For A Small Space Try A 4ft Bed
If you are just moving into your first apartment or loft, consider a 4ft bed instead of a queen or king size bed. Usually, apartments and lofts have limited space and you need to make the most of it. If your home has an open floor plan, a king size bed may dominate the space, making your home look smaller.
4ft beds are usually less expensive than larger beds. Consider,too, the cost of bed linens which are also more expensive for larger beds. Smaller beds are more economical with space and money which can be in short supply for people who are moving into their first home.
It’s possible to find 4 ft beds in a variety of styles. If your space is very small, like a studio apartment, you might consider a loft style. With a 4 ft loft style bed, you will have space beneath the bed to put in a desk or small office space. You can even put a bureau or chest of drawers under the bed. Basically you double the floor space when you chose a loft bed.
Some modern styles of 4ft beds come with floating night stands built right into the frame. You can chose from all kinds of styles with headboards, or with both headboards and foot boards. You can find 4ft platform beds that have storage underneath to save more space. Whatever your style, you’ll find a bed to suit you.
Before you buy your bed, make a computer model of your room. Think about all the furniture you intend to use in the space and move it into the room using the measurements of each piece. If you can’t do this on your own PC, your furniture seller may offer the service and most interior designers have the program. You may see the advantages of using a smaller bed and you won’t get stuck with furniture that doesn’t fit.
If you are dealing with a small space, it’s best to scale down the size of your furniture to fit your space. Large pieces overwhelm small spaces. Try to keep all your furniture in the same scaled down size. It will make your space look larger. Avoid clutter since it also makes a room appear small. Keep accessories to a few important pieces.
Check with your local furniture retailer, or go online to find a great selection of 4ft beds for your space.
