Advantages of forged beds, features of combination with the interior

The Scandinavian manufacturer is a good helper when decorating any room: from the living room to the nursery and bedroom. If you are looking for bedroom furniture, even a small one, we will tell you how to choose a cool IKEA bed for your interior and show how they look in real photos.

Ikea wrought iron beds for adults: three popular types

Metal beds have always been popular among lovers of beautiful, interesting furniture. The company's specialists have developed a number of functional, durable steel bed options especially for connoisseurs of forged interior items. Let's look at the main characteristics of the best-selling IKEA beds.

Choosing the type of sleeping bed raises many discussions and questions.

"Leirvik"

Any bedroom will gain light, lightness and space with the advent of Leirvik. The beautiful headboard is made of bent rods, which helps create a special atmosphere in the bedroom.

The beautiful headboard is made of bent rods, which helps create a special atmosphere in the bedroom.

The mattress base made of birch slats serves as a durable holder, while the peculiarity of its structure helps distribute the load over the entire surface.

To ensure that a classic bedroom with a metal bed does not resemble a hospital ward or any other government institution, the interior can be supplemented with interesting accessories.

For this sleeping place you will need a mattress 2 meters long and 1.4 m wide.

Metal beds have always been popular among lovers of beautiful, interesting furniture.

"Kopardal"

A wide and comfortable sleeping area that fits perfectly into the interior. The model is made in the gray color popular among buyers. This color scheme gives you a lot of opportunities to create your own room style.

The model is made in the gray color popular among buyers.

All Kopardal parts are made of stainless steel, painted using powder coating technology. The parts are easily fastened together, since the possibility of self-assembly is provided.

"Musken"

Combined version of the IKEA wrought iron bed. Beds of this type combine a durable metal base with fiberboard sides.

Some types of beds look great in combination with decorative items made of stone or wood.

An interesting feature of the representatives of the Musken model range is the adjustable sides. Which is very convenient for installing mattresses of different sizes.

The parts are easily fastened together, since the possibility of self-assembly is provided.

Ikea wrought iron beds and their advantages:

• ease of assembly. All bed models are designed specifically for self-assembly. Moreover, each of the representatives of a certain line is accompanied by detailed illustrated instructions for assembly and installation;
• quick cleansing. The metal structure can be easily cleaned of dust using a damp cloth;
• safe materials. The parts are made of stainless steel coated with epoxy resin using powder coating technology. Due to this, all elements are highly resistant to mechanical damage.
• availability of additional accessories. In addition to the frames, the buyer can purchase brightly colored bedding or mattresses. In addition, it is possible to choose a bedside table or supplement the purchase with drawers for storing things. The drawers are also made of metal and are installed under the bed.

The metal structure can be easily cleaned of dust using a damp cloth.

For all their advantages, IKEA metal beds have one significant drawback - they creak. Creaking may occur as a result of improper assembly. But as many users note, this problem is easily solved with the help of machine oil, which can be used to lubricate the structure.

In addition to the frames, the buyer can purchase brightly colored bedding or mattresses.

Frame processing methods

The production of forged products today is carried out by two methods of material processing:

• Hot method. With this method, the finished metal is heated in a certain way to approximately 700 degrees, so that it becomes more ductile, and the product can be given the desired shape. This method can be performed either manually or using special equipment. Using the machine method, cast parts in the form of various elements, for example, flowers and leaves, twigs, are easily made from metal.
• Cold method. This method is also called “stamping”, since it requires a special machine to perform it. The stamping method allows you to produce products much faster than the manual version, and therefore they cost much less.

With modern interior design using forged products, designers more often began to use patination of metal parts and elements. In this case, the interior acquires a sort of stylish touch of antiquity, which always looks interesting and beautiful, and living next to such decor is cozy and pleasant.

You can learn more about how forged beds are made in the following video.

Criteria for choosing a good bed base

As a result, we will define the main criteria that you must pay attention to when purchasing a base:

• Frame type: collapsible or solid.
• Bed size - check that the dimensions of the base and frame match.
• Equipped with additional options: lifting mechanism, transformation system, vibration massage equipment.
• Quality of the mattress (a base with flexible slats will enhance orthopedic properties).
• Raw materials and materials used in production. If you are faced with the question of which bed base is better: wooden or metal, first of all, find out the type of wood and the thickness of the metal.
• Price level - this indicator is directly dependent on all of the listed criteria.

