Round beds have long been very popular among consumers, as this model has a special charm and style. Not everyone decides to purchase just such a bed for their home; there are a number of reasons for this, which will be discussed in this publication. The article also contains information on how to choose a design, how to properly design a bedroom with a round bed, and how to create a round model yourself.
A round bed will invariably bring an extraordinary approach to bedroom interior design
Advantages and disadvantages
An unusual shape, smooth lines, the absence of sharp corners - these properties of furniture attract a lot of attention, so a round bed will definitely play its decisive role in the interior of the bedroom.
Main advantages:
- The shape of the bed allows you to feel free and relaxed, which means you get better sleep.
- The risk of injury is minimized, because the furniture has no sharp corners - this is especially important for families with children.
- This model will become a highlight in a room with any interior, transform it, add a touch of sophistication and freshness.
But in addition to its advantages, a sleeping place of this shape also has disadvantages. For example, it is not always suitable for married couples. And a model that can accommodate two adults must be large in diameter, which is why the free space in the room suffers. Also, many are put off by the high cost of both the product itself and bedding sets for a round bed. Despite some disadvantages, such furniture is popular and becomes the choice of people who are accustomed to keeping up with current trends and have good taste.
Bedding for a round bed will cost about twice as much as a regular set.
The beginning of the round bedroom
First, we should understand what makes a bedroom round. Everyone understands perfectly well that buildings are usually not built with round walls, and therefore they are found either in private houses or in cases with very unusual architecture.
Therefore, when creating a round bedroom, you cannot rely on them. Then what?
To do this, let's look at a photo of a round bedroom. The first and most important detail that we should notice should be the bed. In a round bedroom, the bed will always be round.
At the same time, you can add various decorative details, not only textiles in the form of curtains, but also real physical partitions that can be used to zone the room.
Popular models
Configurations of adult beds are very diverse. The most standard and inexpensive model is an ordinary round one without a back. Other interesting design solutions are no less in demand:
- With a backrest. This model provides the maximum level of comfort: leaning against a small, or vice versa, massive headrest, it is very comfortable to read or watch TV after a hard day at work.
- With corner headboard. This model has two advantages: firstly, it saves free space, and secondly, it visually increases the sleeping space due to the adjacent wall.
- Modular round transformable beds. These are modern designs that can be converted into comfortable tables, ottomans, armchairs, sofas, and some products even include audio systems.
- With bedside table. A convenient small design is an integral part of the bed, stylishly complementing its appearance.
- In the shape of a heart. An ideal choice for young married couples and eternal romantics.
- Four poster bed. Adds an element of coziness to the furniture, creating a feeling of privacy and security. It will be a real find for any representative of the fair half of humanity.
- Hanging. An interesting solution - the bed seems to float in the air. In this case, the design requires additional fastenings and a reinforced frame.

