Elegant and practical bed for your adult bedroom
In an adult bedroom, it's not always easy to combine elegance and practicality, or storage and aesthetics. However, this room needs to be both pleasant to use every evening and allow you to store and organise your clothes and many other items. At the heart of the bedroom, the bed of course. Discover all our advice for choosing an elegant and practical bed, but also for making this room even more pleasant.
Which bed combines elegance and practicality?
In an adult bedroom, the bed that combines elegance and practicality is undoubtedly the storage bed. Indeed, this type of bed provides a large storage space that remains extremely discreet, while enjoying a beautiful bed that matches your decor.
Whether it's a 160x200 cm storage bed or a 140x200 cm storage bed, it works on the same principle. A gas lift system allows you to effortlessly lift the mattress and bed base to reveal a storage compartment containing all the space under the bed. It then becomes possible to store many items and lower the bed base and mattress for ultra-discreet storage.
The storage bed can take different forms and styles, such as a wooden storage bed, or covered with textile like linen, velvet, etc. If space in your room allows, opt for a 160x200 cm storage base to be combined with a mattress of the same dimensions. The 160x200 storage bed will allow you to benefit from an even more comfortable sleeping space, especially if you share your bed with someone, and that's why it's important to know how to choose a storage bed.
How to organise an adult storage bed?
The storage bed is an excellent choice in an adult bedroom, but be careful to organise this storage space well. Indeed, such a spacious storage area needs to be thoughtfully planned to remain pleasant to use. We recommend opting for storage boxes to compartmentalise the different spaces and thus make it easier to find your belongings when storing them.
From time to time, consider sorting through the items in your storage bed to avoid accumulation. You can store items that you only use occasionally such as suitcases, shoes, sports equipment, duvets and pillows, but also store items that you use more regularly. Indeed, it is a storage space that remains very accessible.
Where to place the bed in an adult bedroom?
Whether you decide to opt for a storage bed or any other format, where your bed is placed in the room will have a real impact on its decoration. If space allows, prefer to have only the headboard against a wall so you can move freely around the bed. Most often, it is more pleasant to position an adult bed against a wall without doors or windows. The exits thus remain perfectly visible from the bed.
As for recommendations suggesting placing the head to the north, it all depends on your preferences in this matter. No study to date specifies whether a bed oriented as such actually allows for better sleep.
To find the right place for your bed, adapt according to the room, its constraints, but also your habits and preferences to create the most pleasant room possible.
How to make an adult bedroom cosier?
Once your bed is well positioned, you can think about the rest of the room's decoration. Here are some ideas to make this room even cosier:
- Prefer pleasant materials like wood for example, you can even opt for a wooden storage bed like our BASTIA 160 storage bed for example.
- Opt for beautiful curtains to filter light such as sheers, they will also allow you to gain privacy.
- Add accent lamps to create a more intimate atmosphere when evening comes.
- Install a rug under your bed to create a soft bedside rug, it will be particularly pleasant on cold winter mornings.
There are therefore many possibilities to make your bedroom cosier and create a lovely cocoon that reflects your personality.
What is the ideal colour for a bedroom?
Regarding ideal colours for an adult bedroom, the recommendations are very similar to those for a child's room. This space should be soothing, and the use of soft and neutral colours that are easy to match is recommended. Whites, greys, beiges, and other pastels are therefore welcome here to create a serene environment conducive to rest. If you want more vibrant colours, add them in small touches through decorative objects, for example.
