How to equip a sleeping place in the kitchen?

In small apartments, and even more so in one-room apartments, the question often arises: how to equip a sleeping place in the kitchen? And there are many options to address this issue. It all depends on the size of the kitchen itself and the ability to divide it into zones. But even in the smallest kitchen, you can equip a sleeping place so that it does not take up much space, but it will solve the problem when you need, for example, to accommodate guests.

You can organize a sleeping place from a wide variety of pieces of furniture, the main thing is that it fits into the main interior.

• The simplest and most budgetary option is a folding chair. In the daytime it will serve as a comfortable seat, and at night it will turn into a bed for a late guest. It is good for such an occasion to have a mattress for a comfortable sleep. It is better to place the chair so that it stands against the wall or near the window and does not interfere with anyone when unfolding. It is good if it will fit into the interior and match the color scheme with other decorative elements.

• When using a particular style, a kitchen bench may be located in the dining room. It can be made of wood or with a soft seat. In any case, this piece of furniture can also be used as a temporary sleeping place, provided that it will be necessary to place a mattress or a soft blanket there.

• An ordinary bench can also perform different functions. During the day, this is a comfortable seat while the family gathers around the table. In addition, most often such models are a storage capacity. If necessary, the bench easily turns into a very compact sleeping place, not too comfortable, but quite acceptable to spend one or two nights on it.

• A better choice would be an ottoman or sofa., which can be of a wide variety of models. The difference between them is that the ottoman, as a rule, does not have a back, or it can be replaced by beautiful pillows. The sofa has both a back and armrests, but the same height. Both can perfectly complement the kitchen design. And besides, they can comfortably accommodate a guest or even two. After all, many modern models are designed in such a way that they move apart. And if the space of the kitchen allows, then such furniture will decorate any room.

When equipping a bed, you need to focus not only on space, but also on the general style of the room. After all, each style also presupposes its own interior items, which in one look great, and in the other they are simply capable of killing the whole idea. So you should be guided by this too.

• When choosing a style loft a fold-out shelf with a soft leather surface may come up, which in one easy movement returns and becomes part of the wall. A leather sofa is also suitable, which can be located in a separate sitting area or simply in a special niche if the kitchen is not very large.
