Turn into a loft bed believer immediately after you appreciate the possibilities that exist for you to save cash by getting loft bed plans, and building it on your own. If you live in a big city and have a shoe box for an apartment, you will be overjoyed to realize an additional forty-two (42) square feet (s.f.) when you put a king size loft bed in your house. The space you add below your loft bed will be left to your imagination while I try to share ideas with you through the words of this article.
Right this moment, I am back in our daughter's shoe box tiny area she called an residence in New York City. Imagine you walk through the front door of a rectangle 15 feet wide by 30 feet deep and the first ten feet is your miniature (seriously) kitchen on the
right and your bathroom and a closet on the left. Then you come inside the remaining 300 s.f. of space where the two of you are theoretically to exist harmoniously until death do you part.
Here's what they did... once beyond the kitchen on the right was a small dining table and on the left was the "living" area consisting of an Ikea dream of one rock hard sofa and an equally as hard love seat, a small cocktail table and an eight foot open bookshelf filled adequately and creating the screen for the bedroom on the other side. A nice touch, all things considered.
Re-orient yourself to the place just beyond the kitchen to your right as you came in the door where you find the little dining table. Remaining on that wall to the rear wall, the decor was as follows: 1. the TV, visible from both living and sleeping
areas; and, 2. large dresser wardrobe running to the rear wall. Opposite the wardrobe and behind the improvised open bookshelf screen is the bed and one small night stand. That's it, the complete apartment. I didn't mention it, but the
ceilings were quite high. From memory, I would say they were at least twelve feet, which is more than enough for our total remodeling.
We are about to add over eighty square feet to this space by using loft bed plans to pick the loft bed variations which will enable us to add three loft beds to this arrangement. These same beds can be broken down and moved with us later to save lots
of New York dollars as you move from place to place.
Start in the living area with me and envision the two Ikea sofas at right angles to one another on the closet and left side walls. Over them you will set loft bed frames assuming the sofas will fit underneath, otherwise clear away the sofas and put in the type of loft beds having futon couches built-in underneath. It's your (call|choice) as to whether or not you put mattresses on these bed frames. Pesonally, I would use the tops of them for storage, something that doesn't exist in a New York apartment.
Now lets fix that sleeping area behind the open book shelf screen. Leave the screen intact, remove the nightstand and in its place set up a king size loft bed with a complete home office below. There are several designs for king size beds, and
they are absolutely gorgeous. Please see this web site, http://www.loft-bed-plans.biz/loft-bed/loft-bed-plans-for-the-good-life/ for pictures of these amazing arrangements.
No doubt this is unusual bargain, but think about this.... besides using loft bed plans to build your very own home improvement addition, where else can you increase the size of your living area without increasing the size of your monthly housing payments?
