The owners of one-room apartments always face a very difficult task: how to organize a comfortable sleeping place in the living room. Some people consider it a perfectly acceptable option to use the sofa for guests as a bed for sleeping. We want to offer you some more interesting and practical options for how to beautifully and ergonomically place a full bed in the living room.
Visual zoning of space: sofa at the foot of the bed
To separate the sleeping area from the reception area at least visually, you can put a sofa at the foot of the bed. This is a very convenient and simple solution that does not require additional costs. True, this will not have the effect of additional privacy in the sleeping area, but in general the idea can be useful.
Zoning with a screen
A screen is a wonderful decorative element that can also be used with benefit. It is enough just to put it so that the bed is hidden behind it from prying eyes. Depending on the design of the screen, such a solution may be relevant in interior styles such as classic, boho, oriental, country, modern and eclectic.
Canopy and its interpretations
A bed with a classic canopy looks like a separate room inside a bedroom or, in this case, a living room. But such an element does not always fit into the interior design. Fortunately, today there are many variations on the interpretation of canopies, in particular the canopy on the box. Therefore, as they say: there would be a fantasy.
Zoning with a rack
You can create an atmosphere of privacy in the sleeping area by separating the bed from the reception area with a rack. If at the same time the bed is in the corner of the room, as shown in the photo, then to heighten the effect, you can hang a curtain.
Glass partitioning
If you do not want to divide the living room with a blank wall, but still strive for maximum privacy while relaxing, we recommend that you consider the option with a glass partition. So, the room will remain visually the same large, but you will no longer have to sleep in the living room..
Stationary partition
If the apartment is not rented and the area of the only room allows, then you can separate the sleeping area in the living room using a stationary partition made of brick or drywall. If the partition is no more than 1.5 meters high, then the unity of space will not be broken and your living room will not seem too small.
Folding bed
In our latitudes, this technique is not very popular, but European designers have long appreciated the ergonomics of this solution. The folding bed is ideal even for the smallest “odnushka”.
Pull-out bed
Another option to save space in the living room bedroom is to install a pull-out bed, which, as unnecessary, easily hides in the podium, which at this time can serve as a dining area or home office.
Bed on the podium
This is another option for purely visual zoning. But in this case, there may also be a significant “bonus” for the storage system. For example, in the photo you can see how practical the idea of a dressing room inside the catwalk is. If you wish, you can organize a mini-library or storage for bed linen there..
Bed under the ceiling
If there is a sorely lack of space in a one-room apartment and it would seem that there is nowhere to put the bed at all – hang it from the ceiling! Try to think wider and use all levels of the room so that every inch of free space works for you.
Bed in a niche or alcove
If the room has a large enough niche, then there is no need to think of a bed there will be a very place! If there is no niche, but the living room is spacious enough, and the desire to hide the bed from prying eyes prompts you to take decisive action, then think about building a sleeping area in a wooden alcove.
