How to choose a wooden bed made of solid wood, photo review of options

Choosing colors for the bedroom

For shabby chic it’s worth:

• Decorate the walls in a milky shade. To do this, you can use either special wood paints, which are applied in one layer so that natural wood flows through them. Or use white oil.
• It is advisable to choose milky textiles with a floral pattern in pastel colors, for example, soft pistachio, blue, light yellow, coral.

For a minimalist style:

• A combination of natural wood surfaces is suitable or they can be painted white.
• The remaining elements should be made in calm shades; straw, coral, pistachio, gray-pearl are suitable.
• It is worth using a small number of shades so as not to oversaturate the space.

For Provence, Swiss chalet and rustic, suitable:

• Lactic.
• Chocolate.
• Natural color of natural wood.
• Pistachio.
• Straw.
• Olive.
• Coral.

But keep in mind that the base must be in a milky-brown color scheme.

For the high-tech style, the space will have to be modified the most, in terms of bringing it to the desired color solution:

• The walls will either have to be made as light as possible, or, conversely, darkened.
• The number of colors used should be minimal and strive for an achromatic range. That is, white, gray, neutral brown and black tones predominate in the decoration.
• Other colors can only be used as focal points, but they should be small in size so as not to overwhelm the rest of the color scheme in the space.

Mirror

This technique is most often used in small rooms to visually expand the space. The mirror cannot be used in its pure form. Aged models or asymmetrical figures with a reflective surface look original. They will help you decorate your bedroom in the spirit of aristocracy.

If you want to create a more modern interior, then it is better to use mirrors in their pure form or in the form of a mosaic for the head of the bed.

Bedroom

A comfortable, durable, attractive double bed is undoubtedly the central figure of the entire bedroom. Wooden models, due to their environmental friendliness, will fill the room with naturalness, freshness and a pleasant smell.

Children's

For a teenager's room, roll-out models, transformable beds, single beds or one and a half beds would be an excellent option. For a boy's or girl's nursery, a loft bed equipped with reliable sides or stylized products, for example, in the form of a house, boat, pirate ship or car bed, is suitable.

Living room

In a one-room apartment in the living room, they often use a compact folding sofa bed, a lift-up bed, or, if there is a child, they equip the room with a playpen bed or a transforming model.

Rules for creating a cozy bedroom in a wooden house

To make a bedroom in a wooden house as comfortable as possible, but at the same time not lack ergonomics, you must follow these basic rules:

It is desirable that the style of this room matches the design of the rest of the cottage

This will create a single harmonious space that will be logical and complete. Inside this room, it is necessary to very competently distribute all the zones. Place a bed at the most important point, from which you need to build on and arrange all other interior elements. It is important to pay attention to the fact that there must be free passages to the bed on all sides. Under no circumstances should you overload the space with elements, as this creates psychological discomfort. On the other hand, a minimum of furniture can cause certain negative emotions. Therefore, in this regard, it is worth maintaining an optimal balance. Since the wood itself, which is present on the walls, floor and ceiling, sets the color scheme, you should not try to drown it out with other elements of furniture and decor. It is better to effectively complement and emphasize it.

Always remember that almost any interior can be realized in a bedroom made of timber, but there are still those that are most suitable for this, since they do not require significant additional financial investments and alterations.

Sizing

Bed size is the first step in this work. The amount and size of the material used during assembly will depend on it. It is true that self-assembly makes it possible to make a frame of any shape and size. However, everything should fit well with the size of the mattress.

For this reason, beds most often have dimensions of 160x200 or 180x200 cm. You can also make the bed narrower, but in this case comfort during sleep will suffer.

In the case of creating a model of non-standard sizes, you need to take into account the need to order mattresses separately, which, fortunately, is offered by an increasing number of manufacturers. Bed size should also be determined by individual characteristics, such as height or weight.

There are mattresses on sale in standard sizes (width from 60 to 200 cm). Buying a mattress of an unusual size will require you to make a custom order, which will increase costs.

In terms of height, it is suggested that the top edge should be 40-50 above ground level for comfort. However, this is an individual matter, so it is better to completely adjust the height according to your needs and requirements.

