Consider the most popular solutions.
- Armchair bed. During the day, you can sit on it like a chair, and at night it can easily turn into a bed. Thus, you can get a full bed. Be sure to purchase an orthopedic mattress, because with its help you can eliminate all the shortcomings of such a bed, which will have a beneficial effect on healthy sleep. It is better to deploy such a chair facing the window, so when you wake up in the morning, the first thing that catches your eye will not be dishes with a sink, but the view from the window.

- Small kitchen sofa bed. When buying such furniture, you should remember that it will require a lot of free space.

Pay special attention to the presence of an internal pallet in which you can put bed linen and other things.

In addition to the above options, some people also resort to placing a folding bed or arranging an internal sleeping niche in the kitchen.

Making a bed in the kitchen to order
The ideal solution would be the manufacture of a custom-made kitchen bed. Thus, you can take into account all the features of your kitchen, its dimensions and colors, as well as your own preferences.

Upholstery for the kitchen corner is most often natural or artificial leather. However, you can also use a special fabric for these purposes - flock. This material is not afraid of moisture, it does not absorb kitchen odors and is easy to clean, so even if you accidentally drop greasy food on such upholstery, nothing bad will happen, because it can be easily cleaned.

How to best divide the kitchen into several parts
In pursuit of free space, designers have long turned their attention to the kitchen, because the potential of this room is truly enormous. We ourselves do not pay attention to how we divide our kitchen into different zones. In the working area there are household appliances, a sink, various cabinets, a countertop and more. The dining area has a table and chairs or a seating area. So why, if the place allows, not organize a cozy bed? Let's look at the best options for such a solution.
Kitchen corners adapted for a berth
First option. In this case, the workplace, which is also a continuation of the dining area, is located in front of the window, which many housewives will surely appreciate. The negative point is the difficult access to the window, the small size of the hob and the distance from the stove and sink. With such a layout, it will not be possible to place a dishwasher in the kitchen, although you can install a small one under the sink. A bar with a lid-table is already made to order.

The second option is somewhat more complicated and will require good technical execution. The main problem here is that the drains are located far from the sewer pipe. It would be better to replace the doors with sliding ones, and the table with a coffee table, which will need to be taken out of the kitchen at night.

The third option is the most logical, the sofa and the refrigerator are located here as in the diagram of the hostess. At the same time, in option 3.1, a table-book is placed in front of the sofa, behind which 5-6 people can easily accommodate. When closed, the dimensions of the table are 35x60 centimeters, and when unfolded - 115x60. Please note that this table is made to order.

In version 3.2, the folding console table is fixed to the wall. And if you get rid of the door at all (you can leave the frame), then it is possible to install a shallow cabinet-pencil case even up to the ceiling, although guests will have to spend the night with the door open.
In general, in the third option, it is not entirely clear what needs to be done with the TV.It can be either attached to the wall or put on the refrigerator, or you can completely remove it from the kitchen.
