Choosing and placing a bed in the bedroom

A bed can rightfully be called the basis of the bedroom, because we spend a third of our lives in a dream, which means a comfortable bed is our vital necessity.

Headboard

The first thing you should pay attention to is the head of the bed, they come in three main types:

• Inpatient - occurs in most cases. Its main disadvantage is that replacing it with another will not work without destroying the bed.
• An attached is a separate element that will become a convenient and functional solution in a small room. Its name speaks for itself - it is an element of modular furniture for a bedroom. Blocks are arranged in a single system with a niche equal to the width of the mattress. The plate, which is the headboard, is a single piece uniting them.
• Mounted - the most artsy and luxurious option. It looks like a frame covered with upholstery, which is mounted on the wall, and the bed is moved close to it.

Important! The only minus of this headboard is that the bed can only be positioned head to the wall.

Mattress

The next important aspect is the choice of a mattress. For a healthy, sound and comfortable sleep, the mattress should be sufficiently elastic and firm. When buying a new mattress, you should not save, because a bad mattress will not only not allow you to fully relax, but can also reward you with irritability and constant fatigue.

Useful Tips

The correct arrangement of furniture in a small bedroom will largely depend on what style the room is made of, on its size and shape, and of course, on your preferences:

• If the room is small, it is best to put the bed head to the wall, leaving space for a closet, chests of drawers and cabinets.
• The color scheme also plays a large role for relaxation, so it is advisable to avoid bright, flashy colors in the bedroom, as they are able to excite the brain and interfere with full sleep. However, several bright accessories can give the room a certain mood.
• You can also pick up beautiful bedding, which can be changed at any time to linen in soft, calm colors.

Depending on the size of the room, the room can be furnished with sofas, chests of drawers, coffee tables and additional accessories - in many respects their choice will depend on the design of the room.

Particleboard or MDF can be selected as the material. Modern technologies make it possible to make furniture from materials similar to wood, while not inferior to it in quality.