If you are choosing an orthopedic base, then you will have to understand all the intricacies and compare different options for lamellas. Also, do not forget about choosing the right mattress. Since we use the bed for a long time, before purchasing it is necessary to study the various types and design features of the bases.

Bed with drawers - 50 beautiful ideas

In the lower part, under the bed, there are one or two drawers that can be adapted for storing bedding or other things.

The photo shows a wooden bed with a mattress and two drawers that roll out on wheels. The cost of the product is 12,280 rubles.

Beds with side headrest

In a small room, when it is not possible to organize a sleeping place in the middle of the room, the best option is to use a bed with a side back. It is installed in a corner, and the back will protect wallpapered or painted walls from abrasion. When using models of this type, you can significantly increase the usable area.

The above bed from the Russian company Toris costs 47,689 rubles. The design is characterized by smooth corners and streamlined shape. All mattresses for this bed are guaranteed for 2 to 5 years, and for the base – 18 years.

Air beds

This is a relatively new type of bed, which few people perceive as a piece of furniture. Their main advantage is mobility and the ability to be stored in a folded position. After releasing the air from the chambers, the bed can be packed and hidden in a closet. An air mattress is convenient to use when there are often guests in the house or one of the family members comes home only for a short time, for example, on vacation or on vacation.

You can get detailed information about air beds from the following video:

The photo shows a one-and-a-half inflatable bed with a built-in pump, product width 152 cm, length 203 cm, height 35 cm. The sections of the bed are filled with air in a few minutes. The maximum load on the mattress is 273 kg, so it can easily accommodate two adults of heavy build. The cost of the product is 3150 rubles. The bed comes with a branded backpack, making it convenient to store and take with you on a long or short stay.

IKEA beds

A large selection of furniture is presented in the IKEA trading company catalog. The stylish metal bed costing 11,299 rubles, shown in the photo below, is suitable for a spacious, bright bedroom. The width of the bed is 148 cm, length – 209 cm.

IKEA furniture is relatively inexpensive; you can order it from the company’s catalog, which is regularly updated. Below in the photo you can see several beds from IKEA:

The “SMALL” model is a bed with a lifting mechanism. Under the slatted bottom there is a spacious box for storing blankets, pillows and other bedding. The price of the bed is 21,999 rubles.

BRIMNES bed with drawers, without a headboard, with height-adjustable sides, so you can use mattresses of various thicknesses. The cost of the product is 10,999 rubles.

Thanks to the huge variety of bed models, everyone can arrange their bedroom according to their own taste. The main thing is to give preference to quality products from well-known manufacturers. Such beds will become a real decoration of the interior and will guarantee a good night's rest.

Leirvik

Often metal beds look too heavy and rough. But the same cannot be said about the Leirvik model. Graceful curls on the wrought-iron headboard give it lightness and airiness. At the same time, the steel frame ensures the reliability and strength of the structure.

The height of the headboard allows you to sit comfortably on the bed. There is a footboard that will prevent the blanket from sliding onto the floor. The bed has high legs, which makes it easy to wipe off dust and wash the floor underneath. You can also use the space to store things by placing bed drawers there.

The Leirvik model is available in white in 2 versions:

• 140x200 cm;
• 160x200 cm.

The price of a Leirvik bed depends on the configuration and starts from RUB 7,999.

Advantages of the model:

• easy to assemble;
• sleek design;
• reliable and durable;
• no visible scratches.

Flaws:

• creaks;
• heavy in weight;
• unreliable legs.

Children (7-14 years old)

A large selection of loft beds at IKEA specifically for children. And this is not surprising, because often a children's room is designed to accommodate several children. And sometimes its dimensions do not allow placing a bed and a student’s work area there at the same time.

For children, for schoolchildren up to adolescence, you can watch them in the “Stuva” series. Models in this series include:

• frame (material – chipboard);
• desk with cabinet with drawers (2, 3 or 4 drawers);
• wardrobe and/or shelving.

