Small chair-beds for small rooms: corner chair for a small apartment

What should the furniture be like?

When choosing furniture for a small apartment, pay attention to models that perform several tasks at once. For example, transformable furniture, which can simultaneously be a shelving unit and a work desk, a wardrobe and a bed, a low coffee table and a high dining table.

A good option would be folding furniture, which at normal times can be hidden in a closet, and if necessary, taken out and quickly unfolded. In addition, models mounted on the wall or furniture with additional storage space for things, tools, cutlery and dishes will be convenient. Just small furniture is another solution for small apartments.

Today we will give examples of compact furniture: we present to you 10 original ideas of small furniture for a small apartment or studio.

Peculiarities

A folding chair-bed is suitable for a small bedroom, a living room or a children's room. Transformers are universal and have a number of tangible advantages.

It is believed that such furniture is intended for small-sized Khrushchev or Brezhnev buildings, but this is not entirely true. In a spacious apartment, a neat armchair will also come in handy; it will fit perfectly into the interior, and in case of unexpected guests, it can turn into a comfortable couch.
The chair is at least half the size of traditional furniture, and in addition to the imposing seat, the owners receive a single bed, which is very important for a small apartment.
All modern folding mechanisms can be easily brought into working position with one hand and without much effort. Both a teenager and a healthy elderly person can cope with such a task.

All transformers are designed for minimal effort when unfolding.

Small reclining chairs are now available in different designs. Romantic Provence, light Scandinavian style, pompous baroque or modest minimalism - all these popular trends can be easily found in the line of transformers;
.the chair is relatively small, so it can be easily moved at your discretion, and, if necessary, transported to another apartment without any problems;
.wide price range, there are models both for a young family with a modest income, and for a solid interior;
There are several types of completely different mechanisms, among which everyone can choose the option that suits a particular situation, but we will talk about this a little later.

The cost of folding furniture depends more on the type of upholstery and filling than on the design of the transformation mechanism.
Folding chairs also have their drawbacks, but the good news is that all of them are not so significant and relate more to specific models than to the whole direction.

Roll-out mechanisms have a low berth, plus some models have a small gap between the sections;
However, not all models are equipped with a drawer for linen;
A model like the “Puma” has a large number of sections, which, with active, daily use, leads to deformation of the berth;
.products of the middle and upper price categories are equipped with a topetic mattress, and without it the quality of night's rest is lower;
. everyone feels comfortable on a narrow single bed; you can’t spread your arms and legs out much here, and this also applies to the disadvantages.

In a small apartment, having a linen drawer is considered a big plus.

Furniture is classified as universal, since, thanks to the presence of a folding mechanism, it combines the functions of items for relaxation and sleep. Armchair beds are convenient not only for small rooms; they are often used to furnish guest sleeping areas. Their advantages are obvious:

saving usable space;
functionality;
mobility;
many design and style options.

Despite the many positive aspects, such furnishings also have disadvantages. First of all, this concerns the strength and reliability of transformation mechanisms. Most often, devices of poor quality are found in budget models. They can be difficult to unfold, distort individual parts, jam and break.

Saving usable space
When choosing a chair-bed, you need to consider not only the quality of the design, but also your individual needs.

The first thing you need to pay attention to is the ideal stability of the product when unfolded, as well as sufficient area to organize a comfortable sleeping place for you. The second important condition is the simplicity and convenience of the folding mechanism, which allows even a child to easily cope with turning the chair into a cozy bed for sleeping. Another important criterion is high wear resistance during everyday use.

This can be either a harmonious combination with the overall design of the room, or a play of contrasts, depending on what style you have chosen to organize your living space.

Even if the dimensions of the chairs are miniature, they are designed in such a way that the occupants can use them to the maximum. Models with a high back, soft upholstery and stuffed with synthetic padding are perfect for reading or watching TV. Options with wide armrests will complement the workplace and decorate the room, adding a touch of elegance.

Designers note that furniture of this size fits perfectly into a classic interior, but due to the huge choice for other styles, there are also suitable models. The most expensive miniature chairs are made from natural wood. This material has a long service life.

Even if you live in a small room, you can easily create a cozy atmosphere for all members of your family to relax and have a good time.

The first thing we need to place in the interior of a small room is comfortable upholstered furniture. An ideal option for limited space is, of course, transformers, among which chair-beds occupy one of the most popular positions. Due to its enormous popularity, this piece of furniture has a wide range of different models, so you can easily choose the option that fully suits your tastes and requirements.

Undoubtedly, a chair-bed is one of the most comfortable pieces of furniture. In the evening, you can relax in it with your favorite book after a busy day at work, and at night it will turn into a warm, cozy nest for a sound and restful sleep.

In addition, a small and compact chair in a limited space is a great space saver.

And the chair-bed also has a number of advantages compared to traditional pieces of furniture, and these are, first of all:

Small dimensions compared to a regular bed or sofa.
Combination of various functions: during the day – a comfortable chair, at night – a separate sleeping place.
Comfort and ease of use for small rooms and small apartments.
The light weight of the product promotes mobility, which facilitates the processes of cleaning and rearranging furniture in the room.
Flexible price range, accessible to a wide range of buyers.

A small armchair for the living room is the most necessary piece of furniture for evening relaxation or comfortable seating for guests. When arranging a small apartment, non-standard upholstered furniture has undeniable advantages:

compactness - a piece of furniture takes up much less space than a standard model. The chair can easily be placed in the relaxation area, next to the sofa, or you can give it a personal place in one of the corners of the room;
mobility - a comfortable chair can be easily moved within the room, moved and lifted like regular chairs. This is especially convenient during cleaning, when it is necessary to wash the floors of the living space;
low cost - as a rule, the manufacture of small furniture takes much less time and materials, and accordingly the price of the product will be significantly lower. The low price does not affect the quality. All pieces of furniture that have non-standard sizes are created from the same materials as full-size products.

The advantages of the models can also be their disadvantages. In this case, it concerns compactness and small size. You won't be able to fully relax on a small chair. It is intended only for sitting down for a while and doing handicrafts or reading a book.

Choice of upholstery and bed material

Illustrations	Recommendations
Jacquard. Made half of cotton, it is highly durable and wear-resistant, and is mainly used in classic styles.
Chenille. Durable fabric designed for furniture with daily use.
Velours. Low-hair fabric. It looks luxurious, plus the velor is pleasant to the touch, but such pleasure is expensive.
Genuine Leather. It is used only in elite models, since finely tanned leather is used for furniture upholstery.
Eco-leather. An artificial, elastic material that has a reasonable price and visually does not differ from natural leather.
