Bed in the living room: types, shapes and sizes, design ideas, location options

Types of beds in the hall

Modern designers offer both standard and rather unusual beds for the living room.

Podium bed

To save space in a small room, a podium-like design is perfect. It combines a mattress and a frame with drawers, which play the role of a wardrobe: bedding or clothes are removed inside.

Sofa bed

This solution is chosen by the owners of small apartments, for example, Khrushchev houses. The advantage of a sofa bed is that it folds easily and turns into a full-fledged place for receiving guests: all that remains is to choose a comfortable coffee table that can be easily moved around the room.

Convertible bed

This is the case when you don't have to choose between functionality and fashionable design. The lifting mechanism will allow you to easily hide the bed in the built-in niche and save up to 80% of space. If the interior is designed in the style of minimalism, then the furniture hidden in the daytime is a good solution.

Bunk

Ergonomic bunk furniture is usually purchased by families with children, but its use in the living room is also justified. Due to the second "floor" the number of sleeping places is doubled or even tripled.

Cot

The layout of the living room, combined with the nursery, has a number of features:

• you cannot put a crib at the entrance - sounds will penetrate the door and interfere with sleep;
• it is better to make a recreation area, and not a children's corner - it is preferable to place it by the window;
• the bed must be separated by a canopy or partition so that the child has a personal space, especially when it comes to a teenager.

In the photo, blackout curtains separate the children's corner from the recreation area.

Loft bed

If the height of the ceiling in the apartment allows, an extraordinary solution for combining a living room and a bedroom will be a loft bed. This arrangement will delight creative people, giving new sensations, and free up precious meters under the berth.

"in the attic" and in the cozy sitting area downstairs.

Armchair-bed

The multifunctional chair transforms into a single bed in one movement, and when assembled does not steal extra space. Some models have a storage box.

Built-in

This sleeping place is the perfect find for those who want to hide their bed in a closet equipped with storage shelves.

Shapes and sizes of beds in the interior of the room

Today the market offers a rich selection of sleeping furniture. It varies in shape and size, for example:

• Round.
• Large double bed.
• Mini bed.
• Semicircular.
• Rectangular.
• Square.

In the photo there is a round sofa bed.

What size to choose for sleeping furniture depends on the size of the apartment.

How to put the bed in the living room?

Glass or plasterboard partitions will help to competently divide the room into zones. There are also simpler options - in a small living room, you can fence off the space with a rack or wardrobe, or hide furniture for sleeping behind a screen. If you use a bed instead of a sofa in the living room, it will not differ much from an ordinary bedroom: in this case, additional armchairs or chairs are needed for visitors.

In the photo there is a snow-white living room, where the private area is separated by a low partition.

You can visually zone a room using different wall finishes. Combined options look curious when cabinet furniture (or a partition) is placed in the center of the living room and in addition a curtain is hung.

Living room design ideas

The living room can be called the main room in the house. Family members spend a lot of time here, so its design must be carefully thought out. Owners of studios can also draw on the original ideas presented below so that they do not have to "sleep in the kitchen".

Interior with bed and sofa

If the living room area exceeds 20-25 sq.m., then it will not be difficult to fit both the bed and the sofa.

In the photo, the corner sofa is separated from the sleeping area by a white rack with open shelves. Zoning is also achieved with a contrasting blue wall.

Living room with niche

The bed looks especially cozy in the recess. Together with textiles, the niche turns into a secret room fenced off from prying eyes.

With two beds

Even a family of four can fit in the living room if it is equipped with a sofa bed and two beds located one above the other.

Hovering

Such a high-tech hanging bed will give the interior a special chic and eccentricity, but will not hide the private area, but is guaranteed to draw attention to it.

Design solutions for beds in various styles

The bed is the central attribute around which the space is formed and the style is formed. For supporters of minimalism, a sleeping place is suitable, hidden behind airy compartment doors. Loft lovers will appreciate the podium bed and zoning with plain curtains: light fabric will dilute the brutality of the finish. For modern classics, a wide double bed is best suited.

Forged grille zoning and a colorful palette will appeal to boho lovers. Furniture with natural decorative elements or solid wood will fit into the eco-style.
