Typically, a loft bed is used in children's bedrooms if there are several children.
But, according to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino , if the goal is to effectively use a small room with different functional zones, this furniture will help save valuable square meters even for adults.
Let's find out how to most conveniently and ergonomically arrange an adult loft bed in a small apartment, significantly saving space.
Leave enough space to the ceiling
The minimum recommended distance from the top bunk of a loft bed to the ceiling is 70 cm.
However, for greater comfort and safety, it is better to leave about a meter of free space. If a person has a bad dream, he may rise abruptly, and too little distance to the ceiling can lead to injury.
Make sure the height from the floor is appropriate
As an example, let's take a room with a height of 2.70 meters - in this case, as well as in others, you should not place the bed higher than 2 meters from the floor. Such a solution will help to avoid accidental injuries.
Install the railing
For maximum safety, it is recommended to use railings or fences at least 30 cm high around the loft bed. This will allow the use of such furniture by both children and adults, including those who sleep restlessly and often turn over in their sleep.
