An original bed is a real find for a modern interior

Many modern beds have unusual designs. They can be of any shape, with different accessories and from different materials. Some models make you wonder, others - tenderness, and some cause bewilderment - how to sleep on them?! Let's get to know them better.

Beautiful bed in the bedroom

Depending on individual preferences, beautiful traditional products made from solid expensive wood, upholstered beds or forged models are chosen for the bedroom interior. Any variety has its advantages and is suitable for a specific interior.

Upholstered products are becoming increasingly popular. They are distinguished not only by practicality, but also by safety. It is almost impossible to get hurt on the soft edge of the bed, which is important for families with children.

The model, covered with textiles around the perimeter, looks expensive and stylish. It seems to make you sleepy. Products with bright upholstery can become the main accent of the bedroom. Luxury lovers choose beds with soft upholstery made of genuine leather with headboards decorated with quilting. The frame is softened by a layer of polyurethane foam, which is a harmless material.

Bed models with wrought-iron frames are suitable for both country and shabby chic interiors, as well as minimalist bedrooms. The art of forging has reached a new level; it allows you to create unique interior items with openwork headboards, legs or strict, clear lines. Metal frames can be easily painted in the desired color. The material is combined with textiles, leather, plastic. Combined models combine the strength and durability of metal with the comfort of soft, warm textiles.

A beautiful bed made from an array of valuable species (an example can be seen in the photo) is timeless and fashionable. With the appropriate surroundings, you can create the atmosphere of a luxurious bedroom or a modern room with maximum free space and light. Solid wood of expensive wood is not painted, but rather tinted with varnishes to preserve the appearance of the texture. Natural material is durable, environmentally friendly and has positive energy.

Lovers of extravagant things prefer unusual pieces of furniture, for example, canopy beds. Unlike ancient products, when the canopy protected from the cold and was made of thick textiles, modern designs are light and weightless. The canvases have a decorative function and are made of silk, organza, brocade, and tulle. The base can be equipped with a system of vertical and horizontal slats that hold the canopy. The canvases are made removable and attached as needed. When the bedroom decor changes, they are replaced with new ones.

Materials used

Most often, wood, metal, textiles, and leather are used to make a beautiful and high-quality bed. The characteristics of each material affect the appearance of the product and its service life.

1. Metal, depending on the chosen style, is combined with fabric trim; plastic or leather can be used in tandem with it. The construction of this material is durable and will last a long time. Metal elements are patinated, chrome-plated, painted, and gilded. Ornate wrought-iron headboards look amazingly beautiful.
2. Valuable wood species. A solid wood bed is a win-win traditional option that is relevant at all times. The material is expensive, gives the products a respectable appearance, and speaks of the status of the owner, especially if valuable tree species are used. Wooden furniture is safe for health and durable. As a rule, natural solid wood is not painted, but varnished, preserving the natural pattern and color.
3. Expensive fabrics. A bed upholstered with textiles is a real decoration of the bedroom. Additionally, decorative stitching, embroidery, appliqués, various inserts, inlays with precious stones, and gold threads are used. The product attracts all attention, becoming the main piece of furniture. Textiles create a feeling of home comfort, and the bed beckons to you. Velvet, silk, satin, tapestry, and velor are used to upholster beautiful luxury beds.
4. Leather, artificial and natural. Durable, wear-resistant material. This covering allows us to classify the bed as a luxury product. Beautiful, stylish, elegant furniture is relevant in classic and modern interiors. Soft leather at the head of the bed creates additional comfort. Synthetic material is slightly worse in terms of quality characteristics and is cheaper, but it looks no less decent.

Modern models

New design trends are also reflected in the furniture industry. They are offered in various styles and are made from the most modern materials. Products are becoming more complex in shape and design, and the latest mechanisms are used in production.

Here is an overview of several of the most interesting modern beds:

• Technological designs include hanging beds. Initially, such products were intended for furnishing exotic villas or open terraces on the ocean. The design of the frame is such that the slightest movement results in a slight rocking of the bed. This bed is relevant for people with sleep problems, from which many suffer. Products are produced in single, double, rectangular or round shapes. The most common bases are rectangular in shape with high orthopedic mattresses, which are fixed to the ceiling beams with chains or jute ropes. When choosing such a model, you need to correctly calculate the planned load;
• Products with wide projections around the perimeter. They are most popular in minimalist, futuristic interiors. The purpose of the protrusion, in addition to decorative decoration of the bed, is to reduce local loads on the mattress when using the bed;
• Beds with fixation on the side wall and lower decorative lighting. When choosing such a model for the bedroom, you get the feeling that the sleeping person is floating in the air. The base together with the headboard are firmly fixed to the wall, the system is absolutely safe;
• Combined models, representing a base with legs made of thin metal pipes in combination with a voluminous soft headboard, covered with plain velvety textiles. Minimalist design, however, emphasizes expensive materials and design thought.

