Beds with drawers

Large, comfortable and roomy bedroom, the area of ​​which allows you to place a sufficient number of pieces of furniture - the dream of many people. But unfortunately, not everyone has this opportunity. The space of some bedrooms is not as large as we would like, so you have to not only save almost every centimeter, but also increase the area in many different ways. One of these ways is to install a bed with drawers for linen.

Benefits

The key to a comfortable stay in the bedroom is, of course, a bed. But, apart from its direct destination, a bed equipped with drawers for storing linen has more functions than just a sleeping bed. The presence of such storage systems as drawers gives this piece of furniture a number of undeniable advantages.

The most significant advantage of this piece of furniture is the solution to the problem of storing a variety of things. There is enough space in the drawers, not only for bedding, but also for seasonal clothes, shoes and even books. Especially this option will appeal to owners of small bedrooms. After all, very often there is no opportunity to install a dresser or cupboard in a small area. Therefore beds with boxes for linen for such tiny bedrooms sometimes are the optimal solution.

But also for a room with a decent bed area with such a convenient storage system will be completely superfluous even with a cabinet and other storage systems. There will always be things that you do not want to take away far, and the boxes located under the bed are always available. Thanks to the close-to-the-floor construction, the bed in the bedroom will always maintain order. It is rather problematic to lose things under it, and excessive dust accumulation under such a construction is impossible.

Having a bed with such comfortable and roomy drawers allows you to refuse to purchase additional items of furniture.And this is a significant cash savings for the family budget. In addition, the bedroom, not overloaded with unnecessary, sometimes very large furniture, looks much more spacious and free, it is easy to breathe in it, and it is much easier and safer to move around. Another argument in favor of such beds can be called a clever disguise boxes. They fit so organically into the bed design that it is sometimes very difficult to determine their presence.

Constructions and types of storage systems

The storage system consisting of boxes varies in design, number of drawers and in the way they are transformed.

The design endowed with drawers has various transformation mechanisms:

  • The most common system is equipped rubberized wheels that are attached to the bottom of the box. It is very convenient to use laundry drawers on wheels, their extension does not require special efforts, and, moreover, if the material of which the wheels are made of high quality, then such a system will serve for quite a long time.
  • In addition to the wheels boxes can move forward and slide along the guides. Such a system also has wheels, but they are small in diameter and move exclusively along special skids. Roller guides consist of two parts: one part is attached to the box, and the other to the bed frame. Thanks to the guides, the boxes move smoothly and are not shifted to the sides.
  • The storage system may consist of one compartment, as a rule, large size and without guides and wheels. Models with one compartment are equipped with a lifting mechanism. Thanks to him, the bed rises, opening access to the box located below.

Boxes, regardless of the number, occupy the entire space under the bed without gaps and voids. Their number and location may be different. Most often storage boxes are located below:

  • Models with two drawers are found with a different arrangement of storage boxes.. When placed on one side, both boxes are moved to one side, and each has a length equal to the width of the bed, and the width in this arrangement is half the length of the bed. If the boxes are located on different sides, then the width of each one practically corresponds to the length of the bed, and the length is half the width of the bed.Nomination with this arrangement occurs in different directions.
  • Models with 3 drawers also have a different arrangement, and their size depends not only on the dimensions of the bed, but also on their number. The more boxes, the smaller the size of each of them. In such models it is possible to place not only in the lateral parts of the bed, but also in the front.
  • The model with 8 boxes allows not only to decompose a large number of things, but also to distribute them, pre-sorted. As a rule, in such a model the bed is very high, and the storage box is set in two rows. Such an arrangement makes it possible to increase the effective storage area almost doubled.
  • In addition to the boxes, there is another storage system. It is located at the head. To access things you need to fold the panel.
