Bed with your own hands

In our time, standard panel multi-storey houses with small apartments and low ceilings, there are still houses of old, pre-revolutionary or Stalin-era buildings. You can learn them by the large size of the windows. In such apartments space, as it were turned upside down and laid on its side, and cubature often exceeds the area of the room several times. Therefore, they look empty, even with the maximum saturation of furniture per unit area.

How can I maximize the available volume and relieve the area? For example, divide the room into two tiers and make a bed on your second tier with your own hands. To do this, it is enough to have spatial imagination, minimal knowledge of the strength, a small amount of money, to purchase materials and the necessary skills in the construction of structures. You will also need a drill, a hand saw or a bulgarian and a usual set of home tools, anchors, wood and metal cutters, nails.

Make a bed with your own hands can be made of metal and wood. For the frame and supports, a 100 mm beam or a 30-50 mm metal corner will fit the planned load. A mattress is better to order orthopedic, to its size.

So, let's take a closer look at how to make a bed with your own hands. First, determine the area. If the room in which the bed will be located is small, then under the device of a luxurious bed, one quarter of the available space can be allocated. In the chosen place, approximately in the middle of the room, a support is fixed, it is rigidly fastened by anchors to the floor. Also, the base of the recumbent space is fixed rigidly to the walls and connected to the support. The height at which the base is fixed should be approximately in the middle of the wall. The ceiling of the lower tier can be made just above the middle line, from the calculation of the growth of the highest member of the family. The rigidities of connecting the bed base with walls and supports should be given special significance. Because such a design is made for decades and it is worthwhile to anticipate in advance what loads it will have to experience. It must be understood that such a bed is a rather rare phenomenon, therefore it will attract the interest of many apartment visitors. For example, there were cases when up to six guests were picking up guests, and the lightest of them weighed 90 kg. And what they like to do with children on such a design is generally impossible to describe in words.

An additional point of support for the bed can also serve as a pillar around which a spiral staircase will be made. This type of staircase is optimal for small areas of the room. Otherwise, the ladder can have any other design.

The bed must be fenced. If the family has small children, the issue of handrails should be given special attention. Make handrails on the bed with your own hands can be made from soft shockproof materials, for example, thick cords braided in a whimsical grid shape. Or you can order light metal restraints or massive wooden handrails in a specialized workshop. It depends on the style of the room. The final processing of the design pursues not only protective purposes, but also satisfies the design requirements. The color scheme and style of performance should fit into the interior of the room. Therefore, it is better to plan in advance the creation of the royal bed with cosmetic repair of the premises.

You can also decorate the bed with your own hands. A mesh decorated with flowers, sea symbols or a romantic canopy will give this homemade design a finished, original look. In the lower tier you can draw a rest corner, having beaten the low ceilings in this room with mirrors and soft diffuse light of several lamps. Steps of the stairs can be increased in depth, smoothly turning them into shelves for books.

In a similar way, a baby crib can be made by hand. For children, the height of the ceiling does not matter, so it easily fits into a room with a standard height. On the lower tier, with only one child in the family, you can design a playing space where the baby can hide from the adult world. This will greatly expand the useful area of the children's room and create a unique space for the little person.
