Baby bed with corner
The predominant part of the modern domestic housing stock was built even when residential areas grew much slower than the number of the population, so it is not surprising that most children's rooms cannot boast of spaciousness. This greatly complicates the task of parents who wish to provide their child’s bedroom with everything they need, but who do not find enough space for it.
If the room corners, it seems, more than flat walls, you should pay attention to children's beds with a corner.
Benefits
Some parents are wary of beds with corners, preferring to hide the least needed pieces of furniture in the corners or even not to use them at all, if only the child is located in the center of the room rather than in the suburbs. In small children, such logic is completely inappropriate, especially since the child as a whole doesn’t care where to sleep - more importantly, is there a place for active games. It is under him that the central part of the room should be freed, and Combining a bed with a corner in this situation is not only possible, but also logical, and here's why:
- Combined headset includes not only a bed, but other bonuses. Most often it is a desk or cupboard, but also some special game zone, like a toy houseis also found. Typically, these components are not just located side by side, but at least partially hung one above the other, being arranged in two tiers, so all in one case takes up much less space than individual similar pieces of furniture.
- A variety of functional models inextricably linked with a variety of design solutions. A children's bed with a corner without being tied to a specific model is a universal thing, it will fit into any interior of each of the currently existing styles.
- Manufacturers are well aware that more than half of the entire domestic living space has similar dimensions, but its tenants may have completely different needs, therefore produce children's beds with corners in different configurations.
You can always choose an option that provides just as many amenities as you would like, and exactly those that you need. In addition, there is a choice between better and more durable furniture and cheaper goods.
Design options
There are as many varieties of children's corners with a sleeping place as much as there are really good designers all over the world, that is, there are many; This amount is essentially unlimited. However, there are several common form factors that are in steady demand from consumers, and therefore serve as the main source of inspiration for developers. These are models of the following types:
- Corner wall. A cabinet adapted to be placed in a corner cannot surprise anyone today, but it quite successfully combines with a sleeping place that can be located both on its “roof” (loft bed) and be “inscribed” inside the case when drawers are placed under the bed, and above it, and along the edges.
- Bed attic with a table. Since children of school age need a place where they will learn lessons or engage in creative work, or even just sit at the computer, you cannot do without a table in the nursery - so why not combine it with a bed in the corner? Savings are achieved due to the fact that the table is located on the first tier, and the bed is on the second, although they are not necessarily located completely one above the other - the bed may lie flat on another wall, partially hanging over the table, and partially resting on a bedside table.
- Bunk bed. If more than one child lives in a cramped nursery, then a bunk bed here is simply obligatory.When they talk about a corner bunk bed, it is usually meant that the tiers in it are located not one above the other, but at an angle of 90 degrees to each other, that is, at the neighboring walls. In the corner, they partially overlap, the free half under the upper tier is most often equipped under a computer desk, while the open half of the wall above the lower floor is used for wall decorations like paintings or simply occupied by a window.
Features of the sleeping corner for the student
Often, when choosing a bed with a corner, parents prefer models with a table, because without it there is nowhere, and if the lockers and bedside tables can be of various shapes and sizes, then the table individually takes up quite a lot of space. Because of this, it's really very practical to combine with a bed, but it is worth paying attention to a number of criteria:
- Even an ordinary desk must have dimensions of at least a meter and a half and this - provided that it does not have a desktop computer; if present, the recommended size of the tabletop increases to the area required for the PC.
- For the formation of correct posture the tabletop must be level with the elbows of the seated child, but it is constantly growing, so you need to choose either a table with adjustable height, or a similar chair. In addition, it is very desirable that the product be equipped with drawers or shelves for textbooks and notebooks, otherwise you will have to constantly be distracted by the campaigns for them.
- It is necessary to provide decent lighting which, according to the recommendations of psychologists, ideally placed in front of the left. Natural light from the window is perceived better, plus there is an opportunity to be distracted and relax for a while, but this same factor can cause a complete de-concentration.
What mattress will do?
Even the best bed will seem stupid, if the mattress to it is chosen poorly. For a child, it is better to choose models of medium hardness that provide good support for an emerging posture during sleep, high rigidity will also work and even provide a deeper and more restful sleep, but such a solution will not seem convenient to everyone.
But soft mattresses should not even be considered, because quite often they are the main cause of impaired posture in children.
A good size mattress should be as close as possible to the dimensions of the bed, do not protrude and not be too small. As for materials, it is better to give preference to natural raw materials like coconut fiber or at least harmless classics like foam rubber. Finally, do not catch at any mattress called orthopedic - those are really very useful, but not all of them are related to them, and such a label is hung on any handicraft for the sake of good trading.
How to choose?
With all the advantages described, even a baby bed with a corner can be an unsuccessful purchase if you buy it at random, without prior preparation. Use practical advice to select an intelligent product:
- Do not go to the store for some reason. Firstly, measure exactly how much space you are ready to allocate under the corner set. As a rule, such furniture is bought only for small rooms, and it is small-sized, however, without a clear plan, you will either doubt about the size, or buy something that ultimately does not fit in the room.
- Think over what else besides bed you want from a headset. If space is scarce, additional options, even if useful, in the form of storage boxes and spacious nightstands, will be completely superfluous, so focus only on what is really needed.
- Such furniture is usually purchased for children not younger than first graders, and those already have their own opinion. Do not choose a headset yourself - consult with the child especially since he must confirm the convenience of the chosen model.
Beautiful interiors
The first example is the most common variety, table corner. It is amazing how many things the creators could squeeze into this tiny building - here is the bed, and a rather spacious locker, and a convenient computer desk. The manufacturer did not forget about the attractive design - the model is made in a soothing green color.
If the child has a lot of things, and there is nowhere to place a closet or simply not yet, you can buy two in one - bed and wardrobe. Such furniture takes only a little more space than a regular cot, however, this model, for example, has seven drawers and four shelves, which gives hope to hide absolutely everything.
If there are two children, choose bunk bedbut not simple, but with tiers located at right angles. Under the free half of the upper tier, a typical wardrobe is placed here, but the unallocated space above the lower one was occupied by a window, which would not allow to put any other piece of furniture there.
