Bridge bedrooms for children and adults: why choose them

The bridge bedroom is trendy for both children and adults

Bridge bedroom sets are a versatile, practical and functional solution, no longer only suitable for children, but also for adults. Lately, when furnishing a bedroom, this type of wardrobe is increasingly being chosen in combination with the bed. This is because it makes it possible to optimise and better organise the available space. However, in order for the result to be as comfortable as possible, certain criteria must be met during the design phase.

Furnishing the bedroom with a bridge wardrobe

Contrary to popular belief, bridge bedroom sets are safe and save space in the sleeping area. The name of this particular configuration comes from the bridge wardrobe that characterises them. In fact, this structure allows you to insert, in addition to wardrobes, storage elements by exploiting the height of the wall. Whereas, the bed is located in the lower part.

The characteristics of the bridge bedroom

The bridge bedroom, as we have said, is a furnishing solution that allows you to exploit the space above the bed for storage. In fact, in this case the wardrobe is located above the bed. Over time, planners and designers have studied new solutions, and have proposed, for example, bridge bedroom sets with:

• Walk-in wardrobes.
• Beds.
• Desks.

Initially, this solution was very popular, especially when there was a need to create a beautiful and functional room, even for more than one child, in a small space.

Types of bridge bedroom sets

The structure of the bridge bedroom can take on various conformations:

• The angular structure is perfect for small rooms, as it allows all corners of the room to be used to place a wardrobe.
• The linear one is ideal for large walls. In this case, the corners of the room are left free so that there is more freedom of movement.

What to put under the bridge wardrobe?

Regardless of which type is suitable for your bedroom, what is important to consider is the arrangement of the furniture. The main objective, even at the planning stage, must be to make the most of the shape and size of the room, so as to create a space in which no detail is overlooked. Therefore, furniture should be arranged so that the room is characterised by different areas with a specific function.

Thus, depending on the characteristics of the space and the needs to be met, a bridge wardrobe can be placed underneath, in addition to the single or double bed:

1. A desk, fixed or foldaway,
2. A sofa bed,
3. A storage bed,
4. A wardrobe,
5. A bookcase,
6. Shelves.

Obviously it is always best to contact specialists in the sector, such as ArredareModerno, experts in furnishing the night area, in order to receive the appropriate advice needed to find the solution best suited to your needs, both in terms of space and aesthetics.

The advantages of bridge bedroom sets

Opting for a bridge bedroom, especially when the room is really small, allows you to create an alternative and extremely creative solution. In fact, bridge bedroom sets are characterised by several advantages. First of all, they are able to adapt to the available space in the best possible way if they are designed according to the shape of the room. In addition, they save floor space and exploit under-deck space by optimising heights.

How to choose a safe bridge bedroom

A safe bridge bedroom is characterised by quality materials. Therefore, robust, ecological and non-toxic, capable of respecting the environment and at the same time protecting the health of those who live in the room.

In particular, the materials chosen, as mentioned, should be of high quality, resistant and able to last over time. Among these, the most popular are wood and metal. The former is used to make the furniture, while the latter forms the bridge structure and all the elements needed to assemble it.

Quality wood: the ideal material for the bridge bedroom

Wood is by nature an ecological and recyclable material that is also suitable for use in children’s bedrooms. However, it is also important to assess the processes by which the wood is treated. In this regard, it is a good idea to choose furniture lacquered exclusively with water-based paints that are free of volatile substances harmful to humans. Instead, the characteristics that a quality wood must have in order to be used as the main element of a bridge wardrobe are:

• solidity,
• compactness,
• indeformability,
• resistance over time.

Metal for a strong and safe supporting structure

In a bridge bedroom, the supporting structure must be strong, secure, robust and well assembled. This ensures stability and safety and is able to support the weights of clothes and various objects without any problems.

Therefore, all load-bearing elements of the structure must be made of suitable, high-quality materials and be carefully assembled. This applies especially to the wardrobe part that forms the bridge, but also to all other wall cabinets, so that it is able to support the loads and stresses to which it is subjected without any problems.
