Modern double beds, selection criteria taking into account the design of the room

The bed has long ceased to be just a piece of furniture. A variety of stylistic solutions for the interior, a lot of materials make modern double beds an important element in the design of rooms. Naturally, not at the expense of comfort.

Features of modern models

Today, the choice of furniture for sleeping is determined not only by its size. Manufacturers offer such a wide range that you can choose an interesting option for any buyer. Distinctive features of modern beds:

design complexity - solutions for small spaces are especially interesting. A transforming bed creates a cozy guest area in the daytime and a comfortable sleeping place for a night's rest;
original design - not only traditional materials are used in furniture decoration. Plastic or glass inserts, leather or textile headboards turn furniture into a work of art. The bed becomes a real decoration of the interior.

The dimensions of the furniture allow you to choose a product for people of different complexions. The traditional parameters of a double bed are 180x200 cm. However, for lovers of space, manufacturers offer large-scale designs of 200x220 cm.

Which materials to prefer

Furniture legs, headboard and frame can be made of various materials. The choice is determined by the preference of the buyer. Some materials guarantee structural stability, while others create an interesting decor and attractive appearance.

Solid wood

Wood has long been used to create furniture for sleeping. And today, wooden models remain the most popular. First of all, because it is easy to purchase furniture of different cost. Beds made of solid pine or birch have a reasonable price and are most often used to create furniture of classical shapes. Elite furniture is created from exotic species of wood (teak, wenge) or more expensive local wood (oak, cherry, walnut).

Designers love wood, because it is easy to create decorative elements from it. Elegantly decorated furniture with carved legs or headboard, overlay decor. The beds are unique, so experts recommend that you buy a furniture set for classic interiors. Otherwise, it’s difficult to separately obtain the appropriate elements of the situation. Such kits are expensive and, as a rule, are acquired for a long time.

Artificially aged wood has become very popular, which originally looks in the interiors of a rustic style (Provence, country). A more traditional furniture finish (varnishing, polishing, tinting) looks organically in different interiors.

Metal

When choosing products, it is necessary to consider not only the type of alloy, but also the method of its processing. For the production of furniture, steel and aluminum are used. The difference between the products is felt immediately - the steel bed is quite heavy, it is difficult to budge. Naturally, handmade forged frames are very much appreciated and cannot be cheap. These beds can become a real work of art. Aluminum models are incomparably lighter, but they are also not cheap.

Modern double beds paint, chrome, nickel. Therefore, it will not be difficult to choose a product for any interior. A chromed or nickel-plated bed is perfect for a high-tech loft bedroom. And white beds or products painted in pastel shades (pale green, light blue, sand) will comfortably decorate the rooms in a rustic style. Lovers of custom solutions will appreciate frameworks covered in leather, textiles or even with pressed veneers. Fans of antiquity will like elite models with imitation of antique openwork forging, trimmed in bronze or patinated.

The main advantage of metal double beds is reliability and the ability to support any weight. High-quality designs can serve without repair for about 30 years. Moreover, massive modern products do not look rude and are perfectly combined with other elements of the environment.

Wood boards

Manufacturers are increasingly using chipboard, MDF for furniture. And this is not surprising. Modern materials allow you to create lightweight products at affordable prices, a wide variety of designs and equipment. It is easy to pick up a bed with wood finishes of different species.

High-quality laminated coating - a film impregnated with synthetic resin and protecting the surface. The decorative protective layer is painted in various colors or tinted under all kinds of wood. The most popular are beech, walnut, mahogany, mahogany. Glossy gloss and unnaturally bright tones give out the artificiality of the coating.

Veneered furniture belongs to the elite models, as the veneer is a thin sheet material obtained from natural wood. For facing use both unpainted material and tinted. It looks and feels irregular textured decor. The main disadvantage of the coating is its instability to mechanical damage.

Due to the low prices, furniture made of chipboard and MDF will be an excellent choice for lovers of experiments. If residents like to frequently update the atmosphere, change the style of the room, such furniture is ideal.

Options for double models

Beds according to designs and shapes can be divided into standard (rectangular) and non-standard (round, oval, square, podiums).

Round

This option is appropriate to choose for a spacious room. Since the model takes up space one and a half times more than the traditional rectangular. It is most beneficial to look after round beds for studio apartments. Round lines give the room comfort and a sense of security. There are interesting options for sleeping furniture without a headboard - rearrangements are not required to change the "direction of sleep".