The frame of this white model can be combined with cabinet and drawer fronts from other series of children's furniture - “Folya”, “Fritids”. But you can also buy it without fronts - with an open cabinet and shelving. See below for several options and prices.

The staircase of this model is part of the structure: it cannot be rearranged, the only possible location is on the right.

The desk can be turned around by placing it perpendicular to the bed.

Watch the review of “Stuva” in the video:

Brimnes

The compact Brimnes double bed is ideal for small bedrooms. It allows you to make the most of the available space. The basic set can be supplemented with drawers. They can successfully replace a chest of drawers if there is little space in the room. Bedside tables are not needed if you choose a set with a headboard equipped with built-in shelves. The minimalist design of the Brimnes double bed is suitable for interiors in different styles.

IKEA produces the Brimnes bed in white and black in sizes:

• 140x200 cm;
• 160x200 cm.

The price depends on the configuration and starts from 4,999 rubles.

Advantages:

• Stylish design suitable for different interiors;
• ease of assembly;
• functionality and practicality.

Flaws:

• creaks;
• the drawer handles have very sharp corners;
• Chipboard crumbles during use.

Colors

The manufacturer made sure that customers could choose a suitable bed not only depending on the size of the bedroom, but also its overall color scheme. It is the color palette of sleeping furniture from this manufacturer that is rightfully considered the widest today. The widest range includes white furniture. This can easily be explained by the fact that a bed in this color scheme is suitable for absolutely any area with any interior style. In addition to white, the manufacturer also actively uses the following colors:

• Beige in various shades - for making single and double beds for adults.
• Brown color in various tones is also used to make beds for both children and adults.
• Yellow, green, blue, orange and pink in various shades and degrees of brightness are used in the manufacture of children's furniture and couches of various sizes.

I would especially like to note that the manufacturer knows how to intelligently combine these colors with each other and create a truly beautiful sleeping place. In most cases, bright colors are used to decorate one part of the bed, for example, the legs or headboard, while the main part is made in more soothing colors. This approach to creating bedroom furniture helps create models that are ideal for any bedroom design.

Features and Benefits

Buying multifunctional furniture is a necessity when there is nowhere to accommodate frequent guests. And it does not always correspond to the taste and capabilities of buyers: sometimes the color is wrong, sometimes the price is too high, sometimes the mechanism is too complex. The Ikea brand is famous for its thoughtful furniture, which includes chair beds. These models are incredibly stylish, comfortable, practical and inexpensive - almost everyone can afford such a purchase.

The main advantages of folding chairs from the Swedish manufacturer:

• Environmental friendliness. For the production of furniture, Ikea uses only high-quality natural raw materials, so sleeping in such a chair will be safe and relaxing;
• Ease of use. The folding mechanism of the chair-bed is very simple: just lift it slightly from the floor and pull the seat towards you. Even an older child can cope with this;
• A thoughtful design allows a compact chair to turn into a full-fledged “single bed” and vice versa - the bed can easily be transformed into an armchair without a hint of a sleeping place;

• Strength. The frame of the chair is made of hollow steel tubes treated with powder coating. Therefore, Ikea chairs last a long time even with frequent use, during which the furniture does not creak or sag in the most unexpected places;
• The orthopedic river base with wide slats ensures healthy sleep and relaxation on the chair. Beech or birch armor (lamellas) take on the load from the weight and evenly distribute it onto the spine, and the armor holders firmly hold the structure;
• The mattress lining is polyurethane foam of varying degrees of hardness or “pocket” springs and latex filler;
• Removable chair covers make furniture care simple: just remove and wash the soiled fabric of the removable or mattress cover. And if the outer case gets boring or loses its attractive appearance, then it can be easily replaced with a new one;
• The universal style of the chairs allows them to complement the interior of any room - from a classic bedroom to an ultra-modern living room;
• Mobility. Needless to say, the Ikea chair-bed is easy to move around the apartment or even at home due to the built-in wheels (in some models) and their overall low weight;
• Affordable price of chairs - from 10,999 to 16,999 rubles.

