Kitchen sofas with sleeping space

Every housewife wants to have an ideal apartment and an ideal kitchen, where she could have a tea party with her family and friends. But what if there are a lot of invited friends, and there are few places for landing, or even worse - a relative unexpectedly arrives, and there is no extra bed in a small living room - apartment meters simply do not allow him to arrange it. And yet, this puzzle can be solved easily. It is enough to purchase a kitchen sofa with a sleeping place.

It is difficult to predict when you need an extra bed. Usually the need for it arises spontaneously, and therefore having a multifunctional organized space is always useful. In the kitchen, the easiest way to arrange another bed. This may be a small corner sofa, which is also part of the dining room, providing seating, and if necessary, an additional "bed".

The kitchen corner has a number of advantages:

• Firstly, it is compact enough that it will be a definite plus for a small kitchen.
• Secondly, the design of such sofas is very convenient in terms of its configuration: they do not have high backs, uncomfortable armrests or too springy seats, which are easy to fall into. Kitchen sofas should be a little more rigid, and upholstered furniture should be left for the living room.
• Thirdly, some models of kitchen corners consist of modules that can be swapped and made into a sofa of another form.

The advantage of kitchen sofas lies in the fact that many of them have special connectors for storage, in which you can easily put both unnecessary kitchen utensils and bed linen. This becomes a kind of lifesaver for the inhabitants of small apartments, where there is not much storage space and every centimeter counts.

The kitchen sofa is the aesthetics and comfort which are merged together. But you should not forget about practicality either - the sofas in the kitchen should be, first of all, wear-resistant and durable, especially if they are constantly folded and laid out.

Finally, you can not ignore the shape of the sofa. For the kitchen, the corner sofas already mentioned above are the most convenient, the most important advantage of which is miniature. However, straight sofas without armrests are also recognized as equally comfortable.

Today, there are two main types of sofas for the kitchen, which are easily transformed into a bed. These are angular and straight sofas.

Sofa-corner will be most convenient for the kitchen with a small area. It always looks petite and often contains extra storage space. In turn, it is more convenient to transform a straight sofa into a bed thanks to the mechanism built into them.

I must say that there are a great many mechanisms:

• The most common sofa mechanism has a beautiful name. "dolphin". These sofas have a special retractable platform, which in the assembled state is usually hidden under the sofa body.

• The same convenient mechanism can have straight sofa bed without additional modules and armrests. This sofa compared to the other looks much more compact, but when disassembled it perfectly replaces a double bed.
• No less popular and folding beds. The sliding part to the arcaque of such sofas is made of a light metal construction, which is retracted inside the sofa. Over the retractable metal base is a comfortable soft mattress.
• Non-standard option is chair bed. Such a design is quite quickly disassembled, but in size only a single place is obtained. When assembled, such furniture will hold no more than two people, which is very inconvenient for a large family.

• If you wish, you can put a transformer sofa familiar to us in the kitchen "Eurobook". However, in a small kitchen, it can look cumbersome because of its high back and long length.
• An unfairly forgotten sofa in the form of ottomans, sofas or couches.
• For a niche kitchen, purchasing will be a great solution. bay window sofa, which perfectly fills the empty space. Most often, these sofas occupy a place at the bay window, in this case they should not be too high so as not to block the incident daylight. Bay windows with sleeper seats also have a built-in pull-out mechanism.
• Worth mentioning and modular sofaswhich are a set of interconnected sections. Each section can be used together with the other sections, and as an independent object of the interior. For lovers of frequent rearrangements, this is very practical. Sections can be converted to a sofa, single chairs or a solid bed.

Often when choosing kitchen furniture, many are guided by the practicality of its operation. Furniture should not be too quickly contaminated, it is easy to absorb foreign odors and pigment dyes. But at the same time, the kitchen is exactly the place, which is characterized by all of the above. It is necessary to shed jam on a sofa with one awkward movement, or what is more serious, and an irreducible stain is provided. Therefore, it is worth more attentive to the choice of material upholstery of the kitchen sofa and give preference to those coatings, which, if necessary, can be easily cleaned.