Choosing a ceiling in the bedroom

The ceiling is an important part of any room. And the bedroom is no exception. Next we will look at some types of ceilings.

Tension and fabric

Pros: you don’t have to remove defects from the old ceiling, they are easy to maintain.

To zone a room, you can use stretch ceiling inserts placed between plasterboard structures

You need to think about lighting in advance. After completing the installation work, holes for the lamps are cut

It is worth paying attention to the quality of the material and not using Chinese counterfeits

Plasterboard structures

Drywall is easy to process, which gives room for imagination in design.

Plasterboard structures allow you to realize a wide variety of design ideas

The cost depends on the hanging mechanism and external finishing. It is the finishing that can greatly increase the price of the ceiling.

Painted ceilings

Classic option. The advantages include low cost. But, unfortunately, such a ceiling will not last long. Cracks may appear and paint may fade or yellow. At the same time, preparation for painting is quite complicated.

A smooth painted ceiling is a suitable option for a room of modest size

Other types

These include no less popular methods of finishing the ceiling: gluing wallpaper, putty, ceiling tiles made of PVC and MDF.

The ceiling made of laminated panels with imitation of natural wood looks original

It’s clear to say that it’s impossible to do better; you need to take into account many nuances, such as height, room size, etc.

Finishing

There are several options for decorating the interior of a bedroom in a wooden house; they differ in the finishing, chosen palette and style direction.

Floor

In a house made of timber, the floors are usually covered with wood - parquet. And they don’t have to be changed, since the bedroom is not an aggressive environment, and they don’t spend much time here. So the wear resistance of materials may be low.

An analogue of parquet is laminate, and it can also be used in decoration. This will reduce the budget for repairs. However, it is better to choose an expensive product that is as similar as possible to natural wood, so that the contrast between the beams, wall covering, if you decide to leave wood, and the floor is not visible.

Ceiling

This is the most interesting part of the decoration. Our advice, which concerns a city apartment: the best ceiling is the simplest matte white, does not apply to the design of a bedroom in a wooden house. You can afford to experiment.

Exposed beams. Today, this option is not considered a draft, even if the room is on the floor and not in the attic. Beams are relevant in all styles: from rustic to neoclassical. The only difference is in the type of wood and its processing: in some rooms, untreated timber looks better. Overlappings add zest and complicate the interior a little. By the way, if beams on the ceiling are not initially provided, they can be made, for example, from wood or polyurethane

But if you decide on an analogue, pay attention to the quality of workmanship and materials: the contrast, again, should not be obvious. Flat board. Such a ceiling, if it is painted white, is practically no different in appearance from, for example, a suspended ceiling

Only the texture gives it away. However, in the interior of a bedroom in a wooden house, options made from unpainted natural boards also look good, especially if the room is spacious.

When arranging the ceiling, it is important to consider not only the material of manufacture, but also its shape. In attic rooms, untreated beams sometimes look quite rough and create a pressing effect

If you like it, you can safely leave the ceiling like this. However, if you prefer neater interiors, use treated boards.

Walls

Like the ceiling, the walls can be finished in different ways.

• Natural board. An option for those who appreciate the natural structure of wood. To preserve it, the walls are coated with varnish or oil - these are the safest materials from an environmental point of view. To extend their lifespan, be sure to use primer as most manufacturers recommend.
• Painted wood. White looks especially impressive in the interior of a bedroom in a wooden house in an attic filled with sunlight. It gives the room lightness and airiness. In addition, this is an excellent background for decorating almost any interior: Scandinavian, modern or Provence.
• Wallpaper or paint. It may seem to you that these are dubious options: why build a house out of wood and then cover it with paint or wallpaper? We agree, but we still recommend considering this option as an accent option, in case the rustic style is not close to you. An accent can also be a wall made of clapboard or timber.

For small rooms, it is better to choose the same finish for the walls, ceiling and floor. Then such space does not look overloaded. If pastel and light shades are used, this will even help to visually enlarge the room. Do not forget about impregnation against insects: they are one of the main threats to soft wood.

