Today there are many houses in which it is necessary to optimize the available space as much as possible, since they may not be very spacious. That is why we see more and more interesting solutions for the home. In the case of siblings' or shared bedrooms, we have the possibility to add the great trundle beds.
These beds are beds that are hidden and that are usually in furniture with various functions, something that we see more and more. Multifunctional furniture which can be a bed and a shelf, a desk and a closet at the same time. This kind of furniture is ideal for small spaces, since they help us to take advantage of the square meters in the most functional way.
What are trundle beds
Trundle beds are those beds that can stay hidden, that is, nested under a piece of furniture if we do not use them. These beds come in a large drawer that can be easily opened or closed at will. They have a mattress normally with a standard measure to be able to change it if we need it. When closing the structure, we will have a normal bed that seems to have storage space underneath, although it is the bed. Today they can be seen in many sets of children's and youth rooms, both for siblings and for children who may have space for a friend to sleep.
Why choose trundle beds
The trundle beds we save a lot of space. One of its great advantages is that we can hide it in the lower part of the bed without disturbing it when it is not used. In this way we will not have to have an extra bed to add when the children have someone to sleep. And if it is a sibling room it is also a great solution. In a small bedroom we can always pick up the bed during the day to have more space to play or study. In this way we will be getting more square meters of use in the bedroom thanks to this type of nest furniture.
Another reason to choose a trundle bed is because it is a functional furniture that offers us two beds in a single piece of furniture. Thus we will not have to look for a larger set, or some bunk beds, and we will have two beds and even three in the same furniture. They give us a great service for a lower cost than buying the beds separately.
Where to put the trundle beds
The trundle beds must be placed in a direction that they can be fully open and close. But we must also bear in mind that we must make the trundle bed and add the bedding, and if everything is too fair this can be a bit complicated. That is why when choosing the exact place it is better to measure the space and the open bed to see how much space we have left to be able to easily make the bed from various angles once it has been opened.
Special trundle beds
Among the trundle beds we can find the basic ones, which are a bed in the upper part and another trundle bed in the lower part. These are the most common, but there are more types. It is also possible to find trundle beds for three people. They are more elaborate but occupy more or less the same space and serve for three people, ideal for large families with little space at home. It is not so easy to find these special trundle beds, since the vast majority of people only need a bed with two seats, but they are for sale and they can be a great idea for houses with three children.
Furniture with trundle beds
There are trundle beds that not only house the bed itself, but are also a furniture as a whole which has many more functions. We can find furniture in which we have a bed and more storage space, with some drawers to store things, taking advantage of every millimeter of space. There are also complete furniture that has the wardrobe and bed part. This furniture is ideal because that is how we buy the complete set and we no longer have to look for other matching furniture for the rooms. They are very common in youth rooms in children's rooms, where there is not much space and we need storage areas and closets in the most functional way possible. In some furniture we even have the desk so that they have their study area.
Decorate with a trundle bed
When decorating with a trundle bed we will have to take space into account that it can occupy when it remains open. We can put a rug in this place, to remove it when the trundle bed is opened. But it is not functional to have a piece of furniture that makes it difficult to open, so in this area we will not be able to put tables, cabinets or desks.
