How to Choose Beds for a Loft Apartment

In a loft apartment the bed is rarely tucked away behind a closed door. More often it is on display, seen from the sofa, the kitchen and the front door, which changes what makes a good choice. This guide works through the questions that matter most. Will the bed be visible from the living space, and is the headboard finished on the back? How do high warehouse ceilings and sloping roof conversions affect headboard height and placement? Which materials suit exposed brick, steel windows and timber beams, from slim metal frames to warm leather and soft upholstery? We also explain how to define a sleeping zone with rugs, dividers and lighting, how to choose a size that respects the rest of the open space, and how to plan storage where walls are scarce. Finally, we cover access, blackout blinds and acoustics, helping you choose a bed that suits both your loft and your sleep....
