The desire to make maximum use of the space of your apartment is quite natural, especially when it comes to storing things. Indeed, even the most zealous lovers of order, regularly getting rid of everything unnecessary, admit that over time there is less and less free space in the house. The situation is aggravated by the fact that the area of apartments of most of the population cannot be called impressive.
The only way (except for moving to a more spacious home) to solve this problem is to improve the ergonomics of the room, including increasing the number of areas for storage. Beds with drawers are a great opportunity to get additional space without cluttering the room with cabinets, chests of drawers and shelving. It is pleasant to realize that this is not achieved at the expense of our own comfort and deterioration of the aesthetics of the room.
Beds with drawers - what they are
The idea of these beds is to have storage space under the bed. True, it is implemented in different ways. Boxes in the bed can be located around the perimeter of the bed or have a slightly smaller area. Their height also varies.
The main differences concern only access to this space. Drawers can be retractable (as in a chest of drawers) or open using a lifting mechanism located under the orthopedic base. The first option is considered more economical. True, beds with drawers of this type have some features that it is desirable to know.
Firstly, the room should have enough free space to open them. Moreover, double beds of solid width can have drawers that open in different directions, so if the furniture is placed against the wall, it will be almost impossible to use them. Secondly, if the storage space is implemented on the principle of a chest of drawers, and there are several retractable sections, while they can be arranged in two rows, the number of accessories used in the manufacture of accessories increases sharply, which leads to an increase in the cost of the finished product. Therefore, profitability in this case is a relative concept.
And the last:
drawers with their heavy workload open quite hard. Which also creates some inconvenience.
The second option is beds with drawers, photos of which can often be seen in interior magazines: models equipped with lifting mechanisms.
The advantages of this design are many:
- a large amount of usable area;
- excellent access to any corner of the box, which means a convenient search for the thing you need;
- lack of need for additional space for opening drawers.
Be sure to pay attention to the quality of the lifting mechanism. It should be safe, securely locked in the up position and gently lower.
Beds with drawers - optimal for children and adults
The benefits of sleeping with storage space are obvious. Moreover, you can find models for adult bedrooms and for children. Beds for babies are made mainly with drawers. This is understandable. Their size is relatively small, so this is the most inexpensive and at the same time convenient option.
A teenage bed with drawers can be made on the same principle or have a lifting mechanism. Often it depends on her appearance, which is very important for growing up children.
