Podium bed, of course, the original piece of furniture. A similar way to sleep was coined in Japan. Here they slept on beds equipped with storage modules for clothes, dishes and other necessary things. Only two types of such constructions are popular in Russia. The first one is a podium with wooden paneling, on top of which a mattress is placed. The second is a wooden frame already with shelves or a metal frame.
Often, architects and designers say that the bed-podium is a real find for the lazy. In the daytime, you can have a snack and drink tea, and at night just lay a mattress and sleep. Humor humor, but this handy thing has recently become increasingly popular.

Shelves and lockers in the bed: convenience, practicality and functionality
This type of design can contain both a bed and a bedside table, and shelves. Options for combining different functions - weight, depending on your preferences. Sliding drawers are a great alternative to dressers and cupboards. These inconspicuous storage places place a lot of things in themselves. The shelves themselves are different in width and height - it all depends on the size of the podium.
In order to save space
Most often, a bed-podium is a good saving both on the use of the room space, and on the cost of the furniture itself. Such a solution is particularly appropriate in studio apartments.
Arranging a sleeping place on the podium suggests a couple of interesting ideas. The bed can be located on the podium, and the space under it can serve as a library or a mini wardrobe.
Conversely, when the bed is arranged under the runway. Before bed, such a bed can be easily extended, and in the afternoon it can be pushed in, freeing up additional space in the room.

In the interior, the design of the catwalk under the bed sometimes plays a key role in creating style. After all, besides the traditional rectangular podiums, there are also round ones. Such furniture in the room looks incredibly impressive and original, but here we must understand that this is not an option for every interior. If the room is small, then a bed with a volume round podium will only clutter up the space, make it cramped.

There is no desire to build a podium - get a bed with a platform with built-in drawers. Tip: choose a model where the containers are located around the perimeter of the platform, and not just from one side.
Couple of beds
Here, two pull-out beds are hidden under the catwalk, which has greatly saved valuable square meters. The elevation itself is multifunctional: it serves as a bedside table, a stage for children's home performances, and a place to sit, and there is also a working area on top of it.