The most practical solutions are also popular, for example, a bed with a lifting mechanism or lighting along the entire perimeter of the base.
As for children's models, there are also popular varieties:
- In the form of the sun, a flower, a soccer ball - they help develop a sense of beauty in a child, accustom him to sports from an early age, and create a positive mood.
- In the form of a shell with a pearl - such models are usually equipped with height adjustment of the headboard.
- With sides - for a round bed on which a small child sleeps, this is the best protection option.
Parents of newborn babies will appreciate cribs with a pendulum - a well-thought-out mechanism helps to rock the baby comfortably and quickly.
Design dimensions
Suitable sizes of round furniture are determined depending on the height of the person who will sleep on it. With a standard value of 175–178 cm, the diameter of the bed should not be less than 190–195 cm. It is even better to stop at two meters, since a small margin never hurts.
The nuances of making a podium bed with your own hands, typical mistakes
Both domestic and foreign furniture manufacturers are inclined to believe that the most optimal diameter of a round-shaped product varies from 200 to 280 cm. An indicator of 280 cm is perfect for a double bed model. The height ranges from 22 to 102 cm. There are models that are imperfectly round in shape, with non-standard dimensions, for example, 2950 x 2650 cm. This bed also looks very original and can become an accent addition to the interior.
A round bed for children has its own size standards:
- up to 3 years - 80–90 cm, for twins - 100 cm;
- from 3 to 5 years - 1 m;
- from 5 to 7 - 120 cm;
- from 7 to 12 - 140 cm;
- for teenagers - 160–170 cm.
To make sure you don’t go wrong with the size of the furniture, you should measure the person’s height and add about 30 cm to this value. In this case, the sleeping place will be comfortable and spacious.
Installation
On legs - the perfect classic, despite the fact that several supports are needed. This installation model is acceptable if the bedroom is modern. The downside is that cleaning is a hassle.
On the podium there is a platform that is installed on the floor, round in shape. The mattress can be rectangular.
Suspended - attached to the ceiling with rods, freeing up space and thereby creating a special design.
Manufacturing materials
A round bed in the bedroom should be stable, reliable and comfortable. And if the frame is responsible for the first two factors, then the mattress is responsible for the last. The material for the base can be very diverse - from expensive solid wood to thin-walled metal pipe. And if solid wood is valued for its naturalness, then metal is more practical and has a very affordable price. The service life of metal structures is also much longer.
For the base, flexible veneer is often used, assembled from thin sheets of wood, which quickly takes the shape of the mattress and is able to maintain it for a long time without any consequences for the structure. And the last element is the headboard. It should be massive, with reliable fastenings that can withstand the weight of a person leaning on it. Reinforced fiberboard is quite suitable for such purposes.
The range of upholstery materials is also varied: from practical velor and durable jacquard to classic eco-leather, matting or chenille. The choice depends on the buyer's preferences and the amount he expects to spend.
When choosing a crib for a child, you should be guided by the same principles as when choosing a bed for an adult.

What types of round beds are there?
The design of beds of this type is not very diverse; all of them can be divided into types according to the type of bed base and mattress used.
All round models can be divided into two types: options with and without a headboard.
They are more convenient with a headboard, because thanks to its presence, it is immediately clear where the headboard is actually located. It is also convenient with a headboard because pillows do not fall off it. Very often there are armrests or built-in bedside tables next to the headboard.

Without a headboard, the models look more romantic and unusual; they look more like a bed for temporary rest. But if the room has rounded walls, then moving such a bed to the wall can make it more comfortable.

Also, all round beds can be divided according to the type of mattress used. So, if anyone thinks that sleeping on a mattress without corners will not be very comfortable, models with a round frame but a rectangular sleeping area have been developed for them. They are also called beds with a podium. The podium, in turn, can also have built-in bedside tables or tables on both sides of the mattress. Drawers can also be built into the podium, which will again increase ergonomics as there will be additional space for storing bedding.

Also, such beds may have a lifting mechanism for storing bedding, or they may not have it.
Moreover, there is a model such as a round sofa bed, it is very convenient because it is more mobile and allows you to save space, which makes it possible to use it in small rooms.

The types can also be further subdivided by the type of upholstery material used. They come in fabric and leather; leather sofa beds can be used in studio apartments. When folded and unfolded, they will always look presentable.
Moreover, manufacturers of round beds often integrate acoustic systems into headboards with armrests. This is very convenient for those who like to fall asleep to music.

Features of accommodation
The first step is to decide on the method of installing the furniture. It could be:
- classic product with legs;
- suspended structure, which is attached to the ceiling with special rods;
- model on the podium - with this installation option, the mattress is laid directly on the base itself.

