Round beds have long been very popular among consumers, as this model has a special charm and style. Not everyone decides to purchase just such a bed for their home; there are a number of reasons for this, which will be discussed in this publication. The article also contains information on how to choose a design, how to properly design a bedroom with a round bed, and how to create a round model yourself.
A round bed will invariably bring an extraordinary approach to bedroom interior design
Round beds: advantages of unusual designs
If you want to decorate your bedroom in an original way, you need to buy a bed of an unusual shape. The round product looks original and stylish. At first glance, it may seem that this model is not as convenient and comfortable as a conventional bed with a classic shape, but this is not entirely true.
Round beds tend to be more spacious than regular beds, so most of them have two free beds
A round bed in the bedroom, in addition to beauty and original design, has many advantages, namely:
- a large diameter bed is great for several people;
- the product looks original, creates a feeling of security, peace and quiet;
- a round bed is very comfortable, especially if a person tends to move unconsciously in his sleep;
- a round-shaped product is the optimal solution for studio apartments.
Previously, it was believed that these models were harmoniously suitable only for aristocratic styles, but numerous photographs of beds demonstrating the design of the bedroom are proof of the opposite. Round beds go well with interior design made in styles such as Provence, Empire, high-tech, art deco, empire and classic.
Decorating a room with a double round bed is not an easy task, but with perseverance and imagination, it is possible to solve this problem. The main difficulty lies in placing a structure of impressive size.
Round beds do not have sharp protrusions and, as a rule, are upholstered on all sides with soft material, which makes them as safe as possible
This is interesting! Round beds are often chosen for an elongated bedroom with a balcony. In this case, the sleeping bed has to be installed in a corner, but this is the best option, since a rectangular bed in a narrow room would leave bruises on the legs of its owners.
Design dimensions
Suitable sizes of round furniture are determined depending on the height of the person who will sleep on it. With a standard value of 175–178 cm, the diameter of the bed should not be less than 190–195 cm. It is even better to stop at two meters, since a small margin never hurts.
Rules for installing a hanging bed, design and additional elements
Both domestic and foreign furniture manufacturers are inclined to believe that the most optimal diameter of a round-shaped product varies from 200 to 280 cm. An indicator of 280 cm is perfect for a double bed model. The height ranges from 22 to 102 cm. There are models that are imperfectly round in shape, with non-standard dimensions, for example, 2950 x 2650 cm. This bed also looks very original and can become an accent addition to the interior.
A round bed for children has its own size standards:
- up to 3 years - 80–90 cm, for twins - 100 cm;
- from 3 to 5 years - 1 m;
- from 5 to 7 - 120 cm;
- from 7 to 12 - 140 cm;
- for teenagers - 160–170 cm.
To make sure you don’t go wrong with the size of the furniture, you should measure the person’s height and add about 30 cm to this value. In this case, the sleeping place will be comfortable and spacious.
Round bed in the interior: disadvantages of products
Due to their non-standard shape, round beds have a number of characteristics that must be taken into account when choosing a sleeping bed. Most people refuse such designs for the following reasons:
- round beds, in comparison with rectangular models, are always more expensive, since their price is determined by their special design;
- a mattress for such models must always be ordered separately, since round mattresses are rarely found on sale;
- bed linen for a round bed will also have to be sewn individually to order, but this may be even more profitable from a financial point of view than buying ready-made ones;
- a product of this shape is absolutely not suitable for a small bedroom, since after installing the bed there will be no free space at all, because the product has impressive dimensions;
Some models have a round bed, which can make it difficult to select a mattress and sheets for such beds
- round designs do not always fit harmoniously into the design of the room;
- for two you will need a fairly wide bed, otherwise sleeping on it will be uncomfortable.
Helpful advice! Designers recommend installing a round bed in a room with an area of 20-25 square meters or more. In practice, round structures are also used in bedrooms that have smaller dimensions. However, it should be remembered that a double bed in a small room will most likely take up all the free space, which can cause discomfort.
What types of round beds are there: photos of designs
The modern market has a wide range of round beds, as design imagination is limitless. The variety of round products is impressive, but the following models are considered the most popular:
- made of leather or leatherette;
- forged or wooden;
- with or without backrest and armrests;
There are a large number of different models of round beds - simple round, with a headboard, with sides, on a square and round base, etc.
- small, designed for relaxation, children's, single and double;
- solid or transformable;
- with or without laundry drawers;
- with or without legs;
- with a round or rectangular mattress located in the middle of the structure;
- various colors and colors;
- plain or with patterns and designs;
- corner shape with superstructures.
Folding models or transformable beds are perfect for small spaces: they free up additional space in the room and save space when assembled. In addition, such furniture is very beneficial for people who live in a one-room apartment, where a single room simultaneously serves as a bedroom, living room and hall.
