A small one-room apartment, as is known, has small dimensions. For a family of several people, such living conditions are not always comfortable. To somehow solve the problem of the rationality of space, you can organize sleeping places more conveniently, that is, to establish your own or a child’s bed under the ceiling.

Thus, the place under the bed from below will be free. There is an opportunity to put a sofa, sofa or writing desk. A good option for storing things is a closet that will also be placed under the bed. But if there is no need to fill this space, then it can simply not be cluttered and left free.

Another option for literate placement under a bed is the arrangement of a small living room. Here you can install chairs with a table, hold lighting under the bottom surface of the bed or put a floor lamp. To give this space a cozy atmosphere, you can perform the decor of the walls with the help of fabric, flowing beautiful creases from the wall or the bottom of the bed. Then you will have an unusual cabin for rest.

When a bed under the ceiling becomes a necessity

A small apartment does not have enough space, so the residents have a problem of the optimal use of the available space. Agree, I want to have everything necessary for a full-fledged residence: a living room and a bedroom, as well as a place for work (personal office). The natural question arises: how to combine all this and create an organic space for recreation and entertainment?

Many tenants come out of the situation, buying an ordinary sofa, thanks to which the sleeping place can be decomposed and collected as needed. But a folding sofa does not replace a double bed with an orthopedic mattress, on which you can fully relax.

It would be possible to solve the problem of lack of living space, if the ceilings of high-rise buildings were built higher per meter. Then there would be two rooms in two tiers with staircases, as practiced in European houses – condominiums. But in our country, unfortunately, this arrangement is now just a dream …

The problem of lack of space for small apartments has long been of interest to designers. But so far no special shifts in this direction are foreseen, although there was one way out of this situation. This is a bed under the ceiling,BedUp, which can be lifted up and down with a slight movement of the hand, with almost no effort. There is also a comfortable loft bed for both adults and children. There is a ladder for climbing up to the place of rest.

Modern bed models under the ceiling

Interior designers increasingly began to pay attention to the development of new bed models, with which you can significantly increase the space of living quarters.

The bed under the ceiling is movable, thanks to the guide rails. At any time, on command, it rises or falls. All this design can be controlled with an electronic remote control by pressing one button.

In an apartment with sufficiently high ceilings, it is possible to establish a berth on rigid guides. Due to this, it is constantly on one fixed level and it is necessary to equip it with a ladder for lifting.

Such a ladder in the apartment can serve as a training device for sports as a “Swedish wall”. Even if you set it low, the ladder is suitable for simple stretching exercises and flexibility.

Types of beds

The design of a bed under the ceiling is of several varieties. Most of the residents are already accustomed to calling these beds an attic, because at the top you can not just relax, but also plan to plan a free living space.

A bed under the ceiling can be:

  • in two tiers;
  • a loft bed;
  • hanging bed;
  • a bed of French style.

Beds in two tiers are sleeping places located one above the other. Such variants of beds are sufficient for both adults and children. They can be wooden, plastic or metal.

Choosing the width of the bed, decide for whom the bed will be intended. For example, for a family option would be appropriate double bed at the bottom and a place for one person at the top of the bed. For convenient lifting in the side or in front, equip the ladder.

Bed-loft is suitable for one child or one adult, while it can be with something combined and multifunctional. The sleeper can be located above the floor, then under the bed you can put a table, sports equipment, a linen closet or set shelves for books.

As a result, you will get a corner for children in a small space. In such models of beds, the ladder can be removed or fixed permanently. This furniture is wooden, plastic or made of metal.

The French style bed under the ceiling is a great option for a small room of modern interior. Such a system is similar in its effect to an elevator, the hoisting mechanism of which is fixed to a wall or ceiling. This bed can also be raised and lowered. The French box is a good decoration element. In its lower part, it is desirable to set the backlight. When lifting a bed, the fixtures will serve as a decoration as part of the ceiling.

Hanging beds allow you to save space for a small apartment. Such systems are also attached to the wall or ceiling. In addition to them it will be convenient to have a retractable staircase, a rigid structure or a rope ladder. The design of the bed and its dimensions can be different. This is determined by the person for whom it is intended.

Some installation features

It should be noted that the bed under the ceiling is a specialized furniture, it is made according to special non-standard sketches.

Only specialists are engaged in the installation of this furniture. The type of fixing the bed under the ceiling is different:

If the apartment has high ceilings, then the bed is set on rigid guides, attaching to the wall or to the ceiling. Such a sleeping place will be immovable, and it is necessary to attach a ladder for lifting upward.

If you install the rails on the wall, the bed will rise and fall. For a double and a wide berth, the bed is fixed on both sides to ensure its construction is reliable and durable. Do not be afraid that something will happen when raising and lowering the bed: in order to avoid this, install the built-in counterweights, as well as mechanical or electrical systems that allow the plane of the bed to move after a single button press.

An inexpensive variant of the system of fastening a bed under the ceiling is its fixation not to the ceiling itself, but to high legs or as a complete fixed bed with a mattress. Typically, these beds are made of wood and such furniture perfectly complements the interior.

Bed for a child’s room

In the children’s room, a sleeper can be arranged as you wish – everything depends on your fantasies and preferences. You can, for example, purchase such models of beds, which already have a wardrobe and a built-in table.

Beds for children are made of different materials and painted in various colors. This gives an opportunity to choose: for example, a complex for adult furniture or another image that allocates children’s space. Make the sleeping area unusual with the help of colorful wallpaper and bright curtains, in harmony with the colors of the interior of the room. The adult zone can be made in a different color, but of the same texture or slightly different shade.

In order for children’s and adults to have boundaries, they can be divided by flooring. For example, pick up different rugs: one with patterns, and another with a children’s pattern or lay a carpet of different shades.
