How to choose a library bed according to your needs?

Among all the built-in wall bed models and its 5 space-saving combinations, the bookcase bed offers you the opportunity to complement your fold-down bedding with storage shelves. This unique and original piece of furniture will add character to your room thanks to its modern design, while optimizing your space. Choosing a bookcase bed allows you to integrate a quality piece of furniture into your interior, combining comfort, aesthetics, and functionality.

The library bed: what is it?

The bookcase bed is a piece of furniture that combines two uses: it offers you a bed, regular or extra, and shelves, for your books and decorative objects. The purpose of such a piece of furniture is to combine several functions in a single element. This way, you don't have to multiply the furniture in your room. Result: you save space, you purify your bedroom, your living room or your office and you enjoy a space with a harmonious design.

The swivel bookcase bed

With the swivel bookcase bed , innovation is at the rendezvous. Behind a large swivel bookcase, hides a complete bedding, which unfolds thanks to a system of jacks and retractable feet. This option offers the greatest space saving and allows the bookcase part to be completely separated from the sleeping area. This option is practical if you want to have an extra bed in your living room, for example, without opting for the traditional convertible sofa.

The bed with bookcase on the side

Bookcase beds adapt to your needs and different rooms. In its classic configuration, the bookcase bed takes the form of a large central wardrobe, with the fold-down bed hidden inside. The bookcase is installed on one side (or both) of the bed. It is a fixed element, accessible at all times. In this case, the bookcase therefore presents itself as an extension of the bedding. It incorporates shelves, drawers, or even niches, depending on your needs.

The bed with high bookcase

Depending on the size of your room, it may also be a good idea to use the lost height of your wall to optimize space . In this case, your bed can incorporate a bookcase above the bed. However, be careful with the height if the bookcase bed is intended for children. The various storage units are customizable: drawers, niches, shelves, doors, etc. When the storage modules go all the way around the bed, we call it a bridge bed.

Choosing the right bookcase bed

Furnishing your apartment or house is a real challenge. Your furniture plays an important role in your daily living comfort. A bookcase bed must fulfill several functions: it must offer you practical storage but also integrate a comfortable bed . All this while adapting to your decor and, of course, at the best price. From the choice of mattress to the selection of the upholstery for your bookcase bed, including the dimensions, your furniture meets all your expectations.

The library bed's sleeping area

Comfort is essential for your bookcase bed, whether it's a regular bed or a spare. The first positive: you can choose the mattress you want. Spring, foam, or latex mattresses: the mattress selection depends on your sleeper profile. Then, the dimensions are also customizable. A single bed for children, a double bed for adults, or a generous king-size format: the choice is yours.

The opening system of the bookcase bed

Swivel bookcase bed, horizontal opening or vertical opening: the choice will depend on the dimensions of the room but also on the person who will be using it. For example, for a child, the horizontal bookcase bed is the easiest version to handle. The swivel model will be particularly suitable for a living room or a studio: the bookcase completely covers the front and thus makes the bedding unnoticed. For an office or a guest room, which is a less frequented room, a classic folding model will be perfectly suited. Choose the opening model according to the configuration of your room.

The design of the bookcase bed

Now, let's move on to design. What style do you want for your bookcase bed? A clean white? A natural effect? A touch of color? The upholstery can have a natural wood look, matte or glossy, depending on your taste. As for color, the choice is also very wide. White, gray, or black are the most basic colors. But nothing prevents you from being tempted by yellow, blue, or even red. Bookcase beds are modular pieces of furniture, to be custom-designed to optimize the layout of your home.