Such different breeds

The beauty of wood flooring has been used for many centuries. Combining different species, craftsmen create a mosaic of amazing harmony of colors: walnut, chocolate, terracotta and ocher tones perfectly match each other. When buying a solid oak bed, pay attention to the solid structure and smoothness of the material. Oak is a hard wood. It easily tolerates room humidity and is not subject to mechanical damage, if the manufacturer did not violate the drying and wood processing technologies when making the bed from solid wood.

Continuing the conversation about properties, we note the quality characteristics of a bed made of solid birch. It is inferior to oak in cost, but has slightly lower consumer properties:

• antifungal properties;
• bactericidal properties;
• reliability and wear resistance;
• dense and light wood with a unique pattern.

The last parameter is determined by the ratio of the volume and mass of the tree.

Pine is a wonderful material for making furniture, easy to machine and paint.

A healthy microclimate and a slight smell of pine needles in the bedroom will be provided by a bunk bed made of solid pine. Shades from yellow-beige to light gold with pinkish streaks will decorate any interior from classic to ultra-fashionable antique.

This is a budget option for a nursery (for example, a bunk bed made of solid pine), kitchen and utility rooms. It tolerates moisture well because it contains a sufficient amount of fragrant resin in fibers that have water-repellent properties. Wide double beds and soft single beds made of solid pine – buyers often choose these options for cottages and country houses, replacing once fashionable sofas.

Ash is another valuable, hard wood. Has excellent decorative qualities. The distinct contrasting texture does not change color when varnished or coated with oil compositions. It tolerates bleaching and dyeing well: the paint lays down evenly even with a single application. Ideal for decorating antique furniture, withstanding sanding and carving. The latter often decorates the backs and armrests of chairs and sofas. Therefore, a solid ash bed with a lifting mechanism can please even the most demanding buyer. The high cost, compared to products made from birch and pine, is paid off by a long service life and impeccable appearance.

Peculiarities

Furniture made from natural wood has always been valuable. And even in the age of high-tech materials, wooden furniture remains in demand and desired. The main advantage of such interior items is their environmental friendliness. Today, not all materials from which furniture is made can boast of this quality. In the production process of wooden products, hazardous and harmful chemicals are not used, as is, for example, the case with MDF sheets, which contain formaldehyde resins.

However, it is worth noting the high cost of such beds. Not every consumer can afford them. But those people who decided not to skimp on their health and purchased such products were satisfied with their purchases. Experts say that such interior items have an extremely beneficial effect on the human psyche and calm the nervous system.

It is impossible not to note the unsurpassed appearance of such furniture. With the help of a beautiful wooden double bed, you can create a very pleasant, cozy atmosphere and harmonious interior, in which being in will bring a lot of pleasure. Such models look great in many interiors. It could be classic, rustic country or French Provence. You can choose the appropriate option for any situation.

Most wood species require special care:

• The surfaces of such beds must be regularly treated with special protective impregnations, which will preserve the natural material from negative external influences, temperature changes and wood parasites.
• If you do not take care of such furniture, then over time it may crack and lose color.
• Such impregnations are also necessary to comply with fire safety. It's no secret that wood is flammable. Using high-quality products, you can make this material more fireproof.

Modern manufacturers produce a huge number of different models of double beds made from natural materials. They have different configurations and differ from each other in size and shape.

Manufacturing materials

Solid wood is completely natural wood. Products made from it are characterized by continuous filling and a fairly high cost. The technical indicators of such furniture are very good. Models are usually classified according to their degree of hardness and strength.

Soft wood species include: willow, fir, spruce, pine and alder. This wood is flexible, lends itself well to processing, sanding, and decorating with carvings. Beds made from soft rocks are the most inexpensive.

Hard wood species include: beech, birch, elm, ash, aspen. Most often, beds are made of beech and ash, as they have a particularly beautiful texture. These rocks are used to create elegant models with bent elements.

Superhard species are oak, dogwood, hornbeam, boxwood, and white acacia. They create real masterpieces that will last for centuries, very durable, reliable and resistant to rotting. The cost of such models is very high.

You need to choose the material based on your own preferences and budget.

Pine

This familiar material, despite its apparent simplicity at first glance, is in fact in no way inferior to rare wood in terms of health benefits. Conifers are capable of releasing beneficial phytoncides into the air, thereby creating a favorable microclimate in the bedroom. This helps strengthen the body’s protective functions, allowing it to better resist viruses and colds.

