Clever Ways to Fit a Bed into a Small Space

The bed is a large piece of furniture, so fitting the bed into a small space can be a challenge. However, whether you need a sleeping area for your guests or want to carve out a bedroom for yourself in a studio apartment, there are always designs that can do wonders. Check out these clever solutions to see which ones are right for your home.

Fold the Bed Up

The owners of this two-bedroom apartment in East London needed a study space and a guest room – a common desire of people in small houses.

The answer is to create a permanent Xi space with ample storage space and… A double bed that can be folded down from a cabinet when needed.

The bi-fold door is neatly tucked in. In fact, they are covered in cork, which means that they can act as a giant bulletin board for displaying messages and displaying items; When the door is opened, they can stay in place, so there’s no need to spend time cleaning up.

A set of shelves at the entrance provides additional storage space, and baskets and boxes keep everything organized.

Don’t have a place for a double bed? This ingenious design hides a comfortable single bed. If you really don’t have enough space for a spare bed, such a unit can do the trick – this bed is unobtrusive in the living room.

Slide It Out

We are all familiar with casters, i.e. beds under beds. But what if you don’t have a bed in the first place? Why not take the idea and put the mattress underneath something else?

The architect who designed this space in Paris had the brilliant idea of raising the floor in the kitchen area to create a space for the mattresses. In addition to the hidden bed, the birch plywood platform outlines the kitchen and contains a spacious pantry on the right side.

By folding the table and pulling out the mattress underneath, the owner has an instant bedroom with a bedside table. Even better, she can also pull the bed halfway out to use as a sofa.

The slatted board serves as a support for the dining table and can accommodate six people and provides a headboard or sofa back for the bed.

It’s the same idea, but the bed slides out of the storage wall.

Raise It Up

Fold-out and slide-out beds make the most of the space, but if you want something more long-lasting, take a look at this clever design.

The couple who live in this small apartment in France want it to stay as open as possible. The solution is this multifunctional box with a bed, lockers, and even a cellar. MDF

The covered structure is approximately 8 x 5 1/4 x 6 1/2 feet. The staircase is almost 20 inches wide. The bed can be accessed through a small door at the top of the stairs. The front door can be opened for an airy feel or closed so that the magazine rack can be used to store bedside clutter.

The height of the “bedroom” is about 4 feet, just enough to sit up. This leaves room underneath for the lockers.

There are five cabinets, three of which hold clothes. They pull out the telescopic rails used to support the computer server, so they can bear enough weight.

A door (invisible) gives access to the space behind the pull-out drawer from the staircase, which the homeowner uses as a cellar; They even stored a bike there.

Devise

The architects of this 280-square-foot studio also wanted a more permanent solution. Not an inch is wasted in the bedroom, the mattress fills almost the entire space, and there’s plenty of storage space too.

This matte varnished birch plywood panel slides to hide the bed and reveal the TV and shelving unit in the living area…

Or keep it open to access the sleeping area at the back.

The cut-out door hides the washing machine and water heater, and behind these is the wardrobe space that enters from the bedroom.

The entire mattress rises from a 20-inch-high platform, revealing storage space for larger items, such as suitcases. The bookcase is cleverly designed to top

It’s only 7 7/4 inches wide, but it takes up space from the sleeping platform at the bottom, creating a deeper cabinet to house the router and game console. These holes provide ventilation and mean you don’t need to open the drawer to change TV channels.

The top of the bookcase is open, so it can also be used in the bedroom.

As if that weren’t enough, there is also a “home office”-a built-in desk along the window wall.

Make Room for It

If you want to fit a spare room in your existing living space, this idea may appeal to you.

The architect squeezed into a small bedroom in the studio apartment, stealing space from the bathroom at the back (the bathtub was replaced with a shower), as well as from the living area.

Steel-framed windows and doors allow the bedroom to borrow light from the bright living area. Choosing a dark frame defines the boundaries between the rooms.

The architects managed to place not only a double bed, but also shelves, as well as storage cabinets as shown in the picture on the right. The structure also creates the opportunity to accommodate more cupboard space in the living room.