This form of furniture can be considered universal - double beds in a modern style look equally interesting in the interiors of a loft, minimalism and baroque. When buying a product, it is important to distinguish between the size of the berth and the general parameters of the model. So, a round bed with a diameter of 210 cm creates a berth of 160x200 cm in size. And at the same time, it is necessary to provide another 0.7 cm of free space around the bed for free movement.

Rectangular

These products remain the most sought after. The bed harmoniously fits into any interior. Even for a small room, you can find a model on which the couple will rest comfortably. When choosing a bed, not only the area of the room is taken into account, but also the dimensions of the owners and their "sleepy" habits. Experts recommend taking into account the growth and volume of people and add 20-30 cm in reserve.

For a rectangular bed, it is easy to choose a place in the room. In the spacious bedrooms, the bed is placed in the center, the headboard to the wall. This makes it possible to freely go around furniture from different sides. In narrow rooms, it is advisable to put a rectangular bed across the room, moving it from the center. At the same time, the room will have enough space for arranging the working corner or installing a small built-in cabinet.

In one-room apartments, you have to combine several zones in the room. Therefore, the bed is put away from the entrance. You can separate the sleeping area visually - by wall decoration, colors or lighting. An excellent solution would be a small partition, a rack.

Podiums and Headboards

This is the element of the bed that is easy to experiment with. Designers use wood, metal, leather, textiles, wickerwork to decorate the headboard. Sometimes this element combines different materials. There are headboards with glass and plastic inserts.

There are no clear recommendations for selection - this is already a matter of taste, the style of the interior. Models without a headboard - flush against the wall - have become a fashionable trend. This bed design is more suitable for bedrooms decorated in modern styles.

Double products are suitable for couples who prefer to lie on the bed, read books, watch TV or have a cup of coffee. It’s convenient to put cups or put gadgets on the podium. Models can have a different design, height, equipment. The most primitive option is a mattress laid on a frame without legs, 10-20 cm high. More complex designs are equipped with special internal storage systems, drawers.

Such beds can not be unambiguously considered only decoration of the interior or a practical solution to the sleeping area. Since expensive luxury beds with leather upholstery will definitely become a spectacular bright design element. A correctly installed bed can visually make a narrow room wider and mask drawers for storing clothes and bedding.

Canopy

This is an essential attribute of the royal style chambers. As a rule, the canopy today does not bear any special functional significance. This textile element collects dust rather than protects the bed from drafts. Therefore, designers offer models with canopy racks. To prevent the racks from looking alien, furniture is decorated with the finest curtains made of translucent materials (chiffon, silk). In general, the canopy is used to create a romantic atmosphere in the room.

Equipment

The original design of the head of the bed becomes a favorite technique for furniture designers. The design solution became very popular when the headboard is a small storage system. They make a fairly deep headboard across the width of the bed and are perfectly used for storing pillows, blankets, rugs. The use of hinged bedside tables, which are attached to a wide headboard on the sides of the bed, has become a fashionable trend.

An excellent solution is the installation of built-in lighting at the head. When mounting an LED strip, an original illumination is obtained not only of the berth, but of the whole room.

The traditional solution to storage systems is furniture with a lifting mechanism. Inside the bed there is enough space for various things. Experts recommend choosing beds with gas mechanisms that can withstand a load of 80-100 kg. This is especially important when raising the base of a large double bed.

Leg height adjustment. This option will allow you not to pay attention to the height of the mattress. For those who like to sleep “higher” or “lower” - just place the support grid at a certain desired height.

Design novelties and ideas

Transformer beds are becoming increasingly popular. Such furniture is especially in demand in small apartments, since it simultaneously creates the atmosphere for different zones. In the lowered position - this is a full berth. And in the raised state on a comfortable sofa it is pleasant to receive guests or just watch TV. Some models are equipped with side open shelves and become original interior decorations.

However, the designer's imagination did not stop at such a design and non-standard ideas are increasingly becoming in demand:

sleeping systems are attracting increasing interest. This is furniture that allows not only comfortable sleeping, but also comfortable to read if you slightly raise the upper part of the bed. Moreover, the halves of the double bed are controlled independently of each other - one person can sit half-sitting, and the other is comfortable lying down and sleeping soundly;
the round transforming bed looks originally, which is moved apart in two semicircular sofas with backs (the head of the bed). Furniture conversion requires a minimum of effort;
at the rocking bed, a swinging frame is used as the frame. Soft soothing movements contribute to a quick and comfortable falling asleep. If you want to fix the sleeping bed, then use special frames - lining.

In a dream, a person spends a third of his life. Therefore, it is no secret that a high-quality and comfortable bed makes the dream a full-fledged one and contributes to a comfortable rest.