These are durable and durable fabrics. The dust practically does not stick to them, they easily wash. In addition, these fabrics are pleasant to the touch, they are not too soft and not too hard. Golden mean in the world of comfort! Because of this, they are comfortable to sit on and no less comfortable to sleep.

Choosing furniture for kitchen with fabric upholstery, you should take a closer look at the materials that are impregnated with a special water-repellent substance. This will significantly extend the life of any furniture. To make the upholstery last longer, you can also use removable covers and capes.

This material is easily rubbed off from stains, does not let in moisture, but, unfortunately, tends to stretch over time and lose its original appearance. But if the love of leather sofas is so great and shopping is unavoidable, it is preferable to purchase a more rigid model. Otherwise, the material will quickly wear out, and the furniture will not last as long as we would like.

Another disadvantage of a leather sofa is the price. This option is much more expensive furniture, upholstered fabric. But from this situation for fans of leather furniture there is a way out. It is about buying a sofa made of artificial leather. Models with such a finish look no less impressive. Leather, of course, also has the ability to deform, but it is still stronger than fabric and will not tear with time.

The eco-leather upholstery is also cleaned. In addition, she is not afraid of any liquid - eco-leather simply does not absorb it. The high-quality leatherette is as pleasant as genuine leather to the touch, and outwardly these two materials look like twin brothers.

In addition to the upholstery, you should pay attention to the materials of which made the frame and accessories sofa. Usually furniture for soft kitchen corners is made of laminated chipboard and wood. Both options have their pros and cons. For example, some types of chipboard may contain formaldehyde, but furniture made from this material is in an affordable price category.

Unlike chipboard, natural wood is an environmentally safe product, it is stronger and has a more presentable appearance. But such furniture is more expensive and because of its bulkiness it may look inharmonious in a small kitchen.

The kitchen soft corner is part of the room and therefore must be in harmony with the general interior design not only in style and ideological, but also in color.

When choosing a sofa should pay attention to how it is combined in color with the walls, curtains, floor and surrounding furniture.

Depending on the overall color scheme of the interior, it is possible to divide the colors of kitchen sofas into two large groups:

• Monochrome. Upholstery of such sofas usually to neutral monotonous shades and lack of print. It can be classic white and black, shades of gray and beige, brown palette, bright catchy colors (yellow, blue, red, purple).Monochrome options are universal. Bright models will dilute the neutral-styled room. Beige shades, on the contrary, will make the interior with active details more calm and moderate.
• Sofas with a print. Perfectly dilute the interior in soothing colors and become a bright spot, pleasing the eye. The print should be chosen in accordance with the general style of the room. The upholstery of the kitchen corner may overlap with the elements of the room: with curtains, pillows, paintings or upholstered chairs.

But this is not at all necessary, because in the end, only the personal preferences of the kitchen owner are important.

The dimensions of the sofas for the kitchen with a sleeping place largely depend on the size of the room itself. If the kitchen meters allow, the size of the sofa can be any. The choice of the happy owner of a roomy kitchen is not limited by anything and he can even look at large volumetric sofas.

It should be noted that the dimensional grid of the finished kitchen corners is divided into three segments along the length:

• from 110 cm to 120 cm;
• 160x200 cm;
• from 160 cm and more.

If the kitchen is small or has a non-standard layout, you can make a sofa to orderthat will allow you to organize an already small space most efficiently.

The size of the room is an important factor when choosing a kitchenette, but we must not forget about the convenience of using the sofa. It should be wide enough to sit comfortably on it. Seat depth usually starts from 50-60 cm or more.

The length of the kitchen sofa provided for sleeping should be up to 170 cm when unfolded. This is the minimum setting for an adult. At the same time, the width should be at least 80 cm, otherwise it will be inconvenient to sleep on such a sofa.

Corner sofas have two parts - short and long - and, as a rule, they are up to 160 cm in length on the short side and up to 220 cm in length. In a collapsible form, sofas of this size are comfortable enough for sleeping and can replace a double bed.

Kitchen-subway involves the use of special ceramic tiles, which are usually lined with the walls of the subway in European cities. This tile looks great.

Such sofas look like seats in subway cars, and their back is often made of a metal strap imitating a handrail.