Another advantage in favor of a chair-bed is that it does not need to allocate space in the apartment: it will fit in almost any corner of the room. Such furniture can replace a full-fledged sofa (the width of 80 cm allows this to be done) if 1-2 people live in an apartment or even in a tiny studio, where there is simply no place for a large piece of furniture to be located. In this case, the chair can be disassembled and accommodate guests by making a soft back from many pillows.

Price

At the very beginning of the article, we said that one of the advantages of Ikea beds is their affordable price. It will vary from manufacturing materials and upholstery fabrics, because each person has the opportunity to independently design their own bed using a special service on the official website. If we talk about prices for products already presented in the catalog, they are as follows:

1. The cost of a single bed ranges from 1,800 to 13,799 rubles.
2. Double beds have a price from 7,000 rubles to 24,000 rubles.
3. One-and-a-half-bed furniture is sold at a cost ranging from 3,000 to 8,000 rubles.
4. The cost of couches varies the most. So, the cheapest model has a price of 4,000 rubles, and the most expensive one costs 34,500 rubles.
5. The average cost of various beds with drawers ranges from 12,000 to 39,000 rubles.
6. Bunk beds and loft beds can be purchased at prices ranging from 10,000 to 40,000 rubles.

Popular models and their descriptions

If you enter the words IKEA attic bed photo into a search engine, in the pictures that appear you can easily mistake the same model for different pieces of furniture. It's all about the versatility of the “designers”. So, for example, the same Cure model can be a single- or double-tier bed or a bed with an attic structure. Adding a pink canopy will make a cute place for a girl to sleep. If it's dark blue, it's for a boy.

Ikea became famous for its simple furniture.

The height of the upper tier can easily be reduced to 1.16 m. In this position it is easier to make the bed or change the pillowcase and sheet. And before going to bed, the “second floor” can be raised higher again. The material used is solid pine. The model is quite strong and durable. The downside is the protective sides made of fiberboard.

Beds should be equipped with wooden sides to protect children.

Sturo. Another universal model. Easily converts into a loft bed with a sofa underneath from Ikea. It’s also easy to create an area for relaxation or study under the bed. A plus or minus, depending on the circumstances, can be considered the increased width - 1.53 meters.

The photo shows a bed for a small room.

Stuva. Popular, although not the most successful model. The stairs are on the right. It is equipped with different elements: a rack or cabinet, a cabinet and a table. Some elements can be easily swapped and supplemented with drawers and doors. In a matter of minutes, the design changes dramatically. Decoration in a “girly” style – in pink and beige tones. In “boy” colors – green, white, black. The main disadvantage is in particle board materials, fiberboard/chipboard.

An Ikea bed can be of any size, shape and color.

Dimensions

Dimensions easily change in height. This is one of the main advantages of Ikea furniture. The dimensions of the bed differ little from the standard ones, although there are models with a larger sleeping area. The dimensions of standard elements make it easy to transform products.

The design of the bed ergonomically organizes the space.

For example, an Ikea loft bed with a work area can turn into a bunk sleeping area in a matter of seconds. Or instead of a table and cabinet there will be a gaming space or a sofa.

Materials from which they are made

Frames are metal, wooden, fiberboard with a safe acrylic coating. Elements made from unreliable and short-lived chipboard are used very rarely.

Wooden models from Ikea are especially popular.

Basic materials:

• Metal (stainless steel).
• Solid wood (pine).
• Solid wood + fiberboard.

The most reliable and durable metal loft beds from Ikea.

Metal beds from Ikea are highly durable and durable.

Functional

The functionality of Ikea loft beds can be easily changed due to the interchangeability of structural elements and the ability to adjust the upper tier. In the same model, you can change the zones of the lower level and the height of the berth at least every day.

Furniture from Ikea is multifunctional, which is why it is in demand.

This is also convenient in terms of repairs - it is easier to replace a damaged loft bed module than to restore it. Even if the defect is easily corrected.

Price

Ikea loft beds are affordable. The cost of furniture as of the first half of 2022 using the example of several models.

Depending on the material, content, and functionality, the cost of loft beds changes.

