A bed under the ceiling, which one will fit and how to install it securely

Interior designers are introducing more and more bold ideas to turn the home of a modern person into an oasis of coziness, comfort and harmony. On this path, stereotypes ruthlessly break, giving way to functional originality. The last fashionable novelty was a bed under the ceiling - a mechanized bed, changing position, like an elevator. This solution looks quite interesting, so a bedroom with such an object cannot be called boring. The non-standard bed can be entered both in the nursery and in the adult's room with a modern vision of the situation.

Luxury or necessity

The choice is in favor of a bed under the ceiling, the photo is proposed below, can be made both to save space, and to bring a "highlight" to the stylish interior. The first goal is usually pursued in a small room. When using a hanging bed due to lack of space, the following points should be considered:

The growth of tenants. The distance from the floor to the bed should be sufficient so that you can walk under it without bending. In order to be able to sit freely on the hanging bed, it is recommended to indent at least a meter for adults and about 80 cm for children;
Visual reduction of the room. Yes, a bed under the ceiling frees up the necessary square meters, but inevitably clutters up a small space. If this circumstance is not scary, you can safely install an unusual bed;
A bed under the ceiling can make a baby room full, because under it you can equip an office and a relaxation area. Thanks to her, in a room with dimensions of 2 by 2.5 m, it will be possible to work, engage in her favorite hobby and sleep. With skillful placement of furniture, the room will find a cozy chamber.

If the bed under the ceiling is a whim and is installed in a huge room as a decoration, then the following should be taken into account:

A huge non-standard bed is able to divide the space in two, to create the illusion of the second floor. It looks especially impressive in a spacious room with high ceilings;
The auxiliary lighting of the ceiling above the bed unloads the space. Lamps under a berth give it a certain mystery;
The metal elevator bed seems to be designed for bedrooms decorated in the style of a loft, techno or high-tech. Ceiling beds are also welcome in Japanese-style Art Nouveau rooms. Here, wooden structures with metal inserts are appropriate. For a classic and rustic style, you can install an attic bed, and hanging beds made of bamboo, wood or fabrics will fit into eco and ethno styles.

Modern models

A bed under the ceiling can be mobile (sliding along the guide rails) and immovable, fixed at a certain height. If the former operate by means of a mechanism of split counterweights and are controlled by a push-button control, then the latter requires a ladder for lifting.

By type of construction, such beds are divided into:

Two-tier;
Outboard;
"Attic";
French

Sleeping places in two tiers were especially widespread in children's rooms. For adults, there are elegant two-tier specimens with a solid staircase. They are good for classic interiors. They do not have a hint of a playful character inherent in children's beds.

Hanging beds have no legs and seem to soar above the ceiling. They give the room an atmosphere of airiness and lightness. To save it, you need to leave the space under it empty. If this is not possible, you can make this place decorative boxes for storing things or miniature furniture.

The attic bed often comes in conjunction with vertically located wardrobe-supports and built-in tables. This furniture complex can serve as a berth, a relaxation area, a dressing room and an office. The "attic" is usually not high (1.8 m) and can be placed even in the "Khrushchev".

For children under 6 years of age, the "attic" and the upper bed of the bunk bed are contraindicated. Going down the stairs attached to them can be traumatic.

If there are no sides at the berth or they are unreliable, then in a dream the child may fall from a height of two meters. In addition, it is difficult for parents to reach their child, which becomes a problem during his illness. The French bed is for couples. Ideally, it has a high headboard, carved elements and a canopy. Its ceiling version has a simplified appearance, but retains all its inherent charm and exquisite comfort. He keeps on the suspension mechanisms attached to the ceiling. The design can lower and rise to the stop.

Installation Features

Nothing should threaten a sleeping person, therefore, the most important requirement for a bed under the ceiling is its safety. She should be tightly attached to her supports. Therefore, to install a ceiling bed, it is recommended to contact highly qualified furniture makers.

There are several options for installing a bed:

Mounting on high legs is the easiest way. Two cupboards looking at each other can also act as a support. Such designs look very stylish. Both options require a firmly fixed, comfortable staircase;
According to the mezzanine principle - placing a berth between two opposite walls is appropriate in narrow rooms;
In the corner - at the same time the bed is attached to two walls and a ceiling, which ensures maximum reliability. It is better to mount a wide double seat in this way;
To the ceiling - metal anchors are introduced into it, and chains, ropes or steel cables are hung on them. So fasten the hanging bed. This type of installation is often combined, additionally attaching the bed to the wall.

Before attaching the bed to the ceiling or wall, it is necessary to check the concrete floors for strength. This can be done using an electronic device. The hammer in it presses the ball into the concrete. Electronics reads the quality of the material by bouncing the ball back. The results appear on the screen.

Staircase options

The staircase should be in harmony not only with the bed itself, but also with the interior of the room as a whole. The main classification divides bedside stairs into fixed and attached. The second, to be safe, must be stable and have a broad base. There are different types of staircases:

Vertical - this staircase is placed on the side of the bed or at the end. It is completely flat without any protrusions. Climbing and descending it, especially in the dark, can be traumatic. Between the flat and round steps, you should choose the first, since it is easy to slip on the round;
Marching - here are the steps of the board. They are attached to the construction bowstrings at an acute angle, parallel to the floor. The marching construction is suitable for kids, because it is almost impossible to stumble on it;
"Dresser" - in the flat steps of such a ladder there are drawers. They can be pushed forward or sideways. Staircase with lockers - a godsend for a small room;
"Shelving" - in this case, the steps are the protruding parts of the open shelves, which can be used by going from the side. To preserve the appearance of the edges of such a rack should be covered with polyvinyl chloride;
Podium - the structure is a staircase, the upper step of which is a platform. From it you can easily climb onto the bed. The podium can also be the lower stage of the structure;
Corner - different in that it forms a turn. It can be both radial and at an angle of 90 degrees. The smaller it is, the less area such a staircase occupies.

Is it possible to do in a one-room apartment

A bed under the ceiling is famous for its functionality, so it is advisable to have it in an apartment with one room. The following situations will be especially advantageous (in terms of additional area):

If the ceilings are high. The sleeping tier can be built above the dressing room or pantry, if you take care of the strength of its base. This mini-bedroom will look like an open room on the second floor with a staircase leading to it. To hide from view the place for sleeping, you can fence it with trellised wooden panels. They are not intrusive, breathable and aesthetically zoning space;
There are niches in the walls. Ideally, if the entire ceiling bed enters a vertical niche. But even if only the headboard enters there, it makes sense to use the recess, because there you can hide the base of the structure with guide rails. On them, the bed can go to the arch of the ceiling. Well, if there are partitions in it that can hide a bed, then in the daytime it will be invisible;
Two-level interior. In a one-room apartment, an artificially constructed floor is unlikely to be high, so you can arrange an "attic" bed on it. Much attention should be paid to the railing, protecting from falling in a dream, and the convenience of the stairs;
Square room. In a room where all sides are equal, a corner French bed will fit perfectly. It will clearly delimit space and provide an opportunity for comfortable housing for both one person and a married couple.

A bed under the ceiling can result in salvation or misunderstanding. It all depends on the taste and rationality of its owner. Before you get this whimsical furniture, you should think carefully and answer yourself the questions: "can you really do without a ceiling bed?", "Where to install it?", "Will it help save square meters?".
