Selection and placement recommendations
In order for the bed under the ceiling to be comfortable and organically fit into the interior, a number of factors must be taken into account:
- The ceiling height should be more than 2.5 meters, this will make it possible to profitably use the space on the lower level. For psychological comfort, the distance from the bed to the ceiling is recommended at least 70 cm.
- For safety, the bed under the ceiling is fenced with a railing with a height of 30 cm.
- Good ventilation is desirable in the room to avoid a lack of oxygen in the upper tier.
- Before installing the product, check the strength of the concrete floor or ceiling beams.

Varieties of designs
The beds can be rigidly fixed at the desired height or slide upwards along the wall guide rails.
- Stationary. The stationary model is fixed to the ceiling, to the wall, or based on a steel or wood base. For reliability, two types of fasteners are usually combined.
- Movable. The movable bed rises along the wall due to the mechanism of separating counterweights, which is controlled from the remote control.
Types of beds under the ceiling
- Suspended. The suspended sleeping bed is attached directly to the ceiling with steel cables, ropes or chains. This type of attachment creates the illusion of floating in the air, in order to maintain an atmosphere of lightness, the space under the bed can be left free.
- Loft bed. The upper sleeping tier of a vertical furniture complex is called an attic. For children and adolescents, the attic is made in the form of a house, a ship, an airplane.
- BedUp bed (rising to the ceiling). The BedUp bed rises like an elevator. In the daytime, it serves as upholstered furniture, and in the evening - a full-fledged bed. The lighting built into the base of the transformer will replace the overhead lighting in the living room. Despite the high cost, models with a lifting mechanism are in demand among studio apartment owners.
Photos in the interior of the rooms
When placing furniture at a height, the purpose of the room is not important. To save precious square meters, the bed under the ceiling can be installed not only in the bedroom, but also in the attic, on the front door in the hallway and even above the dining area.
Bedroom
The sleeper, raised to the ceiling, frees up space below for a work or play area. In a square room, more than 25 sq.meters, you can make a spacious corner mezzanine, on which not only a mattress can fit, but also a bedside table, table lamp or flower pots.
In a narrow room, the bed is recommended to be placed between opposite walls. With a transverse arrangement above the door, the bed will be invisible at the entrance, moreover, the asymmetrical furniture makes the room visually wider.
For a married couple, a double French bed with a width of 180 cm or more is suitable. The design of the hanging model is more restrained compared to the floor version, but the soft headboard with a carriage tie remains unchanged.
Kitchen-living room
In a small apartment or in a country house, the bed can be installed directly above the kitchen area. To make the sleeping place aesthetic and secluded, the bed is decorated with a canopy or slatted panels. Such a sleeping place is possible only in a kitchen with silent ventilation, because the heat from the stove, foreign smells and sounds can interfere with enjoying your rest.
Children's room
In a small nursery, it is problematic to place a place to sleep, a desk, a play area, especially if the room is divided between several children. In this case, the upper berth can be arranged for teenagers, and the younger ones can be placed on the lower tier. As a rule, children are enthusiastic about the idea of sleeping at a height.
In a single children's bed, they are combined with other furniture depending on the child's wishes and age. Adults need to take care of a secure fence and a comfortable staircase with wide steps.
Examples of sleeping places in different styles
When choosing a bed under the ceiling, take into account the general style of the house.
- A metal frame bed with clear glass railing is ideal for styles such as loft and industrial.
- High-tech is also "friendly" with modern materials, shiny chrome details and unusual shapes of furniture will create a futuristic interior.
- The bed frame made of natural wood, varnished or painted in restrained natural colors will be appropriate in an eco-interior.
- The abundance of decor in small rooms creates a feeling of being cluttered and cramped. Simple lines and neutral colors are characteristic of minimalism, which "relieves" the modern man from the bustle of the city. A laconic bed with monochrome textiles will harmoniously fit into a calm interior.
