small studio apartmentare known to be small in size. For a family of several people, such living conditions are not always comfortable. In order to somehow solve the problem of the rationality of space, you can organize sleeping places more conveniently, that is, install your own or children's bed under the ceiling.
Thus, the place under the bed below will be free. Here it is possible to put a sofa, sofa or desk. A good option for storing things will be a closet, which will also be located under the bed. But if there is no need to fill this space, then it can simply not be cluttered up and left free.

Another option for competent placement under a bed is the arrangement of a small living room. Here you can install armchairs with a table, hold lighting under the bottom surface of the bed or put a floor lamp. To give such a space a cozy atmosphere, you can decorate the walls with fabric falling in beautiful folds from the wall or the bottom of the bed. Then you will get an unusual cabin for relaxation.
When a ceiling bed becomes a necessity
A small apartment does not have enough space, so the residents face the problem of optimal use of the available space. Agree, I want the house to have everything necessary for a full-fledged stay: a living room and a bedroom, as well as a place to work (personal office). A natural question arises: how to combine all this and create an organic space for recreation and entertainment?

Many tenants get out of the situation by buying a regular sofa, thanks to which the bed can be expanded and assembled as needed. But a folding sofa will not replace a double bed with an orthopedic mattress, where you can fully relax.
It would be possible to solve the problem of lack of living space if the ceilings of high-rise buildings were built a meter higher. Then there would be two rooms in two tiers with flights of stairs, as is practiced in European houses - condominiums. But in our country, unfortunately, such an arrangement is now only a dream ...
The problem of lack of space in small apartments has long been of interest to designers. But so far, no special shifts in this direction are foreseen, although there is one way out of this situation. It's a bed under the ceilingbedup, which can be raised up and down with a slight movement of the hand, with almost no effort. There is also a comfortable loft bed for both adults and children. It has a ladder for climbing up to the resting place.

Modern bed models under the ceiling
Interior designers have increasingly begun to pay attention to the development of new models of beds, with which you can significantly increase the space of living quarters.
The bed under the ceiling is movable, thanks to the guide rails. At any time, on command, it goes up or down. To all this, the design can be controlled using an electronic remote control by pressing one button.
In an apartment with fairly high ceilings, it is possible to install a bed on rigid rails. Due to this, it is constantly at the same fixed level and it is necessary to equip a ladder for climbing to it.

Beds in two tiers are sleeping places located one above the other. There are a sufficient number of such bedding options, both for adults and for children. They can be wood, plastic or metal.
When choosing the width of the bed, decide for whom the bed will be intended. For example, for a family option, a double bed below and a place for one person above the bed would be appropriate. For convenient lifting in the side or in front, equip a ladder.
The loft bed is suitable for one child or one adult, while it can be combined with anything and is multifunctional. The sleeping place can be higher from the floor, then under the bed you can put a table, sports equipment, a linen closet or install shelves for books.

As a result, you will get a corner for children in a small space. In such models of beds, the ladder can be removed or fixed permanently. This furniture is wooden, plastic or made of metal.
A French-style bed under the ceiling is a great option for a small room in a modern interior. Such a system is similar in its action to an elevator, the lifting mechanism of which is fixed to the wall or ceiling. This bed can also be raised and lowered. The French bed is a good element of decor. It is desirable to install backlights in its lower part. When lifting the bed, the lamps will serve as decoration as part of the ceiling.
Hanging beds allow you to save space in a small apartment. Such systems are also attached to the wall or ceiling. In addition to them, it will be convenient to have a retractable ladder, a rigid structure or a rope one. The design of the bed and its dimensions may be different. This is determined by the person for whom it is intended.

If you install guide rails on the wall, the bed will rise and fall. For a double and wide bed, the bed is fixed on both sides so that its design is reliable and durable. You should not be afraid that something will happen when raising and lowering the bed: in order to avoid this, built-in counterweights are installed, as well as mechanical or electrical systems that allow the bed plane to move at the touch of a button.
An inexpensive option for fixing a bed under the ceiling is to mount it not to the ceiling itself, but on high legs or as an integral permanently fixed bed with a mattress. As a rule, such beds are made of wood and such furniture perfectly complements the interior.

Bed for children's room
In the children's room, a sleeping place can be arranged as you wish - it all depends on your fantasies and preferences. You can, for example, purchase bed models that already have a wardrobe and a built-in table.
Children's beds are made from various materials and painted in all sorts of colors. This gives you the opportunity to choose: for example, a complex for adult furniture or another image that highlights the children's space. You can make the sleeping area unusual with the help of colorful wallpapers and bright curtains, in harmony with the colors of the interior of the room. The adult zone can be made in a different color, but the same texture or a slightly different shade.
In order for the children's and adult zones to have boundaries, they can be separated using flooring. For example, pick up different rugs: one with patterns and the other with a children's pattern or lay carpet different shades.