The folding round design allows you to quickly and easily adjust the furniture to a specific situation. For example, a sofa bed with stand-up ottomans when disassembled is a round bed, and when extended it is a comfortable soft corner, between the elements of which a dining table can easily be placed.
Beds on a pedestal look unusual and original in the interior
If you choose a round bed with drawers for linen, you can avoid additional wardrobes and chests of drawers. It is also very convenient and profitable to use a corner bed with add-ons. This type of product is placed in the corner of the room, and the space above the headboard is used for shelves and whatnots. This option saves space and provides more opportunities for its decoration.
This is interesting! Hanging round beds look especially original and unusual. Invisible support and free edges create a feeling of floating above the ground. This model is ideal for young people and romantic people. The structure hanging on strong ropes looks harmonious in any design. If you install lighting in the floor, then an atmosphere of calm and tranquility will reign in the room.
"Tiny Size"
In old houses there are rooms that are truly microscopic in size. Or the residents themselves make a two-room apartment out of a one-room apartment, leaving a small nook for a bedroom. Usually there is only a bed and a small dressing table. It is almost impossible to decorate such a room, and if you don’t play with the decoration, there is a high risk of visually reducing the space even more. But there is nothing to lose - the bed can be anything you want, without regard to the rest of the furniture and accessories.
To make a small bedroom original, just add a round bed. You can create an ironic interior by choosing a classic lush bed, but it is better to stay true to minimalism and, saving space, choose the simplest round model without a podium. If you really want additional decor, choose a small contrasting headboard and colorful pillows for it.

Round transformable bed: miracles of design and technology
The main question that worries owners of a round bed is how to leave free space after installing it. In a bedroom with a round bed, you also need to place personal belongings, clothes, and decorative trinkets. The most practical option would be to use functional furniture, equipped with additional elements and places to store necessary things.
Modern models of round beds are equipped with the following elements designed for comfortable use:
- movable parts, thanks to which the sleeping bed can be turned into a sofa or a furniture set with a pouf, table and armchairs;
- lifting mechanism and built-in drawers for storing bed linen;

Typically the conversion process goes like this:
- The high headboard of the round bed lowers down and rests on the seat, occupying the same level as the armrests.
- The lower part rotates around its axis and is fixed. Hidden drawers for storing bed linen are hidden under it.
- The folded back and armrests form a semicircle and fit into the lower sector. In this case, all that remains of the headboard is a metal frame without soft upholstery, which can be covered with soft pillows.
Transformable beds are in greatest demand among young people, as this new product looks very stylish and original.
Typically, the frame of this model is made of metal and covered with plywood; high-quality latex is used as the sofa filler. For greater comfort, the sleeping area is covered with a protective cover. The dimensions of a round bed are usually from 2 to 2.5 m in diameter.
It is also very convenient if a round bed not only folds and unfolds, but also consists of several parts. For example, a solid bed can turn into a sofa and two triangular poufs. The special design prevents the component parts from moving apart during sleep. The advantage of this model is that the apartment is immediately equipped with all the necessary furniture.
Helpful advice! Conventional rectangular beds have the following parameters: width - from 160 to 190 cm, and length - from 180 to 210 cm. The standard diameter of this product is approximately 250 cm, and this corresponds to the area of a standard double bed. If the diameter of the structure is less than two meters, the round bed is considered a single bed.
Sleeping on a round sofa bed is not entirely comfortable, since the surface of the sleeping area is uneven
Installation
On legs - the perfect classic, despite the fact that several supports are needed. This installation model is acceptable if the bedroom is modern. The downside is that cleaning is a hassle.
On the podium there is a platform that is installed on the floor, round in shape. The mattress can be rectangular.
Suspended - attached to the ceiling with rods, freeing up space and thereby creating a special design.
Interior design of a room with a round double bed
First of all, you need to decide in which direction the headboard will be directed. After all, very often round-shaped beds have this element. The design of the room depends on the chosen direction.
If you decide to turn the head of the bed directly to the wall, it must be designed accordingly. For this you can use the following finishing materials:
- decorative plaster;
- photo wallpaper or fabric wallpaper;
- fake diamond;
- cork panels.
If a round bed has its head facing the wall, then the bed will take up a very large amount of usable space in the room. Designers advise placing the bed so that the headboard is in the corner. This will save space as much as possible and also create a unique and pleasant atmosphere. In this option, it is necessary to slightly round the corner of the room using drywall or a custom-made shelving unit.
To make it comfortable to sleep on a round bed, it must be of considerable size.
If the bedroom is large enough, then you can install the bed in the center of the room. This will make it possible to create an original composition where the bed occupies the main place. If the size of the room allows, then it is advisable to place such a product on a specially constructed podium. It can be equipped in such a way as to place drawers for storing various things in the formed step.