Frames Vitval, Tuffing and Svarta - 16, 10 and 14 thousand rubles, respectively. Models with a working area - 26 and 33 thousand rubles for Stuva and Stuva/Freetids (depending on the number of drawers and shelves).

Options for children

The company did not ignore children, releasing a series of special models with a safe metal coating, which are not only very comfortable, but also multifunctional:

• “Minnen” - this bed has gained particular popularity in the children's line because it extends. The length of this model can be adjusted from 135 to 206 cm. This option is offered in white and black versions. The durable steel frame takes into account the hyperactivity of children and is able to withstand a modern teenager.
• “Svirta” is produced in two versions: a bunk bed (for a family with two or even three children, since this model, if necessary, can be supplemented with a third place - using a retractable mechanism) and a loft bed (under this design there is so much free space that you can place a desk, chair, play area).

• “Tuffing” is a two-tier model in a dark gray design, which (with a height of only 130 cm) will come in very handy in a low room. Safety is ensured by the upper sides in the form of a mesh and a reliable ladder - a universal couch, great for both children and adults. Its peculiarity is in a special mechanism that allows you to use this option as a bed when unfolded and as a sofa when assembled.

Wrought iron beds “Ikea”: models and their features

Isn't it a good morning? It happens if you have a good rest. By the way, as a result of a survey conducted by IKEA in 2014, about 60% of respondents maintain a positive attitude during the day if they managed to get enough sleep.

At the same time, 83% of respondents claim that the bedroom is the best place to recuperate or relax after a hard day. Therefore, thinking through the interior of a bedroom and selecting furniture is a responsible undertaking for our fellow citizens.

Expert opinion

Smirnova Ekaterina Anatolevna

7 years of experience in interior design, professional architect

Choosing the type of sleeping bed raises many discussions and questions. Especially if you plan to purchase not an ordinary wooden bed, but, for example, a metal Ikea bed.

Thinking through the interior of a bedroom, selecting furniture for our fellow citizens is a responsible undertaking.

Decor

But the manufacturer decided not to stop here either and offers various decor options for beds. For children, you can choose decor with sheep, lambs, flowers or cars. To decorate beds for adults, a variety of sets of flowers, curls and even inscriptions are presented. There is one feature here - you can either purchase a bed with the existing decor on it, or you can select additional elements from the manufacturer’s catalog to create it yourself. At the same time, using a special designer program, you can estimate in advance exactly how the bed will look after it is decorated.

The greatest demand for decor arises when purchasing sleeping places for children and teenagers, this is especially true in cases where the bedroom design itself has a specific thematic direction.

Models of IKEA bedroom sets in the interior

All IKEA furniture, without exception, is different:

• reliability;
• simplicity;
• durability.

We invite you to consider the most popular series of bedrooms from IKEA.

There are many different accessories for children's beds:

• Bright pockets with three compartments - one large and two small. You can put a tablet, phone, book, notepad and other personal items in them.
• Bed boxes with an interesting design that can be placed under the bed and provide additional storage space for bedding or toys.
• Soft and dense pillows for sleeping, as well as many decorative pillows to decorate the sleeping area.
• Blankets made of fleece or with insulating filling.
• Multi-colored bed linen with different prints and patterns, fitted sheets for pull-out beds, as well as bedspreads.

• Decorative pillow covers to match the curtains.

Varieties

Ikea produces such furniture in two categories: for babies from birth to three years and for the age group between 3-15 years. Models made of wood, mainly from environmentally friendly pine, have gained particular popularity.

Metal beds from the Minnen series are in good demand. Budget-friendly but short-lived options for sliding cribs are made from fiberboard or chipboard. All models of this revered company have a slatted bottom, for the manufacture of which only carefully processed pine wood boards are used.

Some inconveniences of sliding beds.

• None of the models produced by Ikea provide reliable protection for babies. Parents have to worry about safety while sleeping on their own by purchasing additional bumpers.
• Among the sliding beds of this brand there are no models with built-in boxes. To store things, you will have to purchase some furniture separately.

