Add Another Half Room in Your Dwelling or Studio

Turn out to be a loft bed champion immediately after you realize the possibilities that exist for you to save dollars by making use of loft bed plans, and building it on your own. If you live in a big city and have a shoe box for an apartment, you will be fired up to attain an extra forty-two (42) square feet (s.f.) whenever you put a king size loft bed in your town-house. The room you generate below your loft bed will be left to your imagination while I try to share ideas with you through the words of this article.

Right now, I am back in our daughter's shoe box very little area she called an residence in New York City. Imagine you walk through the front door of a place 15 feet wide by 30 feet deep and the first ten feet is your miniature (literally) kitchen on the

right and your bathroom and a closet on the left. Then you are inside the remaining 300 s.f. of room where the two of you are supposed to dwell harmoniously until death do you part.

Here's what they did... once beyond the kitchen on the right was a small dining table and on the left was the "living" room consisting of an Ikea dream of one rock hard couch and an equally as hard love seat, a small cocktail table and an eight foot open bookshelf filled nicely and developing the screen for the bedroom on the other side. A nice touch, all things considered.

Re-orient yourself to the space just beyond the kitchen to your right as you came in the door where you find the little dining table. Eyeing that wall to the rear wall, the decor was as follows: 1. the TV, visible from both living and sleeping

areas; and, 2. large dresser wardrobe running to the rear wall. Opposite the wardrobe and behind the improvised open bookshelf screen is the bed and one small night stand. That's it, the complete apartment. I didn't mention it, but the

ceilings were quite high. From memory, I would say they were at least twelve feet, which is more than enough for our complete remodeling.

We are about to add over eighty square feet to this property by using loft bed plans to decide on the loft bed types which will enable us to add three loft beds to this arrangement. These same beds can be broken down and moved with us later to save tons

of New York cash as you move from place to place.

Start out in the living area with me and picture the two Ikea couches at right angles to one another on the closet and left side walls. Over them you will set loft bed frames assuming the couches will fit underneath, otherwise clear away the couches and put in the type of loft beds having futon sofas built-in below. It's your (call|decision) as to whether or not you put mattresses on these bed frames. Pesonally, I would use the mattress area of them for storage, something that doesn't exist in a New York apartment.

Now lets fix that sleeping area behind the open bookshelf screen. Leave the screen intact, remove the nightstand and in its place erect a king size loft bed with a complete home office beneath. There are several designs for king size beds, and

they are absolutely gorgeous. Please see this web site, http://www.loft-bed-plans.biz/loft-bed/loft-bed-plans-for-the-good-life/ for pictures of these amazing arrangements.

No doubt this is unusual bargain, but think about this.... besides using loft bed plans to build your very own home improvement addition, where else can you increase the size of your living area without increasing the size of your monthly housing payments?
