Arrangement of a berth in the kitchen

The kitchen in the apartment is one of the most important and favorite places by many households. The whole family gathers there for dinner or tea on cozy evenings. Mistresses especially have to spend a lot of time in this room. therefore it is very important to equip the kitchen so that it is comfortable for the whole family. Sometimes it happens that there is a need to organize a bed in the kitchen. And then the question becomes relevant, how best to equip it so that it looks beautiful and comfortable.

The choice of a berth and its placement will directly depend on the size of the room. If the kitchen is spacious, then it can be divided into zones, in one of which there will be a dining room, and in the other - the so-called recreation area. The working part can accommodate a stove, refrigerator, cabinets, a table with chairs, that is, everything you need for cooking and eating.

In another part, which can be separated by an arch, a pillar, a screen, a shelving, there will be a sleeping corner. If there is a lot of space in the kitchen, you can make it large and comfortable, where you can accommodate guests for several days if desired. It is likely that this will be a bed or upholstered furniture.

In a small kitchen, it’s extremely difficult to allocate space, for example, under a sofa, but if everything is carefully thought out, then you can organize a compact place that will allow a late guest to stay for the night or help out some of the family members for a while. On a small area, you will have to carefully consider the placement of all objects, calculate and measure everything in order to clearly know what, where and how will fit.

It is better to pre-draw a plan with all sizes in order to equip the kitchen space as functionally as possible, but at the same time beautifully. Before you equip a kitchen place, you need to imagine exactly what it will be, since there are so many possibilities to do this. And what kind of look is suitable for each particular kitchen, it's up to her mistress.

Depending on the size of the kitchen, style, you should choose furniture that will serve as a berth. There are different options.

• Chair bed. A convenient option for a very small kitchen. During the day, this is an ordinary lounge chair where you can sit to read a book or have a cup of coffee. And at night, if necessary, this piece of furniture easily turns into a berth, and then just as quickly removed.

• Bed. A full bed (for example, a single bed) can be located in the kitchen only if it has a very large area, and at the same time it is possible to divide the room into zones. Then the corner for rest may well be located behind the original screen, a rack with flowers, a beautifully decorated arch.

• Sofa bed. A great option for both a spacious kitchen and a small room. In the afternoon it is a cozy place where you can accommodate the hosts and guests during feasts. In the evening, the sofa can be taken apart, making a wonderful sleeping place for two people. The design of the sofa is also easy to choose exactly the one that successfully fits into a particular kitchen.

• Couch. Furniture purchased for the dining area can also serve as a berth. It may well fit one person. Perhaps this is not such a convenient option, but for one or two nights it will do. In addition, there are models that can be decomposed.

• Ottoman or sofa. Also a winning option. And it looks very original with the right style of decoration. Most likely, this piece of furniture is suitable for more spacious rooms, where you can fence off the area for relaxation and tea drinking.

• Bench or couch. As a seat for guests - a very suitable type of furniture. It takes up a little space, while you can choose a stylish option that will successfully fit into the interior. Having placed a mattress on a bench, you can comfortably spend the night and get enough sleep.

• Transforming bed. Very comfortable type of berth and very suitable for small rooms. You can use the services of specialists, or you can attach the structure yourself. The essence of this bed is that it is attached to the wall like a shelf in a train compartment. During the day, she can be against the wall and not attract attention at all, especially if it is combined with a different design. And at night the bed unfolds, and it turns out quite a comfortable place.

• Cot. If the kitchen is too small, and the bed is extremely necessary, you can resort to the simplest way - use a folding bed. This item can always be folded and put into the pantry or closet, it takes up very little space when folded. There are many options for sleeping places. But you need to consider the pros and cons of each. If, for example, a sleeping corner is required from case to case, then a banquet, couch, chair-bed are quite suitable.

Sofas, beds are, first of all, convenience. But the minus is that they will take up a lot of space. And you can place them only in large rooms.If one of the family members plans to spend the night in the kitchen all the time, then you can not do without a bed or sofa.

When choosing a place in the space where furniture for rest will be placed, you need to consider some nuances.

• You need to install a bed or sofa so that the furniture is in a separate niche, away from the dining area, where you could feel in solitude. It’s nice to have flowers, bookshelves, and a TV nearby.
• If the kitchen is small, you need to place a berth so that it does not adjoin the stove or refrigerator. It is advisable to put in such a way that you can see the window, and not the sink, for example.
• If this is a sofa, which is located near the table, you need to provide everything so that the table, if desired, can be easily moved away when you have to prepare a place for sleeping.

Everyone can dream up and make the design of the kitchen so that it was comfortable and looked stylish and beautiful. But you can add something of your own, based on already known options, and this will be another option.

• In this case, this is a shelf bed, which is easily pushed away from the wall, and during the day it does not take up space at all and allows you to safely move around the small kitchen.

• A very convenient option for relaxation is an ottoman, under which there are still boxes for things. It is located in a niche, which makes it ideal for relaxation.

• A small sofa behind the bar is a great solution. The kitchen is divided into zones where everything looks harmonious, and there is also the opportunity to have a good time and have a good rest.