Solutions for different interior styles

Beautiful beds have a place in any interior. Features of style leave their mark on a piece of furniture, giving the product individuality.

1. Shabby chic. Delicate, romantic style. The bed is made in the spirit of “antique”; patination is used. Forged elements, stucco molding, wood carving, pastel-colored textiles with floral prints and lace are actively used. Popular colors are white and pink. Often the bed is decorated with a canopy with light, weightless, transparent fabrics.
2. Modern. Characteristic features of the style are the smooth flow of lines, non-standard forms, bends, and roundness. Only natural materials are used. An example of a bed in the Art Nouveau spirit would be a product with a curved base or the same back, wide projections around the perimeter, soft upholstery made of leather or fabric with quilted stitches.
3. Provence. The bed is elegantly simple. Metal backrests with openwork forging, wooden headboards with relief trim, canopies, delicate textiles, curly carved legs - all these are signs of this style.
4. Country. The products are distinguished by the deliberate roughness of their shapes; for the manufacture of beds, wood is predominantly used (often with minimal processing, preserving its natural appearance), as well as other natural materials. The models create a feeling of being in a cozy country house.
5. Loft. Sleeping furniture in this style should be as comfortable as possible, made from natural materials. A beautiful bed will be made of wood or metal; it may be characterized by simplicity of form, even a somewhat rough finish. There are laconic, stylish products without backs on low, almost invisible legs, with wide protrusions on the sides. Many models with a wooden frame are characterized by a metal edging. A backlit bed with a base made of pallets looks original, while the headboard is made of rough boards.
6. Classic. These beds exude luxury and aristocracy. These are necessarily rounded high headboards with ornate curves, upholstery made of expensive textiles, gilded metal elements, and canopies. The product itself looks majestic and pathetic.
7. Minimalism. The advantages of this style are its simplicity and severity. Models without any special frills or unnecessary details will take their rightful place among beautiful beds. Clear, even shapes, laconic design, adherence to geometric proportions, unusual designs (floating or hanging model, bed without legs or backs) - all these features are inherent in the minimalist style.

Unusual interior solutions

Even with a simple bed base design, you can make it unique with a creative headboard. The simplest option is to use textiles. It is made from:

• A soft wall made of thick canvas, imitating a headboard. The design may have protrusions for fixing the canopy;
• The bedroom wall located at the head of the room is decorated with textile lambrequins. Soft folds create an atmosphere of romance and comfort.

If the room is decorated in country style, then a high plank headboard would be an unusual solution. It can be constructed from old logs or boards, door panels that keep the imprint of time. Wooden panels are connected to the bedside tables and are complemented by shelves in the upper part. This headboard gives the bedroom a unique and somewhat rustic feel.

Another decoration option is to fix the base of the bed close to the wall, which is painted with patterns. It could be a tree, a mountain, a cityscape, depending on the design of the room.

The space at the head can be supplemented with hanging niches, shelves, small racks, art objects, and wall lamps. With this design the room will be unique.

Options for children

For kids, regardless of age, it is extremely important that their bedroom is decorated beautifully and originally. Therefore, many parents choose the most unusual bed for their children. Options:

1. Car. This is a great option for children from 8 to 12 years old. Such furniture fits well into the interior, where there will be maps, souvenirs, and textile decor. It can be equipped with additional accessories: steering wheel, headlights, wheels, folding roof. For two children, you should choose a bunk bed-car, which will help solve the problem of limited space.
2. Coach. Is an excellent choice for girls. It can be decorated with carved sides and a roof, or you can choose a body with the appropriate attributes. Textile accessories are used for decoration. The color scheme is pink and lilac shades.
3. Lock. This is a classic element of a children's fairy tale that will be interesting to all kids. Furniture for boys is usually made in white, gray, greenish tones, while pink shades are suitable for girls. Various turrets, stairs and bridges not only look beautiful, but are also suitable for placing drawers and shelves.
4. Toy. This bed is presented in the form of a large soft toy, which is equipped with a sleeping place. It can be made in the form of animals (dinosaur, dog, crocodile, bear) or superheroes (Batman, Spiderman, Superman).
5. Tree house. This is a two-level model that will appeal to nature lovers. The upper “floor” is made in the form of a house, and the lower part can be equipped with game elements. Textiles in natural tones are used for decoration.

Cribs in the shape of a tractor, a ship, a football goal, a fairy-tale forest, or a palace look quite interesting.

Unusual beds for the bedroom are presented in a wide range, they are practical and aesthetically pleasing. But in order to make the final choice, you should first of all focus on the size of the room. It is also very important, in the pursuit of creativity, not to forget about the main thing - convenience, because a sleeping place serves primarily for rest and relaxation.
