Sofa bed in the kitchen with a sleeping place

Folding sofa can provide comfort not only to the living rooms of the apartment, but also the average size of the kitchen. Although in our minds such a luxurious piece of furniture is not yet associated with the working premises have a soft corner for a short break will be pleased to each owner. In addition, when the modest dimensions of the rest of the housing stock or relatives coming to stay, kitchen is quite possible to use the sofa as an extra bed.

select the Features

If the kitchen sofa is not planned to lay too often, and the family budget allows you to make an expensive purchase, you can stay at the elegant models in Europe. In more severe conditions as an extra bed will be much more reliable folding sofas domestic producers.

Choosing the sofa design style will leave at the mercy of the owners of houses and designers. But performance and materials require a reasonable approach. Otherwise, how to combine atypical

kitchen interior upholstered furniture with premises in which it is constantly being cooked and fried?

Design

The preferred use of the kitchen corner compact models, but relatively high. This design folded perfectly replace a set of chairs at the dinner table, but it will be quite spacious, so that you can lie down and have a rest for one person. But being decomposed sofa will increase at least twice, so that the whole will double in the kitchen (see. Photo).

Dimensions

Here it is necessary to build on the size of the kitchen, observing the simple ratio: the larger the space, the larger must be the sofa. Failure to do so will lead to the fact that the furniture or overload the kitchen area, or get lost in the vastness of it, losing gloss.

Upholstery

When choosing sofa Kitchen to its upholstery imposed the most stringent requirements. It should not be very Brand coloring well endure wet cleaning, and preferably with cleaning means. These properties have a fully modern skin substitutes, at an affordable price, they are not inferior to natural leather. Suit and synthetic water-repellent fabric.

Most of the sofa bed is equipped with a capacious boxes, which is convenient to store linen kits and extra bedding. This solution is perfect for the kitchen and upholstered furniture.

The folding mechanism

Sofa-transformer system for kitchen should be simple and reliable. And if the place is for him already precisely defined, it is necessary to include all of their spatial imagination to estimate - if "clamshell" will cling to the surrounding furnishings.

Almost any kitchen is well-behaved fold-out book, "click-klyak" with three lockable backrest positions, "Cerezyme" and the so-called French clamshell. But from the complex three-part design in a relatively small kitchen areas should be abandoned - too big they "swing". These include some models of "accordion" type or a more complex 'til. "

Folding sofa with rolling out the lower part has the right to settle in the kitchen, only if the flooring is quite resistant to this type of testing.

Tiles or even a thin carpet with a short nap normally outsource unfolding models such as the Euro-book, "dolphin" or American clamshell (see. Photo). When you purchase is necessary to check the operation of all the mechanisms and ensure strength, and most importantly, low noise bearing structure. Squeaky sofa beds not only spoil the night's rest, but will last for long.

Create a sofa of your dreams

Those who are on friendly terms with the instrument and wants to save money, can make the sofa itself, taking into account all the dimensions of your own kitchen.

For the manufacture of materials needed are quite affordable:

• wide boards thickness is 5 cm or MDF sheets;
• Fiberboard and dry wooden beam of a small section;
• frame or furniture panels for manufacturing seat and backrest;
• or spring blocks dense foam for stuffing;
• batting and upholstery fabric;
• fasteners, hinges and other hardware.

Making the kitchen folding sofa type of books do not require a lot of time and effort. Here the main thing - the right to establish a mechanism of transformation. All work is carried out in several stages:

Preparation bearing construction details

On one of the furniture boards with the help of patterns applied drawing the future edge of the sofa back and drill the holes, so it was convenient to have a sawing jigsaw. Markings on the cutting edge and run on the back of the additional cut-out in the shape of a rhombus. Grind all the ends of the pre-fixing part on the workbench, and then thoroughly clean the back of the chips and dust.

In the same manner to prepare other wooden structural elements (the seat frame, a pair of legs, armrests, front jumper). Profile cutters to round all the edges on the front side sawed parts.

If the wooden elements are planned to hide under the skin, they should be toned stained or impregnated wood with a decorative effect and reveal the furniture varnish.

frame assembly

Secure support bar on the seat mounting height on the inner wall surface. It must be placed horizontally and fixed at least at three points. Then you need to set the bar at the top of a wooden rail and screws to fasten her seat hinges.

If your kitchen double sofa would not be anywhere "move" in parts, the canopies is better to use non-removable. Alternatively, it is possible to make the feedback loop of average two lateral.

At the very seat frame mount will need a few more loops that will clean up the support legs folding kitchen sofa. Then you need to collect the resulting structure with a prepared back.

sheathing

Place the stuffing and sheathe batting new furniture and upholstery fabric. For the kitchen sofa makes sense just to sew a removable zip pouch, as even the best fabric in the kitchen quickly soiled and soaked with different flavors.

sofa model with ducts for clothes

Materials for manufacturing such a couch is possible to peep in the previous example. Not only need furniture boards - they will replace the natural board and MDF sheets. But the procedure works and the construction itself will be noticeably different. The result is a very simple and reliable system "Euro-book" with spacious sections for storing bedding.

The base for a sofa is common frame, assembled on the screws of 5 mm plaque size of 65 x 190 x 15 cm. To increase the strength at the corners of the box enhanced by wooden bars, and in the lower part of the perimeter established by the rack. They will only have to nail fiberboard sheet to the frame turned into a box with a closed bottom, it is very easy to store clothes. The base can be mounted on carved legs or rigidly fix the two arms by web.

Frameworks for the seat and backrest are made on the same principle, but have dimensions of 70 x 195 cm and veneered MDF with both sides. Since both items will be full beds to thin skin does not "play" lists, you need to both frame gash small transverse bars as thick as 5 cm in increments of no more than 10 cm.

Seat Sidewall: to give a lift-up seat L-shaped cross-section to its wide outer edge rigidly fastened a thick sheet of chipboard.

the transformation of the system: the mechanism is difficult to call, as for the conversion of the sofa into a comfortable bed just put on a collapsible base loop back, as well as making the grooves in the box. Counter rack on the back side of the seat are easy to slide in these grooves when vydviganii.

Sofa ready, and the last stage - lining soft materials. Rather than simply filling the frame glued with thick slabs of polyurethane foam and upholstered for soft and dense foam hollofaybera. It remains only to pick up a good fabric and "dress" in her new tenant cuisine.
