What is it
Two-storeyed systems appeared quite a long time ago, and it is no longer a novelty to see them in the children's room. However, a bed with a wardrobe can cause surprise, especially a loft bed. Such a modification arose relatively recently. We will understand what their features, advantages and disadvantages. But first you need to understand what it is all about.
Loft bed with wardrobe. From the name itself it can be determined that the construction is unusual. It is a kind of hybrid work area and bed. Also contains a cupboard and shelves for linen. And it all fits in the same building.
Usually the beds with a wardrobe are arranged as follows: on the second floor there is a sleeping place, under it there is a wardrobe (it can be near, fixed to the general structure). Also this type of bed is equipped with additional shelves and drawers. The space under the recreation area is usually equipped for working space, that is, a full-fledged computer desk with drawers and a comfortable writing surface is attached.
This option is suitable for the bedroom of a child, teenager and adult. Significantly saving free space, will be an excellent solution for small-sized rooms.
The general principle on which this mechanism is built is described above. However, there are various modifications. We provide the opportunity to choose the option for every taste, for each design and budget.
Kinds
There are two main criteria according to which sleeping systems of this type are divided into several types:
- material of which the basis is made;
- type of construction.
In accordance with the first criterion, they can be divided into beds made of natural wood and lumber (chipboard, chipboard, MDF, etc.). Of course, natural wood is better in quality and environmental performance. But such material is expensive. If you are looking for furniture of good enough quality at a reasonable price, you should give preference to lumber.
There are many varieties of beds, attics based on this raw material, not inferior to the quality of products made of natural wood. The essence of such a framework is that after processing a solid wood, parts of the raw materials that are not suitable for use in this form (uneven edges, knots, etc.) remain. Then they are processed into chips, compressed, and used for the manufacture of furniture. Products from this material are running, quite durable and high quality.
In accordance with the type of design, you can choose any type of bed that suits your own taste and room size.
- The standard location of the zones is the presence of a sleeping place on the 2nd floor, under it a wardrobe and a working area.
- There is a simplified version without a desk. Under the bed is placed a wardrobe and a few extra drawers for linen, as well as a ladder.
- You can also pick up a bed with two beds. In this embodiment, the desk will also be absent.
- Another type of design with a horizontal wardrobe, and drawers built under the stairs. In this case, most likely the desk will be absent.
If the furniture is supposed to be placed in a teenager's room, the standard option would be best. If it is designed for two children, a loft bed with a wardrobe and two berths will be quite comfortable.
Criterias of choice
To bed served for a long time, well suited to the age of the child and in harmony with the design of the room, go seriously to her choice. To simplify the task, rely on the following criteria:
- Material
This is the main criterion to pay attention to. Quality raw materials for the base - a pledge of product quality. We recommend to pick up a bed from a natural tree. We also propose to consider the quality of other raw materials.
Material | pros | Minuses |
Natural wood | Durability, beauty, environmental friendliness | High price |
MDF | Ease of processing, good decorative qualities, environmentally friendly material | High cost, soft enough |
Chipboard | Cheap, good performance, hardness | The use of formaldehyde resins in the manufacturing process (not environmentally friendly) |
Chipboard | It has the same characteristics as chipboard, only has the best appearance due to lamination. | Not environmentally friendly |
- Dimensions
Before buying a bed, determine where it will stand. Take measurements of the space reserved for the furniture. Keep in mind that it should not close the heaters, preventing the free circulation of warm air. Also determine the position of the bed relative to the window (if the structure is with a table) so that during work daylight falls on the work surface.
Consider the height and weight of the child to correctly calculate the size of the bed. Determine how big the wardrobe and table need a child (you can allocate more space for one by cutting the other).
Relying on these calculations, you will be able to choose a bed, the dimensions of which will harmoniously fit into the room.
- Type of construction
According to this clause, your choice will depend on what function the structure will perform.If you want to create a child a comfortable area for work and rest, the option with a computer desk and a sleeping place on the second floor will be the most suitable.
If you intend to replace the furniture in the bedroom of two children, it is better to choose a system with two beds and additional drawers.
Also, the type of structure chosen depends on where it will be located. You can choose the angular type of accommodation components of the system, or give preference to the standard location.
To your attention any modification of existing models: with a sliding table, two closets, extra drawers or bedside tables, with a sofa on the first floor and many other ideas to your taste. The choice depends on the functionality of the product.
- Price
Another important factor is the price of the product. This criterion is directly proportional to quality. The better the material and quality of the product, the higher the price. You can pick up a bed at the price of 10 thousand rubles. However, the price of higher quality furniture will be higher. The optimum choice varies within 13-17 thousand rbl. In this case, there is the most acceptable ratio of price and product quality.
For the rest (various modifications, additional parameters, original design, etc.) rely on your own budget. This factor is important, but not decisive. Do not chase the cheap products, sacrificing quality. And, on the other hand, remember: not every expensive product can differ in the best quality.
Advantages and disadvantages
This type of bed is quite comfortable, it is loved by many users. However, like any thing, such a device has its pros and cons. The advantages of using beds with a wardrobe and a loft bed are the following:
- Space saving. The purchase of such a bed will allow moving the bed “under the ceiling”, thereby freeing up the space occupied by it.

However, there are disadvantages.

In general, this type of bed is quite practical and easy to use.
It is necessary to add a few words about the use in the interior of such furniture and care for it.
This design will decorate any environment, in the case of the correct selection of colors of the product. If you need a children's bed with a wardrobe, there is an opportunity to purchase furniture in the form of a car, a rocket, an airplane, or to buy a baby a whole lock. Any of your imagination is feasible in the case of making beds to order.
Rules for the care of such beds are quite simple: you need to wipe their surface from dust with a damp cloth (but not wet!) Once a week, and be careful when using them.
