A hidden bed is the perfect solution fortiny houses and studio apartments are a real salvation for the inhabitants of small apartments and houses. The problem of providing a place for comfortable sleep in conditions of a shortage of square meters is solved by designers in different ways. We have seen many interiors with beds arranged on the mezzanine, stored in closets and even hanging from the ceiling. The first option is probably the most popular, but it also has its drawbacks. They concern safety and comfort: falls, head bumps and unpleasant sensations due to high temperatures are possible consequences of using a bed on the mezzanine. Obviously, their design and arrangement presupposes certain expenses and sufficient ceiling height.
It appears that the pull-out bed isan excellent alternative for compact interiors. In terms of complexity of the device, they are on a par with lifting beds - those that are hidden behind cabinet doors. But in the latter case, the user is forced to remove and make the bed linen every day, as well as fasten the mattress. A sleeping bed that slides out like a chest of drawers eliminates this need. And the presence of a podium, under which such a bed is usually stored, provides additional opportunities for organizing the space of the apartment. This is confirmed by an interesting example from the Brevard Tiny House studio. Its specialists designed an interior in which a full-size double bed slides under a podium used to arrange a laundry room. Perhaps this is a rather strange solution, but it definitely deserves attention.
The authors of this project were inspired by the workanother team — Boneyard Studio. And we are in a hurry to introduce you to it. The next photo shows the living room in the house called Minim. Here, on the podium, under which the bed is hidden, something like a studio or office is arranged.
This is going to be a bit of a digression, but we couldn't help but mention the house's existing projection screen that drops down over the window.
There is another great way to implement the idea with. It was proposed by French designers Marc Baillargeon and Julie Nabuse. They were designing a Parisian apartment, where a bed was installed that is hidden under the podium, either half or completely. In the first case, the part that remains outside can be used as a sofa - you just need to put a few pillows. The second option allows you to free up space in the room - for a party, for example. Three different positions for performing three different functions - just what you need in a small apartment!
Isn't it great that there is an affordable alternative to loft beds? What do you think?
What does a hidden bed look like and how is it good?
