Bunk beds with table

A bunk bed with a table is a kind of practical furniture that allows not only to save square meters of a room, but also to create a cozy functional place, designed in the same style. As a rule, such furniture is a structure consisting of working and sleeping places. Thanks to the racks on which the top is held, the design creates a kind of separate functional area, fenced off from the rest of the room, but complementing its interior. The working area can have built-in drawers, wardrobe or shelves.

The popularity of this model of furniture is increasing every day, and this is not surprising. However, there are some points that may affect the choice. It is worth considering the pros and cons of a bunk bed with a workplace on the lower tier.

The advantages include the fact that this design saves space and solves several problems at once. After all, this is a comfortable sleeping place, and an office, consisting not only of a desk, but also equipped with spacious drawers, a wardrobe, shelves for storing necessary things.

On the other hand, a high berth can be unsafe if you do not take care of the reliability of the structure. It should be borne in mind that the upper tier requires bumpers, and the design itself must be made of durable high-quality materials with reliable fastenings.

Another minus - night awakening of necessity. To go to the toilet you will have to overcome the descent from the second tier every time, and you need to think about how comfortable it will be.

If the upper tier of the bed is too high, then making the bed in the morning can be problematic even for parents, not to mention teaching the child to put the bed in order himself.

Types of bunk beds with a table may vary depending on the purpose and use. There are basic classic options that should be repelled when choosing:

• Working corner with a sleeping place at the top. It is a small office in the lower sector, where in different variations there may be a desk, as well as drawers for accessories or a wardrobe.

On the second tier are stairs, which are mounted on the sides, or steps-cabinets with drawers. The comfortable berth is protected by sides and located at the optimum height.

• A bunk bed with an armchair and a table downstairs. A comfortable roomy chair or a mini-sofa in the work area is one of the most popular options. The table in this case is set to the side or may be angular. The chair, as a rule, is equipped with a spacious laundry box, and if necessary it folds into an extra bed.

• Bunk transforming bed. In this model, the lower tier is equipped with a lifting-folding element that allows you to convert the desktop into a sleeping place.The modern device is created in such a way that the table does not turn over, as when unfolded in a train car, but moves down under a berth in a horizontal position. The convenience of the design lies in the fact that it is not necessary to rearrange objects from the table, and in the morning you just need to return the structure to its original position.

• Quite small household members will like cots with thematic design and a play area on the lower tier. There may be built-in nightstands for toys, a table for drawing and sculpting, a small cabinet for the baby’s wardrobe. The height of the bed is adjustable, the lifting equipment varies in types and types: ladders, slides, ropes. Design and colors offered on the market are very diverse - fabulous castles, houses, carriages, airplanes.

• For children of middle or high school age is preferable to larger models., with a spacious working area and furniture elements.As a rule, bunk beds for teens and adults are made of more durable metal or wooden bearing elements. They have a computer desk and are distinguished by their sustained concise design.

When choosing a bunk bed with a table for younger family members, you should pay attention to the fact that the model meets the safety requirements and does not harm the health of the child. Among these requirements, we can single out the strength of materials of construction, the reliability of fasteners and lifting elements (stairs, steps).

The height of the bed should be fixed at such a level that in the working area the child can move freely to his full height.

A very important point is the choice of place to install the bed with a table relative to the incident light. If the table is located directly below the top tier and turned to the wall, then you should take care of sufficient lamp lighting or choose models with built-in lighting.

If the room already has a sufficient amount of furniture, then the perfect option with a table top in the lower tier, the entire length of the bed.This model, which is not overloaded with furniture elements, will look very easy, it will complement any interior with its simplicity and minimalism. When you select it, you can limit only the color gamut.

When buying, consider the layout of the room, existing interior items and the overall color scheme. For the darkened north side more suitable metal structures with subtle details that will not hide the already insufficient daylight and clutter the space.

If you choose a double bed with a table for a teenager, then it is best to look at several options, and the final decision should be made with him. Teens are jealous of the attributes of personal space, so you should take into account their taste, even if in your opinion it does not match your ideas about comfort and decor.

However, such a problem may not arise at all, because most of these models have a neutral design (with an extensive color range).

For lovers of individuality, there are pronounced options "for boys."As a rule, they are equipped with all sorts of sporting elements. Girls will like models with a lot of drawers, a wardrobe, a place under a mirror, shelves for figurines and flowers.

The range for the smallest is especially wide in the market of bunk beds. Cots with playing space on the lower tier can be made in the form of a fairytale castle, a royal carriage, a pirate ship or a modern car.

There are drawing tables, toy boxes for kids, slides and bars, ropes and other sports products for active kids.

Build furniture with their own hands - not a very difficult task for the masters of their craft. If you own certain skills and know what you want to get in the end, then you will not be very difficult to make calculations and pick up materials. This option will be much cheaper, and you will be confident in the strength and reliability of the product.

The sequence of steps, a detailed plan will help to translate your project first on paper and then in life. First, you need to decide on the location of the furniture, because the bunk bed with a table, though it saves space, is a rather dimensional structure.

Initially, think over where the furniture will stand, how the light will fall on the desktop, from which side the stairs or steps on the second tier will be located.

Another important question that needs to be solved in advance is the height of the bunk bed with a table. The overall usability of both tiers depends on this. For an upper berth, height matters: the higher it is, the less air goes to the sleeping person.

For the lower tier, freedom of movement under the “attic” is important so that even an adult does not have to bend when sitting at a table. In the calculations they are repelled from the height of the ceiling of the room, in the drawings take into account the thickness of building materials, the size of the mattress.

The materials offered on the market will save you from having to process the tree manually. If you plan to make a tree bed yourself, then remember that any furniture needs to be leveled, polished and painted. For the preparation of wood, you will need to go to a special workshop or (which will be more profitable and cheaper) buy ready-made materials in construction stores.

From the tools to create a model of a bunk bed with a table, you will need the usual carpenter set: a saw or a handsaw, a drill, a screwdriver, a set of fasteners, a level and a tape measure.

By choosing bunk beds with a table along with the children, you make an excellent investment in the interior of your house and bring into the family an element of play and comfort.
