum number of partitions. The bed and work table can stand next to each other.
• The interior uses a minimum number of objects and things. Simplicity is present in everything, and a slight deliberate negligence emphasizes the charm.
• The design of the room allows any kind of bed. For this purpose, both a podium made of Euro pallets and a frame made of metal pipes can be chosen.
• When choosing materials for organizing a berth, natural elements of natural shades are used.
• The loft style does not imply hiding the design of the bed from prying eyes. On the contrary, it is most interesting to emphasize these materials in every possible way.

Loft-style metal beds can be either single up to 1 m wide or double up to 1.6 m wide.The sleeping place can be located in a niche, in the attic, right in the center of the room, on an impromptu podium, suspended under the ceiling space and etc.

Several options are considered the most popular bed models.

• Classic type models. These are models that have traditional shapes and legs. Such sleeping places look ordinary and comfortable.

• Bunk beds. This type is used to decorate a children's room, and is also used if it is necessary to save free space.

• Sofa bed. Most often it has a folding device and is used in premises that are small in area. A sofa bed can become an element of combining two zones - a kitchen and a bedroom.

• Bed on the platform. In this case, a frame is made on which the mattress is placed. To decorate the mattress, bedspreads made of fur, leather or textured textiles are used.

• Movable bed. This type of berth can be made with your own hands using furniture wheels.

• Hanging bed. In this case, the berth is suspended from the ceiling using brackets or metal chains.

• Bed with drawers. In addition to a berth, such an interior detail also combines the ability to store things.

The loft-style interior opens up unlimited scope for design ideas. The metal structures of the beds can become the center of the composition, decorating the room. The headboard of the bed also plays an important role, while it can be made of various materials.

• Wooden boards. This technique is used if the bed is made on the podium.

• Brick wall. You can emphasize the texture of the surrounding space by adding a decorative panel as a headboard that imitates brickwork.

• Wooden lath. Thin wood slats tightly spaced to each other are in perfect harmony with the general style of industrial design.

• Metal tubes. The aged look of metal will focus on itself, emphasizing the laconicism of the loft style.

• Bookshelf. Sometimes hinged bookshelves are used as the head of the bed. This technique is not only original, but also has functionality - books and small decorative items can be stored here.
