Hi all! Universal furniture is actively gaining popularity. A striking example is a bed with a pull-out table. Although there are other types of designs, where in addition to the sleeping area a table top is provided.
Objectively, this is more children's furniture than an option for organizing space for an adult. Beds with tables are mainly chosen for teenagers and schoolchildren. If you have a little princess who is already busy with homework or creativity, getting one of the beds below would be an extremely smart decision.
The main problem of a children's room is that it requires placing quite a lot of furniture in a very limited area. But you also need to leave space for games. Universal furniture comes to the rescue.
Types of construction
When choosing the type of design, pay attention to the following parameters:
- The quality of materials for the manufacture of the frame and bed on the upper tier. It is necessary to choose a high-quality, hard mattress with good filling;
- Safety of use of fixed elements;
- Type of stairs, especially in models for children.
Wood is used to make a loft bed with a work area. Along with wooden structures, you can find a model in which a metal bed will be installed. They are more durable and have a lower cost.
With work area below
Ready-made loft beds are selected taking into account the size of the room, user requirements and availability of funds. Attic beds consist of a frame and a sleeping module. Additionally, they are equipped with a work desk, a chest of drawers, a cozy sofa, and a sports module. Based on this, designs are distinguished taking into account the complexity of their manufacture.
All types of products are equipped with a ladder. It comes in any shape and is attached to different parts of the bed: from the edge or in the middle. There are four types of stairs:
- In the form of a podium – reaches half the height of the bed and is equipped with shelves;
- Vertical - is the most common because it does not take up much space;
- Inclined - such models are more reliable and are located at any angle. Due to increased safety, it is used in children's rooms;
- A lifting mechanism instead of a ladder - in normal condition the sleeping place is located on top and the work area is free. If necessary, it is lowered down to the accepted level of the bed.
The models are equipped with the following working areas:
- A work desk is a set of furniture consisting of a metal bed and a desk underneath it. One of the most common and affordable models. In some models, the desk is made small. In this case, a chest of drawers with drawers for clothes is placed in the free space. Or vice versa, the desktop takes up all the space below, along with writing utensils and shelves. The working module can also be withdrawable. The table moves on wheels and is used in low models;
- Chest of drawers – this configuration is also often found, where a lot of space is allocated below for one or several chests of drawers. Suitable for small apartments. A chest of drawers with spacious drawers is placed under the stairs or bed. This allows you to store things without using up a lot of space. Made from wood. Metal structures are used less frequently;
- A loft bed with a work area in which a sofa is located. This allows you to equip additional space in the apartment for relaxation and save a little money. Separately, these items are more expensive and clutter the room.
- Play area – below there is an entertainment module for children. For example, a toy house or slide. Objects are made from wood, fabric and plastic. The lower zone is made completely free and children's toys and things can be stored there.
A popular module is the one where the lower tier is reserved for a sports complex, including a wall bars, parallel bars and a horizontal bar.
For two
It is possible to complement the design with another sleeping place. It is placed in different ways. The option with a sofa below allows you to receive guests and create conditions for a cozy sleep. It can be folding or not folding. If the sofa does not fold out, the lower tier turns into a small living room, and the work area is placed in another place. A folding sofa is chosen with a wide seat, which is used as a place to relax.
Models with two single beds are produced with fixed and roll-out beds. With stationary placement, the beds cannot change their position. They are shifted one relative to the other so that the person sleeping below does not feel discomfort. In the free space under the upper berth, chests of drawers with drawers for things are installed. With a roll-out mechanism, the bed is pulled out from the bottom and installed as convenient for the user.
Corner
This is a type of two-level design. In the work area there is a corner desk, corner cabinet or chest of drawers. There is a sleeping place on the second tier. The model has several types of staircase design. For example:
- Steps placed on the side in the form of a chest of drawers;
- An extension ladder in the form of several metal tubes;
- Inclined design, where each step protrudes above the bottom.
This is, first of all, a compact and multifunctional type of furniture that looks stylish in the interior and frees up space in small rooms.
Transformers
This is a type of design for children. On the top tier there is a sleeping place, and below there is a wardrobe, a desk, and shelves hidden under the bed. The lower space is transformed into a comfortable workspace by extending the table and bedside tables. The staircase is hidden under the sleeping place or made attached in the form of side steps.
A transformable loft bed is a compact piece of furniture that allows you to save free space in the nursery. It is functional and creates a bright interior in the room.
Models are made from various materials, manufacturers offer products in different colors and it is possible to supplement them with any additional elements.

It is unlikely that now you will be able to find furniture made entirely of natural wood.
These are mainly combined solutions.
- Tree
. Solid natural wood is objectively considered the best choice for creating furniture. Especially for children. The array is strong, reliable, safe and durable. The material is easy to care for. But the price will be the highest; - MDF
. It has proven itself well as a cheaper analogue of natural wood. Nowadays, most furniture is made from MDF or chipboard. MDF is durable, easy to maintain, and more natural than chipboard. Has many exterior design options; - Chipboard
. It is better not to take a bed entirely from chipboard. This is especially true for the frame of a two-story bed where the child will sleep. But laminated chipboard is perfect for cladding, for making chests of drawers, drawers, etc. This significantly reduces the cost of production.

A loft bed for two people not only allows you to easily solve the problem of saving and zoning space, but can also diversify the interior of the room, adding more originality and unusual details to it.
Where is the best place to place it?
The offered models easily fit into almost any interior. Their use is especially important in small rooms. A loft bed is perfect for studios where a bedroom, kitchen and living room are located in one room.
When placing the structure in a one-room apartment, more space is freed up for other interior items. The space below is used at your discretion and a wardrobe, chest of drawers, desk and much more are placed there. High ceilings make it possible to place the sleeping area at a considerable height, while freeing up the space underneath, filling it with a closet and a chest of drawers for things.
A loft bed, decorated in white shades, visually enlarges the room. Furniture in bright colors is purchased for children's rooms. In a room for a teenager, a two-level design with a spacious work area located below, where you can place a sofa, would look great. On the lower tier you can also make a wardrobe and drawers for bed linen.
