Features and benefits

Currently, the problem of lack of living space is more relevant than ever. The metric area of ​​most city apartments does not allow owners to “widely turn around” and arrange all the interior items so that the dwelling is not crowded and there is free space. To solve this difficult problem, you can use the appropriate furniture.

Fortunately, modern manufacturers are developing and producing very useful and multifunctional products designed for small rooms. Such demanded products include beds in niches.

The space in which the bed is deepened (as well as shelves, drawers and dressers) is called an alcove.

The most popular and practical are designs in which laundry boxes, shelves and pedestals are additionally present. Such options allow the owners of the apartment to refuse extra cabinets and drawers in an already compact bedroom. This design solution is ideal not only for adults but also for children's bedrooms.

Thus, you can create your own cozy corner for a small user. Many psychologists recommend providing children with such conditions so that they feel safe and always have personal space in the home.

Such furniture is relevant not only in a one-room apartment, but also in a fashionable studio. Today, these layouts, in which there are no overlaps, are very popular. Most often, these apartments have a small area, and many owners are faced with the problem of the location of all the necessary interior items in the existing space. A bed in a niche will not only occupy a minimum of free space, but also allow zoning of the sleeping area.

Designs

There are several options for the design of a sleeping area in a niche:

  • Bed with shelves. Such equipment is the most common and is very common. Owners of one-room apartments often turn to it. In this case, the entire niche is reserved for a separate, but compact bedroom. This design is a set of cabinet with shelves and a comfortable bed for sleeping. In the lower part under the bed in such modifications there are convenient drawers, and the walls are open or closed shelves. Such simple, but practical designs will look organically, not only in classical, but also in urban interiors.
  • If the niche length is not designed for the installation of shelves, then a soft bed is complemented only by linen drawers at the bottom. In some cases, to isolate the bed from the rest of the area, beds with beautiful canopies are placed in the niche. Such interior items look organically in classical and rococo, empire or baroque interiors.

To design a bed in a niche, you can use the following interior items:

  • Bed. This version is classic.For a competent and rational placement of bedding in such an area, it is recommended to install a bedside table and chest of drawers or choose a bed in the case of which linen boxes are provided.
  • Bed-podium. This option of placing bedroom furniture in a niche is new. Turning to this design, you significantly save space, and you get a very spacious place to sleep and rest. In addition, in this setting, you can use different design techniques. Often, the podium is used as a large storage system. Not only sleeping accessories can easily fit in it, but also clothes and shoes.
  • Canopy bed. An intimate and beautiful niche will turn out if you arrange elegant furniture decorated with a canopy in it. With this addition, you can close and separate not only the sleeping place, but also the niche as a whole. In such an environment, it will be comfortable not only for an adult user, but also for a child. You can also close a niche using curtains installed separately on the edges. They can be light or dense and have a different color design. Similar details should be selected in accordance with the style of the room.
  • Bunk bed. Such interior items are especially relevant if there are two children in the bedroom. For a two-tier model, you can also build a niche and arrange it beautifully. It can be left closed or supplemented with a light curtain.

A wall with a niche can be located not only in the bedroom, but also in the living room, hallway, in the kitchen or in the nursery.

Design

After you have selected the furniture for the niche, you should decide on the finishing of the resulting structure. Decorate such an unusual space in different ways:

  • If we are talking about a niche in the children's room, then you should take care that the bed has extra laundry boxes and storage systemsin which you can place not only linen and clothes, but also toys and books. The construction with a wall representing one large canvas for drawing will look original. Also for the niche in the children's bedroom, you can choose beautiful wallpapers with cartoon characters or animals. It is not recommended to buy too bright materials for decoration, as they will interfere with the rapid sleep of the child.
  • If a niche for a bed is located in a room in which the whole family gathers, then care should be taken design in the form of an alternative to the sofa. For example, you can combine a niche with a closet or rack so that it does not look like a sleeping area.
  • Much less common are the layouts in which narrow niche is located near the window. In this setting, there will always be excellent natural light that can serve as a natural alarm clock in the morning.
  • If in a niche there is not the whole bed, but only a part of it, then an artificial niche should be built. For this, instead of a wall, racks or constructions of drywall are installed, guides are nailed to the ceiling and curtains of a suitable shade are hung.
  • A niche can be supplemented with lighting devices.. It can be not only wall lamps and sconces, but also built-in spotlights. They can be installed in different places, thereby forming the most comfortable for you lighting of the sleeping area.
