If you are willing to consider unconventional alternatives to furnish your home, imagine everything that can happen if you separate the bed from the ground and suspend it in the air: with the porch swing bed you will transform and enlarge the space in an innovative way, you will enjoy a new visual perspective of the environment surrounding the bed and you will convert an everyday element traditionally stuck to the ground, in a decorative and functional object that levitates inside the room or under a shade of your garden from which to dream and let your imagination fly. Do you dare to let your dreams fly with the hanging beds?
Give a radical twist to the decoration of your room
Do you want to break with the canons and have a most original bedroom? Well that you know that a hanging bed can be the answer that will turn the space into the protagonist of the composition creating an impressive visual contrast. This type of beds are inspired by the beautiful exotic hammocks and are in fact normal beds without legs and that, to float in the air, are anchored to the walls and ceiling with ropes or cables or decorative chains. Today the models in hanging beds are increasingly amazing and above all, comfortable and are beginning to be used more and more.
Do you need space? Multiply it by raising the bed
One of the characteristics of current housing is the small size of the rooms. With the raised beds you can take advantage of the space that is under it creating a study or reading area, a play corner and even create a living area. You just have to take into account if you have enough height in the room.
Suspended beds for large families
When families grow, it is common for several children to share the same room, hanging the beds on the roof is an original and fun solution to organize the space for the little ones in the house; even babies can enjoy a hung cradle to rock them until they fall asleep.
Choose the style that best suits your personality
The variety of possible solutions to build a bed has no limitations. You can give a rustic and bucolic air using wood and hemp ropes like that of wooden cabins, you can also choose to use cables, steel and lacquered finishes for urban and minimalist environments or resort to chains and metals to achieve an industrial effect.
Unleash your imagination and fabricate a custom bed
You can always resort to the resource of creating it yourself with pallets or wooden boards and colored ropes to hang them from the roof rafters or take a walk through the countryside to pick up some wooden rods to create a base on which to support a mattress. You can even keep the bed stuck to the ceiling of the room when you are not using a pulley system that works automatically.
Things you have to keep in mind
To suspend the bed from the ceiling, the first thing to keep in mind is that the support on which the ancles must be sufficiently solid, such as a wooden beam or a solid concrete element. The cables or ropes that you use to hang it have to resist the weight of the bed and the people who use it and the board must be rigid enough not to deform with the weight of people. It is recommended that you advise a specialized technician.
