• One of the most popular at the moment colors of beds - white. It sets an elegant and minimalistic style throughout the bedroom and at the same time looks expensive and fashionable. It gives space airiness in combination with light, light bed linen, framed with unobtrusive ruffles. And in combination with platinum, gold or silver, the bedroom acquires the features of a classic style.

Many people before painting furniture set a specific goal, for example, to change the color or give a decorative effect, for example, semi-antique; work with quality characteristics, increase the thermal and moisture resistance. Based on your own requests, use the following types of wood staining: toning, varnishing or full coloring.

Toning of the bed provides a change in its color while maintaining the original structure. This technique helps to hide small defects of the material, to paint it in an unusual color, to level the heterogeneity in the color of the tree itself. At toning the following steps are carried out:

• Thorough surface grinding.
• Processing a special primer before toning.

Varnishing and painting products is not an easy process, it requires prior removal of wood from the resin, since otherwise the surface coating will be uneven. The method of dyeing and varnishing is similar and consists of the following steps:

1. Cleaning furniture from the old coating;
2. Removal of all kinds of knots, roughness and irregularities.
3. Removing the resin.
4. Filling all cracks and chips.
5. Primer application with a wide brush or roller.
6. Painting / varnishing furniture with a brush. If the bed is large, it is better to use a roller. Before applying the next layer of paint, the previous one is polished with fine sandpaper.

Lucky is used on alcohol or nitrocellulose basis. They perfectly highlight the natural amber color of pine material, and also dry relatively quickly.

In addition to paint and varnish, pine is often enameled. It gives the bed the appearance of plastic, completely masking the natural structure. For the most high-quality and sustainable coating using polyurethane enamel.

All beds are divided into two categories: transformers (folding) and simple (classic). The first ones are the most popular because they take up little space and fit easily into the interior. The latter are made of wood and metal and are often part of more massive structures.

For comfortable operation of the bed, the number of backs is important, for example, there are beds with one, two or three backs. Most comfortable models with a soft and high headboard.

In miniature apartments you should definitely look at the transforming bed with two drawers for linen, it will be a very reasonable step.

Wood is one of the oldest materials used to make various furniture, including beds. Unfortunately, modernity is increasingly a matter of artificial materials, often forgetting about their dubious quality and enormous harm to the environment during production. Those people who make the decision to buy a bed made of solid wood, usually after flatly refuse to purchase anything from fragile plywood or oozing with chipboard glue.

All the benefits of beds made of natural wood, see the following video.

Each type of wood belongs to a specific category of species, distinguished by hardness. In total there are three such categories:

• Soft - pine, aspen, linden.
• Solid - beech, maple, birch.
• Very hard - dogwood, yew, boxwood.

The last species are rare and excessively expensive types of wood, which not everyone can afford, therefore the emphasis will be on the most common breeds of the average price category:

• Pine - high-strength wood, easy to process. Differs in softness and ductility, while not as susceptible to changes under the action of moisture, as its leafy counterparts. The natural color of the wood is yellowish with a red tint or pale yellow. When coloring can be observed uneven distribution of color associated with the porosity of wood.

• Birch tree - quite solid and durable material, has a high impact strength, has antibacterial properties. When dried, birch becomes similar to beech in a number of characteristics, and sometimes even surpasses it. Under normal conditions, beech gives odds to birch in terms of strength and durability.

• Beech - breed of high strength and hardness, it is easily processed.It is extremely hygroscopic material, therefore it is categorically not suitable for places with high humidity, where it immediately begins to deteriorate. Very easy to use: easy to saw and handle, bends well (under the action of steam), but is difficult to polish.