Pine wood is very beautiful by nature and does not require the use of chemical varnishes and paints. Often, pine models are only carefully sanded, emphasizing the beauty and aesthetics of the natural material.

One of the disadvantages is that such furniture is easy to scratch. In some places the wood has different shades. When heated, resin may be released if the raw materials were chosen incorrectly during production.

A single bed made of pine is perfect for furnishing a bedroom in a rustic style.

Alder

Alder furniture has a pleasant shade and pronounced natural texture. The advantages include its increased resistance to moisture. This wood does not absorb odors, does not deform or crack. Since alder is very malleable to processing, manufacturers often achieve amazing results, giving it a resemblance to more valuable species - cherry, mahogany, Italian walnut.

Disadvantages include a lack of strength and elasticity, and susceptibility to rotting. An alder bed will fit perfectly into an antique interior.

Hevea

The tropical tree is often called Malaysian oak. This wood has a very elegant natural tone and excellent texture. It is particularly durable and resistant to moisture and temperature changes. Another name for Hevea is “rubber tree,” which explains the high hardness of the material. Furniture made from it is not afraid of wood-boring beetles, which simply avoid this wood. Among the disadvantages of such products, one can note their high cost.

A Hevea bed will organically fit into a classic and modern interior.

Ash

This species is superior to oak in hardness. It lends itself well to processing, is distinguished by elasticity and a beautiful characteristic pattern, bright expression of fibers and a rich color palette (from soft pinkish, gray and yellow tones to dark red and purple). Products made from ash do not require additional tinting; they are usually treated only with colorless furniture varnish. Due to the porosity of wood, manufacturers often create furniture from it with a patina effect.

Ash wood is resistant to mechanical stress and is difficult to scratch. Disadvantages include low resistance to moisture, vulnerability to bacterial damage and the high cost of products.

A bed made of ash has a solid appearance, looks impressive and elegant, and will easily fit into various interiors: from classic to modern.

Birch

Birch wood is light with a natural golden-honey hue and has a uniform structure. Manufacturers create imitations from it to resemble rarer breeds. For example, staining technology is used to create the appearance of expensive mahogany.

A birch bed with proper care will last at least 30 years. The array is characterized by strength and elasticity, good resistance to fungi and various bacteria. The advantage of birch products is their affordable cost.

The main disadvantage is increased exposure to moisture, which leads to rotting of the wood and its rapid deformation. It is not resistant to mechanical stress and must be protected from impacts.

Birch furniture looks light and elegant and fits well into modern bedroom interiors.

Oak

Oak furniture has always been associated with good quality, prosperity, and solidity. This wood is very dense and therefore difficult to process. But oak furniture rightfully occupies the highest level in the wooden products market. A double bed with a beautiful headboard is an excellent acquisition that can become a family heirloom over time. The color of wood becomes even more beautiful over the years, acquiring noble dark shades. Oak is not afraid of changes in temperature and humidity, and is resistant to rotting.

The disadvantages of such furniture are the high price and the tendency to fade when exposed to direct sunlight. Natural dark and light shades of oak allow you to choose a bed according to your taste and taking into account the overall style of the bedroom interior.

Cedar

A cedar bed will add an unusually pleasant atmosphere to the interior. Thanks to the ability of wood to release useful substances into the air - phytoncides, such a bedroom will always have clean and healthy air, which is especially useful for those who have problems with the bronchi and heart.

The only downside is that the resinous substances released by wood can sometimes cause allergic reactions. Therefore, before buying a children's bed made of cedar, it is advisable to find out whether the household members have allergies.

Beech

A beech bed is not inferior in its technical characteristics to oak beds, and is more affordable in price. The color of the wood is very beautiful - light brown with a red or yellowish tint. When heated, beech turns red, which allows manufacturers to imitate valuable mahogany. The material lends itself well but has a significant drawback - in the absence of moisture it can crack. Therefore, a beech bed cannot be placed near a heating radiator.

In style, the product will fit perfectly into classic and close-to-classic interiors - baroque or empire.

