Comment optimiser la place dans une chambre ?
Optimising the space of a bedroom is essential to create a functional, comfortable and pleasant space. Whether you have a small bedroom or a large bedroom, these tips will help you maximize the use of available space and create an environment conducive to relaxation and rest.
The mezzanine, how to arrange it?
A mezzanine is a partially raised level inside a room, creating additional space without having to expand the floor area. It is supported by beams or columns and can be used for different purposes, such as storage, an extra bedroom, an office, or simply for aesthetic purposes to add height to a room.
This allows space to be left on the floor and thus optimises space.
In a child's room, this space on the floor allows you to add storage for toys, clothes or a desk.
For adults, this space can also become a storage area but also a television or reading corner for example.
The mezzanine should be located 2m above the ground so that it can move underneath without discomfort. Between the mezzanine and the ceiling, there needs to be enough room for you to sit.
There are several types of stairs that you can install:
- A basic staircase of adequate dimensions
- A miller's ladder, inclined at 75° with a setback of 50cm, it takes up little space
- A straight ladder, more chosen for a child's loft bed that he only borrows to go to bed.
In order for a mezzanine to be considered a room , generally, it must meet certain local standards and regulations. Here are some common rules to follow in order for the mezzanine to be considered a habitable room:
Minimum ceiling height :
When selling a home, several real estate diagnoses are required, including the Carrez Law diagnosis. The Carrez law requires a ceiling height of at least 1.80m. This ensures that the space is high enough to be used comfortably.
Permanent Access: The mezzanine must have permanent, secure, and standards-compliant access. This often means a fixed staircase, a secure ladder, or some other reliable means of access.
Insulation and ventilation : The mezzanine must be properly insulated and ventilated to meet indoor air quality and thermal comfort standards.
Natural and artificial lighting : The mezzanine should have adequate natural lighting, usually through windows or skylights, and artificial lighting that meets local standards.
Safety systems: Local standards may require smoke detectors, fire suppression systems, guardrails to prevent falls, and other safety measures.
How to optimize wall storage?
The term "wall storage" refers to shelves, cabinets, hooks, racks, and other storage solutions that are attached to the walls of a room. These solutions free up floor space while organizing and storing objects in a practical and aesthetically pleasing way. Wall storage is commonly used to keep a room tidy and to maximize the use of vertical space
Radiators can sometimes take up space and prevent a piece of furniture from sticking to the wall where it is placed. To optimize these walls, install shelves above the radiators.
There are several types:
- The shelf : it looks like a board, you can put your favorite decorations on it, it comes in different colors and shapes.
- The cube : can be used for decoration but also for books or personal items. It's quite original and practical.
- The wall shelf : Modular shelves are designed with one or more levels. This allows you to create a set of shelves using elements of different sizes and shapes. You can combine, connect or stack different shelves, pedestals and drawers.
Colours and light, how to choose them?
To give a larger look to your room, choose light colors for walls, doors and linens.
Make this room very bright by choosing light curtains and light fixtures that illuminate the floor.
Also consider putting one or more mirrors, this will give a feeling of depth.
Don't clutter your windows, avoid sticking stickers or putting objects in front of them. You have to let the light in.
If you have the option, opt for sliding doors that are thinner and take up less space.
Be sure to tidy up your room regularly so that it doesn't get cluttered.
The chest bed or the drawer bed?
In the context of a furnished rental, storage space is very much appreciated by tenants.
We advise homeowners to install practical and functional storage.
A chest bed and a pull-out bed are two types of beds designed to provide extra storage space under the mattress. Here are the definitions of these two types of beds:
A box bed is a type of bed with a lifting or tilting mechanism that provides access to hidden storage space underneath the mattress. The bed base is usually mounted on hinges, which allows the top of the frame to be lifted to reveal spacious storage space underneath. Chest beds are perfect for storing duvets, pillows, sheets, and other items, while keeping the bedroom tidy.
A pull-out bed is a bed with built-in drawers underneath the mattress, usually located on one or more sides of the bed. These drawers provide convenient storage space for clothes, shoes, bedding, or other items. Pull-out beds are a more traditional storage option compared to chest beds, as they use pull-out drawers instead of a lifting mechanism.
Both of these types of beds are designed to optimize the use of space in the bedroom by providing built-in storage space, which is especially useful in smaller bedrooms where extra storage space is precious. They help maintain a clean and tidy appearance while concealing personal items or bedding. The choice between a chest bed and a pull-out bed depends on your preferences for style and use of space.
Is the headboard a good or bad idea?
A headboard with storage is a piece of furniture designed to be placed at the top end of a bed, against the wall. Unlike a traditional headboard, which mainly serves as decoration or support for pillows, a headboard with storage is specifically designed to provide practical and functional storage space.
Common features of a headboard with storage include:
Built-in shelves or niches where you can store books, decorative items, alarm clocks, or other items.
Pull-out drawers located in the headboard provide storage space for clothes, bedding, accessories, or other personal items.
Built-in compartments behind the headboard where you can hide valuables or personal items.
Some headboard models with storage include holders for bedside lamps or light fixtures, saving space on nightstands.
Some modern headboards are equipped with USB ports for charging electronic devices, providing additional functionality.
Headboards with storage are a great way to optimize the use of space in a bedroom, providing built-in storage space that can reduce the need for additional furniture. They are especially useful in small rooms where every inch counts. In addition to their functionality, they can also add a touch of style to the bedroom thanks to a variety of designs and finishes available on the market.
- Setting up a mezzanine can be a good solution to save floor space.
- Wall storage is a good storage solution.
- Be careful to choose the right colors and light.
- Choosing a functional bed such as a chest bed or drawer bed is an opportunity for additional storage.
- The headboard can be used as a piece of furniture to hide objects.
