High double beds

For owners of small apartments with small rooms, a high bed can be a good solution to the problem of increasing the functionality of indoor space. So, free space under your bed can take over the function of a dresser or a small closet for clothes. But at the same time, even in the smallest bedroom, it is necessary to create all the conditions for a normal and healthy sleep and not to turn the free space under the bed into a warehouse of unnecessary things.

Advantages and disadvantages

Modern manufacturers of high double beds offer a variety of models with lifting mechanisms, drawers and other technical developments that will wisely use the free space under the bed. For example, models supplemented with laundry drawers are very convenient for rooms in which there is not enough free space to accommodate a high-grade closet.

But choosing such a model for your bedroom, you need to calculate the possibility of easy access to the opened drawers, if your room is quite small, then this option is not suitable for you.

In a very small bedroom, beds with modern lifting mechanisms will fit much better. You can place such a double bed even near the wall itself, and its lifting mechanism, equipped with gas shock absorbers, will allow you to easily cope with the transformation and fixation of the bed in any position, without constraining your movements even in a small room.

For those who appreciate the style and design of the room it is necessary to remember that a high double bed in a small room will look too cumbersome, and, accordingly, will become the center of attention.

Models

Almost all models of double beds have such an indispensable element as a headboard. Scientists have concluded that it is on the beds with the back, the sleeper feels most protected and has a stronger and healthier sleep. Often, the overall design of this piece of furniture depends on the shape of the headboard.

In our time, the most common and practical is the rectangular headboard. As a rule, such an element of design fits easily into the interior of almost any style. Models with wrought-iron headboards also look very stylish in the interior of the bedroom, but they are not too comfortable for those who like to read for an hour or two for a dream to come. It is better for such people to choose for themselves luxurious models with soft upholstery.

If you prefer for yourself something more extravagant or trendy, then you need to choose based on the size and design of the room. For example, a round bed, and simply a model with a round headboard is absolutely not recommended to be installed in a small room.

In order for you to feel comfortable and sleep, the diameter of the round bed must be at least two and a half meters.And such a rather big size requires a spacious room and appropriate furnishings in the interior.

In addition, such an extravagant piece of furniture requires a certain furnishing of the entire room; interior items with smooth and rounded shapes will be appropriate here.

If, on the contrary, you need to save space in the room, you can choose the option of a bed with a headboard, in which small shelves or light sources are embedded.

One of the chic options for a spacious bedroom could be the purchase of a classic bed with drawers made of natural wood in American style. These models differ in a special design in which the boxes for linen, located under the bed, perfectly fit into the interior of the bedroom, decorated in a classic style.

Selection features
