When decorating the interior of apartments, the corners of rooms often remain unused; the modern furniture industry offers special furniture that allows you to effectively use “dead” zones. Lately, corner beds have become increasingly in demand; this piece of furniture will fit perfectly into the interior of a nursery, bedroom and living room.
Corner bed in the bedroom
The bed is a key element of bedroom furniture. But this does not mean at all that the only right place for it is the center of the room. Corner models are becoming increasingly popular.
They take up minimal space, saving a significant amount of square meters. In addition, L-shaped furniture opens up the rest of the room, bringing airiness and style to the interior.
Corner chest of drawers in the bedroom
A corner chest of drawers in the bedroom, firstly, should provide placement of all the necessary items, and secondly, it should decorate the room. It's a great choice. Installed at the junction of two adjacent walls, it occupies a minimum of usable space and helps to rationally use empty corner space.
Another advantage of corner chests of drawers is the increased amount of storage space. This configuration allows you to place in them things of non-standard dimensions that do not fit into a conventional design.
Safety regulations
The design of a bunk corner bed with a sleeping system has a ladder along which children climb with great pleasure to the second floor. But along with the advantages of two-level beds, there is one important drawback - by its design, this is a very traumatic structure.
The selected bed is considered high quality and less dangerous if:
- The frame is made of strong wood or metal structures;
- The outer and inner surface of the bed, if you run your hand over it, should be smooth and well-finished;
- Existing sharp corners of furniture are rounded;
- All connections are made of a hidden type.
Among other things, it is imperative to note:
- The gaps between the structural elements of the bed should not allow the child’s fingers and head to be inserted into them so that they get stuck;
- The second floor must have a fence around the entire perimeter of sufficient height;
- The width of the entrance from the stairs to the upper tier should allow one to crawl through it freely;
- Steps must provide stable ascent and downward movement for both children and adults.
Basic safety rules when using bunk beds:
- Children under 6 years of age should be prohibited from climbing to and from the second tier without adult support. Coordination at this age is not yet confident enough, therefore, you should not sleep on the top bunk;
- Strictly prohibit children from playing outdoor games on the top floor and stairs of the bunk bed;
- Remind children that there are stairs to go upstairs, not the sides of the bed.
Any children's furniture should be made from environmentally friendly materials. It is made of natural wood or metal. Substances that are not toxic and harmful to the health of the child are used as paint coatings. An example is water-based varnishes - they do not cause allergies.
Before installing the purchased bed, you must adhere to the following generally accepted precautions:
- The product is pressed tightly against adjacent walls, thereby ensuring good stability of the bed;
- All connections after twisting are checked and tightened again;
- The ladder is firmly fixed to the furniture frame;
- The orthopedic mattress is laid directly on the base slats;
- Fences should not allow a child to squeeze through them.
With such a responsible approach to choice, a two-level corner will be a real decoration of the room and will ensure healthy sleep for its inhabitants.

The material of the facade plays an important role in the appearance of any element of furniture. Cabinet manufacturers use:

Interior styles for a corner bedroom

- Minimalism. The best choice in this case is to purchase a coupe model with clear geometry and a calm color scheme.

How to choose the size
The design of a bedroom with a corner bed can be royally luxurious, even with the modest dimensions of the apartment. It is enough to choose a velor base with a carriage screed and the room will look like the boudoir of a noble person. To use space wisely, you need to understand what size bed will satisfy the need for comfort and leave free space.
A sleeping place located in the corner will free up space for games and educational activities in the children's room. If a couple of children live in the bedroom, the beds can be placed on opposite sides of the center, placing a table between them. Due to the large length of 1.9-2 m, a corner bed can be used even in adolescence.
Standard sizes of corner beds (cm).
Single | One and a half | Double |
70×190 | 120×190 | 160×190 |
80×190 | 140×190 | 180×190 |
90×190 | 150×190 | 200×190 |
70×200 | 120×200 | 160×200 |
80×200 | 140×200 | 180×200 |

It should be taken into account that the width and length of a bed with a voluminous soft headboard will be 5-15 cm longer. Corner furniture is a simple way to ergonomically organize the space of a small room. A regular bed, which does not have protective barriers, forces a person not to occupy 10-20 cm from each edge of the bed. Intuitively, someone who falls asleep protects himself from falling. Choosing a model with a side allows you to use every centimeter of the sleeping space. If you are used to sleeping on a bed 2 m wide, you can safely choose a corner bed 1.8 m wide. It won’t be cramped, and an additional 20 cm will add more space to the room.
Compact furniture 120x200 cm located in the corner can become a family bed for a couple who is starting their journey in a small apartment. With such dimensions, the bed is suitable for two, but does not take up much space. Young people will sit together on the bed without hesitation.
Doors for corner bedroom
The cabinet you choose should be user-friendly. You should think in advance which method of opening doors is suitable in your case. Owners of small bedrooms should pay particular attention to this issue.
All corner models can be divided into two groups:
- With hinged doors. This is the traditional option. Such designs are distinguished by functionality, reliability and simplicity, and also easily fit into any style. They have one drawback - the need for free space to open the doors.
- With sliding doors. The sliding wardrobe is ergonomic and practical. It allows you to install other items of the bedroom set close to it. The downside of such furniture is that it does not protect things from dust. There is also a risk of wear on the roller mechanism.
When deciding on the idea of a corner bedroom, you should be thorough and patient. This choice affects the quality of your night's rest and overall success.
Therefore, you should definitely consult with an experienced designer before going to a furniture salon.
Possible additional functions
Additional functions of corner beds include:
- drawers;
- hidden shelves;
- built-in bedside shelf (it can be located at the head of the head or be retractable).
Occasionally there are models of round corner beds, which are sliding and form two small sofas. Such installations look very nice, but their functionality is controversial. As a sofa, the two halves of a round bed look unusual and fulfill their role perfectly, however, sleeping on such a bed can be uncomfortable due to the presence of a seam at the junction of the furniture parts. Moreover, parts of such furniture need to be fixed so that they do not move apart during sleep. Such models are most practical only in cases where they are used as sofas and used as spare beds for guests.