Additionally, it is recommended to install a round suspended ceiling and built-in lighting. You can spread a huge carpet on the floor, but it must be placed strictly in the center of the room. This bed looks harmonious in combination with bedside tables, armchairs and rounded chairs. So that the rest of the furniture in the bedroom does not attract attention, it should be built-in.
It is advisable to give a rounded shape to door and window openings or make rounded glass inserts in the doors. For even greater harmony of the interior, you can use decorative elements of the same shape, for example, pillows, clocks, photo frames or mirrors.
A round canopy bed looks very impressive, attractive and stylish. Photos of various options only confirm this fact. To arrange a canopy, you need to make a round frame, but with a larger diameter (compared to the size of the bed). This is how you can create a harmonious interior.
When planning the design of a bedroom with a round bed, you should take into account that it requires sufficient room space
Helpful advice! Designers say that round beds with a headboard are ideal for bedrooms decorated in any style. These models look beautiful in combination with a huge number of pillows and a fringed bedspread. It must be remembered that after placing the bed and other furniture there should be free space for movement. Round beds without a headboard fit harmoniously into the interior of a studio apartment, where the bedroom area is combined with the living room. This model is perfect for both gatherings and sleeping.
Lighting
Another way to create a round bedroom is to use lighting correctly.
The best way to do this is to make a round ceiling in the bedroom, into which you then build light sources around the perimeter and a chandelier in the center.
In this case, you will provide the right lighting, and the chandelier will become an important design element - an accent.
Linen for a round bed: photo of a beautifully designed product
A very important attribute for the interior of a bedroom, decorated in any style, is bed linen. The modern market offers a fairly large selection of mattress covers, sheets and bedspreads. You can order a sheet with an elastic band for a round bed at a regular tailor shop.
If you don’t want to search for round-shaped linen, then you can buy a round bed, but with a rectangular mattress. In this case, a rectangular or square bedspread and blanket will be suitable.
Bed linen should be harmoniously combined in color with the overall decor in the room
The color scheme of the linen should be in harmony with the overall design of the room. Bedding can have any shades and colors, be with patterns or plain, with geometric patterns or with images of wildlife. If the wall covering is made in pastel or light colors, then you can add color with a bright bedspread, which will draw attention to the original bed.
As for the material, lovers of modern trends prefer satin lingerie. The color range of this material is varied, and for a sheet with an elastic band it is better to choose stretch satin. Adherents of naturalness prefer linen or chintz. In this case, it is important to pay attention to the color fastness of the fabric so that it does not lose its appearance after the first wash.
A velvet bedspread with fringe or crystal beads is suitable for a bedroom decorated in a classic, baroque or rococo style. A rug with patterns and a lot of soft pillows will help to add oriental motifs to the interior.
It is not necessary to buy linen in the shape of a round bed; you can use the standard version
For a minimalist style, it is better to purchase a bedspread with elastic bands. This will avoid the appearance of folds that are unacceptable for this direction.
Helpful advice! It is not necessary to buy special linens for a round bed. A great design move is to use a regular double bed set. The sharp corners of the sheet can simply be lowered over the round mattress. It will look original and refresh the style of the bedroom.
Round beds: photos and prices, design features
It is difficult to answer the question of how much a round bed costs, since the price depends on many factors. Having the same characteristics as a rectangular bed, a round bed will cost about 15% more. Even the cost of a model of Chinese origin is at least 35-40 thousand rubles.
First of all, the price of a bed is influenced by the material from which it is made. A wooden structure is always more expensive than an iron product. A round bed made of steel without decorative parts costs about 15-17 thousand rubles. A model with decor in the form of artistic forging will cost 33-37 thousand rubles.
Due to the special design, the price of round beds is higher than average
Leather upholstery can significantly increase the cost of a bed. This model costs from 65 thousand rubles and above. Original products with a special lush design have a price of 140 thousand rubles.
You can purchase furniture both in online stores and in showrooms. The websites contain a description of the specific model, photos and prices of the bed, which is very convenient. But the second purchase option is preferable, since it provides the opportunity to verify in practice the comfort and quality of the bed.
Most furniture stores offer to purchase a mattress, pillows and bed linen along with the bed. The advantage of online stores is the price, which, compared to the cost of the same model in the showroom, will be significantly lower. Ikea round beds are extremely popular, due to their availability and reasonable price.
This is interesting! Children's round cribs made in Russia are much cheaper than their European counterparts. For example, a crib from a well-known foreign company has a price of up to 50-70 thousand rubles - and the model will be simple, without additional accessories that will have to be purchased additionally. A domestic multifunctional crib will cost three times less - approximately 25 thousand rubles. At the same time, the quality of the Russian model is not inferior to the foreign one.
The price of a round bed primarily depends on the material from which it is made.