A large room is full of free space, so there are plenty of options for where to place the bed. This can be the center of the room or one of the side walls. You can also move the product closer to the corner, freeing up space for other furniture. For the center of a large bedroom, round models with a diameter of 2–2.5 m, without a headboard and built-in bedside tables, are ideal.
In a small room, the best option for placing a sleeping bed is a corner, but you need to choose a product of the appropriate design. Models with a soft corner headboard of small diameter are suitable. Beds with a straight back are best placed close to the wall.
Carpets on the walls behind the bed are a relic of the last century; trending solutions include a heavy canopy for adults or light transparent curtains for children.
Bedroom interior
A non-standard shaped bed is the center of the bedroom, and therefore the entire furnishings are subsequently selected for it. The bed attracts attention with its originality and unusualness.
Color options
The basic rule of color combination is to choose not a ready-made set of furniture products, but individual elements of different but harmonious shades. This is the only way a bedroom or other room will look elegant and beautiful. In addition, such an interior can be combined over time and complemented with any other pieces of furniture.
Some interesting design solutions:
- Create a sharp contrast in the color of the bed and the wall behind it. For example, soft graphite and white.
- A calm and unpretentious tone of the bed and a bright color of the headboard, on which the ornament will look very harmonious.
- The sleeping area is a continuation of the wall color. Not as impressive as the first option, but it looks quite interesting.
- The bed and walls are united by one color scheme - it is best if they are light colors.
If any colors are acceptable for decorating an adult bedroom, including dark ones, then for a children’s room designers recommend choosing soft, calm shades - they will help you fall asleep quickly and sleep soundly.
Combination with interior design
To make the room look harmonious, when choosing a round bed, you must first take into account the style of the room:
- The classic will remain relevant at any time. But it should not be confused with the ascetic neoclassical style, which implies the absence of anything superfluous in the room. Modern classics are quite supportive of bright colors and bold decor, for example, a headboard made of red velvety material.
- The goal of minimalism is to create maximum comfort without resorting to additional interior elements. For such a bedroom, one round bed of calm, restrained colors, a bedside table, and a stylish pendant lamp will be enough. There is no headboard, just a frame, mattress and bed linen.
- High-tech - here embodies a neat and delicate interweaving of modern decorative elements, as well as the basics of minimalism: an asymmetrical or rectangular back, which can be supplemented with shelves. Transforming models fit perfectly into this direction. At the same time, bedrooms made in this style simply must be equipped with the latest technology: beautiful lighting, heated floors, sensors to turn on the light by sound.
- Baroque is a movement characterized by natural splendor and bizarre images. A bedroom in this style is especially elaborate, with a variety of accessories and decorative elements that can be imitated. Soft headboards decorated with screed, gilding, and carved wooden frames would look appropriate. Canopies with heavy tassels will suit the place.
What are the differences between loft style beds and their characteristic features?
The design of a bedroom, complete with a round bed, cannot a priori be standard. Such furniture is designed to create unique solutions for the interior, and not turn it into routine and dullness.

"Little Living Room"
If your living room is also a bedroom, and the room is small, you can still buy a round sofa bed. But keep in mind that it is not suitable for receiving a large number of guests. In a one-room apartment, such a bed would be comfortable for a family of two, but no more. When unfolded, it will take up a lot of space, and the size of the seat when folded is very small, due to the semicircle shape it takes.
When purchasing a sofa bed for a small living room, carefully consider the choice of transformation mechanism. Some models have a roll-out seat, while others create a circle using a backrest that reclines back. That is, in the second case, a round bed should either stand away from the wall or be moved away from it every night, which is not always possible or convenient in a one-room apartment.
The nuances of choosing a mattress and bed linen
When going in search of bedding for a round bed, you should be prepared for fairly high price tags. To save the family budget, you can cheat a little: choose a fitted sheet with an elastic band for a round bed, and use standard rectangular ones for all other accessories. Another popular option is to have custom-made linens for a round bed. This solution has its advantages - the ability to choose the density of the fabric and color, the set completely matches the size of the furniture - the sheet will lie perfectly, without unnecessary tension or folds.
The following tips will help you decide when choosing a mattress for a round bed:
- It is best to pay attention to products made from natural materials and filler.
- The most practical option is round winter-summer mattresses, which are suitable for any season. You just need to remember to turn them over depending on the weather outside the window.
- The thickness should be greater than the height of the sides, if any.
As for the mattress cover for a round bed, it must be present, protecting the internal filling from spilled liquids or animal claws. Preference should be given to models made of dense materials with elastic.
Manufacturers
A high-quality round bed should not only be comfortable and attractive in appearance, but also provide a long service life. Furniture from reliable manufacturers meets these requirements, so it is important to study the possible options in advance and read reviews about the products of a particular brand.
