- Stationary The stationary model is attached to the ceiling, to the wall or is based on a steel or wooden base. For reliability, two types of fasteners are usually combined.
- Movable. The movable bed rises along the wall due to the mechanism of separating balances, which is controlled from the remote control.
Types of beds under the ceiling
- Hanging. The suspended sleeping bed is attached directly to the ceiling with steel cables, ropes or chains. This type of fastening creates the illusion of floating in the air, in order to maintain an atmosphere of lightness the place under the bed can be left free.
- Loft bed. The upper sleeping tier of a vertical furniture complex is called the attic. For children and adolescents, the attic is made in the form of a house, a ship, an airplane.
- BedUp (rising to the ceiling). The BedUp bed rises like an elevator. In the daytime, it plays the role of upholstered furniture, and in the evening - a full bed. The backlight built into the base of the transformer will replace the top lighting in the living room. Despite the high cost, models with a lifting mechanism are in demand among the owners of studio apartments.

When placing furniture at a height, the purpose of the room does not matter. To save precious square meters, a bed under the ceiling can be installed not only in the bedroom, but also in the attic, on the front door in the hallway and even above the dining area.
Bedroom
A sleeping place, raised to the ceiling, frees up the space below for a working or playing area. The square room is more than 25 square meters. meters, you can make a spacious corner mezzanine, which can fit not only a mattress, but also a bedside table, a table lamp or flower pots.
In a narrow room, a bed is recommended to be placed between opposite walls.With a transverse arrangement above the door, the bed will be invisible at the entrance, in addition, asymmetric furniture makes the room visually wider.
A double French bed with a width of 180 cm is suitable for a couple. The design of the hanging model is more restrained compared to the floor version, but the soft headboard with a carriage tie remains unchanged.
Kitchen-living room
In a small apartment or in the country, the bed can be installed directly above the kitchen area. To make the sleeping place aesthetic and secluded, the bed is decorated with a canopy or slatted panels. Such a berth is possible only in the kitchen with silent ventilation, because the heat from the stove, extraneous smells and sounds can interfere with enjoying the rest.
Children's room
In a small nursery it is problematic to place a place for sleeping, a desk, a play area, especially if the room is shared between several children. In this case, for teens, you can organize an upper berth, and on the lower tier place the younger ones. As a rule, children are enthusiastic about the idea of sleeping at their best.
In a single children's bed they combine with other furniture, depending on the desire and age of the child. Adults need to take care of a reliable fence and a comfortable staircase with wide steps.
Examples of sleeping places in different styles
When choosing a bed under the ceiling, take into account the general style of the house.
- A bed on a metal frame with a clear glass guard is ideal for styles such as loft and industrial.
- Hi-tech is also "friendly" with modern materials, shiny chrome details and unusual forms of furniture will create a futuristic interior.
- The bed frame made of natural wood, varnished or painted in restrained natural colors will be appropriate in the eco-interior.
- The abundance of decor in small rooms creates a feeling of clutter and crowding. Simple lines and neutral colors are characteristic of minimalism, which "unloads" a modern person from the bustle of the city. A laconic bed with monochrome textile will harmoniously fit into a calm interior.