Flat grooved thread

This type of woodworking means that the main background remains flat, and the carving elements appear to be embedded into it. There are several main types of this technique:

• contour carving - only the outline of objects is cut out, their main surface is level with the background;
• staple thread - the pattern in this case is created using cuts in the form of brackets located in different directions, made with a special tool;
• black varnish carving - the work is carried out on a surface coated initially with black varnish, thus creating an extraordinary play of contrasts;
• geometric carving - this technique is based on straight lines and combinations of various shapes that are intertwined into an intricate pattern.

Styles and options

The richest and most luxurious is the classic bedroom in light colors. A spacious, airy bedroom with white wood, light beige curtains and cream bedspreads, reminiscent of the empress's bedchamber

To prevent such a room from looking like a single white mass, it is important to combine shades.

Classic bedrooms in dark, noble colors look chic. This could be dark wood for furniture, as well as dark shades in the design. The main color should be one - for example, dark cherry, burgundy, wine, purple, dark brown, deep blue.

This color can predominate in bedspreads, curtains, and wall coverings. And as bright accents - a lighter shade, but in the same range. Light pillows, carpet, flowers and vases, candlesticks and figurines.

Gold and natural beige are the colors of the imperial bedroom. Shades of natural light wood combine perfectly with gold. Textile compositions can be in sand, beige, powdery tones with the addition of soft pink. And individual elements are gold or bronze - for example, picture frames or mirrors, vases, figurines.

Paintings

This method of decorating a headboard was popular in past centuries. It is also often found in modern apartments. The main thing is to choose the right photo or painting that will become a bright accent in the bedroom, but will not look too bulky and inappropriate.

To complete the image, you need to choose a beautiful frame to match the canvas.

Materials

The following types of wood are used to produce high-quality bedroom furniture:

Pine. This breed is healing and has a healing effect on the human body. It has been used in furniture making since ancient times. Pine is very durable due to its resinous composition. A bed made from such natural material will last a very long time and will not lose its attractive appearance if used carefully. It is worth noting the resistance of pine to the negative effects of insects and other tree parasites. Many consumers choose pine furniture, as it is affordable.

Which wallpaper to choose for the bedroom

If we consider the issue of choosing wallpaper from the point of view of environmental friendliness, then paper wallpaper is suitable. Despite the cheapness and abundance of colors, these wallpapers fade very quickly in the sun. Therefore, many avoid them, preferring more expensive options.

Bright wallpaper is perfect for creating accents in the interior of a bedroom

Vinyl wallpaper is made from a denser material. This helps hide defects in wall panels. This wallpaper applies easily, without so-called “bubbles”.

Non-woven ones are suitable for those who like to constantly change something. The material of this wallpaper allows it to be repainted up to 15 times!

Photo wallpaper with a realistic image creates the effect of a large window - such a bedroom does not need additional decor

Another environmentally friendly wallpaper is fabric. This is the most expensive option. Perfect for highlighting the richness of the interior.

Interior styles for a white bedroom

White color is universal. Almost all styles are friends with him:

• luxurious classic. In a classic style, white furniture looks luxurious and rich. It is decorated with gilding, scrollwork and carved patterns;
• laconic Japanese style;
• pretentious empire style;
• deliberately simple minimalism;
• Scandinavian and Mediterranean style;
• gentle Provence and shabby chic;
• ultra-modern trends: hi-tech, pop art.

In rustic or loft bedrooms, natural shades are more favored, but a wardrobe made of bleached wood, a bed from the same set, complemented by eco-style items, are also possible.

The beauty of the white shade is that it is the base. And what happens in the end depends on the imagination of the designer and the desire of the owner of the bedroom. You can dilute it with decorative elements, other colors, or leave it as is.

Types of headboards

A bedroom is a place in an apartment where a person can get a good night’s sleep before a new working day. Therefore, every detail in the room should be conducive to relaxation. When entering the bedroom, the first thing that catches your eye is the bed.

Headboard

When choosing a headrest, the specifics of the room are also taken into account. Based on this, the optimal method of fastening the structure is selected. Some models are installed on furniture, others are mounted on the wall. Design techniques are also known when, instead of a classic headboard, decorative screens, boards, plasterboard structures or other objects unusual for the room were placed in its place.

