They are simply irreplaceable in small apartments, where the problem of rational distribution of space and the use of interior accessories is especially acute... The shelving above the bed is an architectural novelty designed to complement the design of your bedroom and add functionality to it for storing things or decor.

Their aesthetic functions simply cannot be ignored. They create coziness and a warm atmosphere in the house, because you can put lighted candles or incense sticks on them, place memorable photos.

The shelf is a modern accessory for any wallet that allows you to transform a bedroom, get a pleasant impression of being in your own room. Be sure to purchase or make a bedside shelf - this element of interior decoration is really worthy of attention. There are the following types of products:

• shelves above the bed at the head;
• wide horizontal shelves;
• shelves in the recess above the bed;
• shelves, bedside tables or combined with bedside tables.

If your rack has only a decorative function, then the matter is behind competent decoration and stylish gizmos that can be identified on this shelf: vases, flowers, souvenirs, photographs in beautiful frames, posters with motivating phrases. These shelves have different original designs: in the form of various geometric shapes, backlit, dividers, slopes. If your shelf will have a certain functional load, then it is not worth placing it very high, since it will be inconvenient to get the necessary items: keys, phone, wallet.

The color of the product should match the tone of the walls and / or the bed, but not copy it, otherwise it seems that everything around is shapeless and seems to float in the air. Contrasting colors distinguish the shelf from the general interior and make it the "protagonist" of the bedroom, which is not at all desirable. The richer the colors in your interior, the easier you can find the shelf. Nevertheless, no one has canceled the classics yet. The white shelf is a classic and win-win option. It will fit absolutely any design solution.

Modern manufacturers offer an interesting choice.

• Practical horizontal shelf. This option is simple and convenient: the shelf is located at the headboard and is in harmony with the style of the bedroom. More often it has a functional purpose. You need to attach them not very high, otherwise you will have to stand up on purpose in order to take some thing. It is better to buy such shelves in pastel colors so that they do not "quarrel" with the general mood of the bedroom.

• Recessed shelf above the bed. Such a shelf is ergonomic and safe, eliminates the possibility of falling on your head if not properly attached. So you can equip bookshelves. This is ideal for a child's bedroom. In its corner, you can place a lamp or other source of diffused light to change the lighting to a more original one. In children's rooms, nightlights with stars are often installed and various planetariums, so bewitching children. And also such a shelf is an excellent way out for a modest space.

• Modular headboard design. Typically, these bed modules are very stable because they are secured with special single-spaced anchor bolts for added safety. Most often, to buy a modular design, you need to place an order, which allows you to designate the necessary characteristics and style in advance. The color and material of the modules should be in harmony with the overall interior, you can negotiate special wishes for the number of modules in order to maximize all the essentials.

• The module combines a rack with a bedside table and a bedside table, often even with a wardrobe cabinet. In such structures, you can store anything you want: from jewelry on the shelf to clothes. The cabinet always has doors that hide objects inside from prying eyes. And also modular designs are very ergonomic and organize the space as much as possible, creating a separate corner, similar to an office for working with a computer or a reading room, where you can retire.

• Shelving unit with a curbstone at the head of the bed. Most often, such a structure is connected to the bed itself. There is no need to fix it at the headboard, the bed itself is the support for the shelf, and the design idea allows you to make the most of the space.

Different materials are used for the production of shelves.

• Wood. The most popular material for shelves from time immemorial. It is acceptable in any style, its special appearance lends authenticity and comfort to any life. Although you can go further and change the look of a wooden product by covering it with varnish or enamel to match the bedroom decor: the texture of the wood will give the shelf a kind of shabby chic (from English shabby chic - an interior style with elements of wear and tear).

• Polymeric materials. Such shelves have become favorites with designers relatively recently, but have already gained confidence due to their hypoallergenicity and high manufacturability. A full palette of colors is available to such shelves, which other materials cannot afford. They are easy to maintain, light in weight and give the entire bedroom a modern look.

• Glass. To visually expand the space, glass and mirrored shelves are purchased. They must be handled with great care due to their fragility. The installation of such shelves requires experience and skill; it is better to entrust this business to professionals. Before purchasing, inspect the product for chips so as not to get hurt in the future.