Additional accessories

The manufacturer also took care of additional equipment for the beds sold. Conventionally, they can be divided into two groups: the first includes products designed to decorate and protect new furniture, and the second - for replacing failed parts. It should be noted that this is also a nice bonus, because it is much cheaper and easier to repair something than to purchase it again. The first category includes:

• Protective sides. They will be especially indispensable when purchasing children's couches and beds, as well as loft beds. In these cases, they act as a protective barrier against falls and injuries from heights.
• Bed cover. Protects furniture from dust, dirt and moisture.
• Mattress cover. Its purchase will be relevant both when purchasing furniture with a mattress, and when purchasing it separately. Again, it will extend the life of the product and preserve its appearance.
• Bed sheets. There is no need to even comment here. The Ikea catalog presents a fairly wide range of such textiles.

The second group includes such accessories as:

• Storage boxes under the bed, which can be used instead of standard linen or on their own.
• Solid slatted bottom or individual slats. Sometimes the bottom or some of its slats fail due to improper use or exceeding the maximum load. In these cases, such spare parts will be very useful.
• Removable side. This is relevant for all beds and couches that have side rails or a headboard.
• Breakfast table. It is especially popular among those who purchase double beds.
• Mattress. It will also be a pleasant accessory for owners of “growing” beds.

Pros of a mobile bed for sleeping

Modern folding beds with a mattress from IKEA are completely different from their predecessors.

Both experts and consumers note the following advantages of simple devices:

• low price;
• ease of use;
• strength and reliability;
• sustainability.

The most important advantage is the included mattress. According to manufacturers, the products can withstand weights of up to 120 kg. They can accommodate an adult quite comfortably. Stable legs do not wobble and stand firmly on the floor.

An additional lock prevents the folding bed from opening when it is folded.

Modern assortment

Modern manufacturers offer to choose the appropriate option from a wide range of existing models. Products may differ in configuration and color scheme. As a rule, several color options are offered.

In most cases, such products are made from chipboard - chipboard, which is covered with a layer of thin colored laminate. This is precisely the decor thanks to which you can choose a table in the color of wenge, alder, beech or any other color offered to your attention. The configuration and content of the model you choose should take into account your needs, as well as the number of documents and equipment that you plan to place on your table with a rack.

Buying a chipboard table is quite simple, but you need to decide what office equipment will be placed on it. Quite often, many models come with special add-ons for scanners, phones and other equipment. Convenient drawers and spacious compartments are used for papers, which are hidden behind blind doors.

Color solutions

The white bed is the most popular model, and it doesn’t matter whether it has a storage system or is made entirely of metal. Along with white is the black-brown shade of furniture, in which all wooden models are produced (including beds made of chipboard)

A more natural and natural shade is “bleached oak”, which follows the pattern of wood and has dark inclusions on the surface. Untreated solid birch will also add a touch of environmental friendliness and cleanliness to the bedroom interior, as will natural veneer in the decoration: light oak or dark ash.

The adult double bed is available in standard sizes:

• 140 x 200 cm;
• 160 x 200 cm;
• 180 x 200 cm.

Children's loft models have a sleeping area of ​​90 x 200 cm.

How to make a chair for a balcony with your own hands

For those who do not have the opportunity to go to Ikea for modern interior items, and the range of local furniture stores leaves much to be desired, designers advise not to be upset and try to make simple models yourself.

For example, you can definitely bring to life the following ideas for sofas for the balcony:

1. Chair-box made of plywood sheets (option with built-in drawers is possible) with soft upholstery;
2. An armchair made from wooden fruit or vegetable boxes;
3. A chair based on an old swing, a car seat, a well-shaped chair, etc.;
4. Hammock chair suspended on strong ropes;
5. A bean bag chair, custom-made to fit perfectly into the interior of your balcony.

Any of these options can often be seen in detailed master classes and magazines about renovation and design. And to make your idea truly interesting and original, use unusual materials as a basis - the frame of an old chair, another armchair, antique fabric or even parts of an unnecessary wardrobe!

How to furnish a nursery using IKEA products

Combine IKEA with other brands in the interior of the nursery

To prevent the room from looking like the photo in the Swedish manufacturer’s catalog, you shouldn’t get carried away with its products. A sign of good taste is a combination of products from different manufacturers. In fact, this advice applies to arranging any room in an apartment, not just a child’s room.