• country. Depending on the type of interior, the wooden headrest can be painted in any shade. The direction is characterized by everything natural, so the headboard is simply slightly tinted, which emphasizes the natural texture of the material;
• Baroque, Rococo and Classic. In rooms with such interiors, high headboards with additional decorative elements, upholstery and carved details look good;
• minimalism. The plank structure is painted in dark shades. The back is not complemented by other details or decorations. Photo wallpaper can be placed behind it;
• shabby chic. To emphasize the design and make an accent, the headboard is made in the shape of a rectangle. It is best if the bed itself and the headrest are made in light shades.

Headboards made of soft materials are made in standard rectangular shapes or decorative ones. The main thing is to correctly calculate the width of the bed in order to choose the optimal backrest option. It can be made not strictly according to the size of the sleeping place, but can be a little larger. This technique looks very impressive.

Decorating the head of the bed with a mirror

The shape and size of the headboard depends on the designer’s idea. A soft headboard in the shape of a crown looks very unusual, but at the same time impressive. To create a piece of furniture, the following types of materials are usually used:

• Genuine Leather;
• suede;
• velours;
• eco leather.

The headboard can be covered with drapery. The fabric, gathered like a curtain, will create a cozy and relaxing atmosphere that promotes proper rest and sleep.

Designer

Sometimes you want to move away from the classic options of soft and hard headboards that are familiar to most people. In this case, designer headrests will come to the rescue. They may consist of:

• decorative panels;
• mirrors;
• slate board;
• screens;
• and other interesting and unusual paraphernalia.

Decorating the headboard with books

The main advantage of this design is that the headboard can easily be made with your own hands from scrap materials. But when making an original backrest, special attention must be paid to reliability and strength. Usually such things turn out to be quite fragile and non-functional. These qualities are their weaknesses.

Decorating a wicker headboard

Special attention should be paid to high backs. Usually they are attached directly to the wall, and the bed is simply placed next to it. The headboard will add a special charm to the room. The first thing that such furniture will be associated with is a royal bed. On it you can feel like a real and powerful ruler, which will give you self-confidence.

Sculpture technique

This type of carving is most often used to decorate bed legs or balusters, with the help of which a canopy or canopy is held over the bed. Three-dimensional figures are cut out with extreme precision and become independent works of art.

When decorating backs, this technique is also sometimes used, but then the figures almost completely protrude above the general background and begin to live their own life.

This technique does not have specific varieties, but differs based on territoriality and belonging to the school of masters. Sculptures of a natural nature are known: plants, trees, animals and birds; human figures; religious images and battle scenes. This type of craftsmanship requires high qualifications, so each pattern is made in only one copy and is considered a real work of art.

Suitable styles for bedroom design in a wooden house made of timber

Style is another important factor to consider when decorating this room.

Provence

Charming Provence, just like shabby chic, is the embodiment of the romance of the French countryside. And wood in such interiors is one of the key finishing materials. It can be left in its natural texture or painted in light colors: white, beige, pastel pink, dirty blue. Accent wallpaper with an unobtrusive print is also appropriate for decoration.

In addition to finishing, special attention should be paid to decor and details. Provence is characterized by textiles with flowers or checks, lace trim, knitwear and embroidery

Pay attention to the furniture: the bed can be elegant wooden or wrought iron. The same applies to the choice of bedside tables or wardrobe for storing clothes.

Modern style

In the modern design of a bedroom on the attic floor of a wooden house, lining or polished timber is most often used, since the decoration here is the background for brighter furniture and accessories. However, it is not uncommon to see untouched ceiling beams that stand out against a light background.

If light colors were used in the main design, then the bed or, for example, armchairs, as well as bedside tables can be contrasting. The same applies to textiles, including carpet.

You can also use another technique: match the furniture to the color of the walls, then the interior will stand out due to the textures. It’s difficult to do this yourself with natural wood, but if the walls and floor are painted, then you can try.

You can complement the room with interesting bedside lamps, metal or textile lampshades. The question of what kind of wiring to do in a private house, open or closed, is decided at the design stage, and the model of the lampshades depends on this.

Scandinavian
