The truth is, your bed robs you of your hobbies, sports, and socializing. Because it steals the precious space of your little apartment. Enough! Today you will understand where to find a corner in your apartment for practicing yoga at home, where to put an easel and a piano, and invite guests, finally not being embarrassed by your cramped room. Today you will think about a bed that takes up almost no space.
What to sleep on in a one-room apartment
While someone calls the existence and popularity of small-sized apartments ridiculous, many people in our country continue to live in small-sized apartments. And there are still whole families who live on 9-12 residential squares in dorm rooms, "living rooms" and "sections".
Meanwhile, many young people deliberately do not spend money on comfortable real estate, preferring, for example, to travel more. Small cars will be popular for a long time, but this does not mean that we do not want to live in beautiful interiors.
Design sites tirelessly repeat the "commandments" of small spaces: you need proper planning, multifunctional and folding furniture, finely selected colors and an abundance of mirrored surfaces …
But no matter how small the apartment is, everyone wants to sleep on a full wide bed. Everybody hates pull-out sofa beds! Because, let's be honest, once we spread the bed on them, we never fold them.
So clumsy beds occupy almost a third of the living space. Up to 4 square meters, by the way. It's time to do something.
Add +4 sq. m. to your small apartment
And you just need to change your views on the sleeping place.
In fact, the area of this apartment is only 24 meters (including the kitchen and bathroom).
1. Loft bed
The simplest and most obvious solution is to lift the bed up. When the bed is above eye level, it is as if not visible. But at the bottom you can place a full-fledged workplace or a comfortable sofa.
Just imagine how much space appears in the bedroom when the bed goes under the ceiling. But before, there was only a bed, a couple of bedside tables and a wardrobe. Add curtains and a reading lamp - and now there is a new space for a small, cozy bedroom.
But it is not at all necessary to put the bed on long legs: for example, 2 wardrobes are suitable as a support. If it were not for the bed under the turquoise ceiling, it would be impossible to fit a workplace, a sofa for guests, a huge mirror and even a wardrobe in this 10-meter communal room.
2. Hanging bed
The bed, which is attached to the ceiling and walls, seems even more airy.
3. The bed goes to the ceiling
Some models are equipped with lifting mechanisms, so during the day you will not even notice that there is a bed in the room.
4. Bed - second tier
Further more. The bed moves into separate functional areas, thereby creating a second tier in the apartment.
The owner of this apartment had a very small budget and was forced to buy a tiny apartment. To save space, the bed was placed on the wardrobe, and in order to save money, the wardrobe has not even been closed with doors yet - the girl will be able to finish the repair later, when she has saved up money.
And in this apartment, they created a whole room in a room: the second floor is a bedroom, and the first floor has a working corner, a dining area, a lot of storage systems and even a folding bed for guests.
Here, the bed is located on a deep closet, and a kitchen block was attached here to the side.
The designers of this small studio apartment took advantage of the ceiling height and built a bedroom on the bathroom. Despite the modest dimensions for an isolated apartment (24 sq. M.), The room seems huge and light, which could never have been achieved by placing a bed, a sofa, many wardrobes, a workplace and a kitchen traditionally along the walls.
five. Low ceiling is not a problem
The owners of rooms with high ceilings are lucky - but what if they are low? The same thing: place storage systems under the bed.
And in this little apartment there was even a refrigerator under the bed!
6. Wardrobe bed
What if you hide the bed in the closet? To buy such a model has not been a problem for a long time. By the way, the area of this apartment is only 6 meters! Hidden behind green doors is a wardrobe and a small but much needed shower.
Another version of the bed, pretending to be a wall, was chosen for the micro-apartment of a girl student. The sleeper folds back like the top bunk on a train. A work table is hidden in the closet, and a table and poufs under the sofa.
7. Bed under the podium
Yes, the minus of the bed-wardrobe is that you need to fasten the bed with elastic bands so that it does not roll in the folded position of the bed. But if you hide the bed in the podium, you don't even have to make the bed.
The area of this full-fledged apartment is 15 square meters. If it hadn't been for the bed dropping into the podium under the kitchen, it would have been impossible to turn around at all. The bed can also serve as a sofa if it is pulled out halfway.
And this apartment for a young girl fits into 12 squares!
