Beds with drawers: aesthetic and practical

The desire to make the most of the space of his apartment is quite natural, especially when it comes to storing things. Indeed, even the most zealous lovers of order, regularly getting rid of all unnecessary, recognize that with time, the house becomes less free space. The situation is aggravated by the fact that the area of apartments of most of the population can not be called impressive.

The only way (except for moving to a more spacious dwelling) of solving this problem is to improve the ergonomics of the room, including an increase in the number of storage areas. Beds with drawers are a great opportunity to get extra space without cluttering the room with cupboards, chests of drawers and shelving. It's nice to realize that this is not achieved at the expense of our own comfort and the deterioration of the aesthetics of the room.

Beds with drawers - what they are

The idea of these beds - the presence of a bed space for storage. True, it is realized 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 ways of access to this space. Boxes can be retractable (as in a chest of drawers) or opened using a lifting mechanism located under the orthopedic base. The first option is considered more economical. True, beds with boxes of this type have some features that are desirable to know.

First, there should be enough free space in the room to open them. Moreover, double beds of solid width can have drawers that open in different directions, so that if furniture is put against the wall, it will be almost impossible to use them. Secondly, if the storage space is implemented on the principle of the chest, and the drawout sections are several, and they can be arranged in two rows, the quantity of accessories used in the manufacture 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 thing : drawers with their heavy workload are quite difficult to open. Which also creates some inconvenience.

The second option - beds with boxes, photos of which can often be seen in interior magazines: models equipped with lifting mechanisms.

Advantages of this design is quite a lot:

• Large amount of usable space;
• Excellent access to any corner of the box, and hence - a convenient search for the required thing;
• No need for additional space for opening boxes.

It is necessary to pay attention to the quality of the lifting mechanism. It should be safe, securely fixed in the upper position and smoothly lowered.

Beds with drawers - optimal for children and adults

Advantages of sleeping places with space for storage of things are obvious. And you can find models for adult bedrooms and for children. Beds for toddlers are carried out mainly with drawers. This is understandable. Their size is relatively small, so this is the most inexpensive and yet convenient option. A teenage bed with boxes can be made by the same principle or have a lifting mechanism. Often it depends on its appearance, which is very important for growing up children.
