Hanging bedside tables are used in both small apartments and large ones. They do not take up a lot of free space, but at the same time they differ in functionality and spaciousness.

Peculiarities

Hanging pedestals have many advantages.

  • Spaciousness... Even the smallest bedside table is suitable for storing all the things that must always be at hand. There is a place on the shelves for a small table lamp, a phone with a charger, a glass of water and other necessary little things. Larger cabinets can be used to store cosmetics or linen.
  • Attractive appearance... Stylish sideboards look good in any interior. They are suitable both for a large classic-style bedroom and for a small modern room.
  • Small size... Most hanging bedside tables are comfortable and compact. As a rule, they are complemented by only a few shelves and drawers.
  • Easy to clean... Many people also note the fact that after installing such a curbstone, it becomes much easier to clean the room. Dust and dirt do not accumulate under it. You can remove dust from furniture in just a couple of minutes without moving it.
  • Saving space... The rooms in which such furniture is installed look stylish and modern. They save space that can be used in a variety of ways. For example, for storing slippers or baskets with various little things.

But such designs also have their drawbacks. First of all, it should be noted that after installing such furniture, it will be much more difficult to change something in the room... After all, as a rule, hinged pedestals are attached to the wall reliably and firmly.

In addition, if such furniture is not properly secured, it can break off and fall to the floor.

Species overview

There are several main types of pedestals produced by different manufacturers.

  • Square... Such furniture is very practical and functional. Small cabinets of this type are suitable for any type of room. Most often they are complemented by convenient drawers.
  • Round... Such products look quite unusual. They fit perfectly into a modern or high-tech interior.
  • Corner... Such cabinets should be used if there is not enough free space in the bedroom.

And also products of non-standard shape are often found. They look interesting in a loft-style room.

Materials (edit)

When choosing hanging pedestals, you also need to pay attention to the materials from which they are made. There are several options that are most popular with buyers.

Wood

The most popular material for the manufacture of this type of furniture is natural wood. It is of high quality and pleasant smell. It should be noted that natural wood is very malleable. Therefore, products made from it are often decorated with various patterns, making the furniture unique and very beautiful. The disadvantages of hinged pedestals made of wood include their high cost. But the price is quite justified, because such products serve for quite a long time. Most often, several types of wood are used in the process of making hinged pedestals.

  • Nut... This material is of high quality and durability. Moreover, it is easy to process. Therefore, you can find a lot of different original products made of high quality walnut wood. All of them are great for decorating bedrooms for adults and children.
  • Birch... This is one of the cheapest types of wood. It can be easily painted and glued. Therefore, furniture from it will turn out to be simple, but rather pretty.
  • Larch... This material is of high quality and is beneficial to human health. There are also a large number of wood colors.
  • Pine... This wood is soft and pliable. At the same time, it is highly durable and resistant to high humidity and sudden temperature changes. Bedside tables made of such wood can be installed in any room. Over time, they will not lose their attractiveness.
  • Oak... Sturdy oak bedside tables come in a wide variety of colors. All of them are great for creating a cozy home atmosphere in the room.
  • Beech... All products made from this material are durable and long-lasting.

When decorating a modern bedroom, you can choose a hanging cabinet made of any kind of wood.

Chipboard

Those who want to buy a cabinet at a lower price should pay attention to chipboard furniture. It should be remembered that such furniture has a large number of disadvantages. The main one is fragility. Chipboard bedside tables are not very durable. Therefore, a heavy load and frequent use will quickly lead to the fact that the furniture will break. In addition, this material contains formaldehyde resins. Their vapors can greatly harm human health. Therefore, they are definitely not worth buying for a children's bedroom.

Plastic

Lightweight pendant cabinets made from this material are also inexpensive. They are compact and can even be attached to a simple partition. Another plus of products made from this material is that it is very easy to care for them. Plastic cabinets can be simply wiped with a damp cloth. This will get rid of the dust layer.

Many young people like the fact that this kind of furniture comes in different colors.... Therefore, it is very easy to choose a product that will ideally match the interior of the bedroom. The only significant disadvantage of such furniture is its low strength.

Metal

Graceful metal bedside tables most often look like a real work of art. Furniture with handmade decorative details looks best. They look great in the interior of any room.

Glass

Hanging bedside tables with glass details look light and airy. Such products are great for rooms decorated in a minimalist or high-tech style. To create such furniture, you can use frosted, enameled or laminated glass. Products consisting of a large number of colored parts look beautiful.

To improve the appearance of furniture and its performance, special coating materials can be used. As a rule, the following products are used for this purpose:

  • enamel;
  • clear nail polish;
  • veneer;
  • PVC film.

Such furniture looks beautiful and unique. In addition, the use of such impregnations makes it possible to extend its service life.

Design

Appearance plays an important role when choosing furniture. Therefore, when buying, pay attention to the style in which the room is decorated.

Minimalism

Hanging bedside tables in this style look great in bright and spacious rooms. They add lightness and airiness to them. Separately, it should be noted that the absence of unnecessary decorative elements can significantly reduce the cost of production.

High tech

Like the previous style, this one is distinguished by the minimum amount of decorative details used. As a rule, the frames for bedside tables made in this style are metal. They are often decorated with various chrome elements.

Classic

Classic wood furniture looks great in any room... These cabinets go well with other products made from a wide variety of materials.Especially popular are antique-style wooden cabinets.

In some cases, they are complemented by frosted glass inserts or decorative details in beige and milky colors.

Baroque

Lovers of antiquity will also like the unique baroque furniture. It is characterized by the use of a large number of decorative details and curved bends. Such curbstones look very nice.

Country

Country-style hanging furniture looks simple and at the same time rude. It is best suited for decorating spacious and cozy bedrooms. The wooden base is usually complemented by massive metal parts.

Provence

A room in this style also looks very cozy. Its main feature is the use of light wood furniture. When choosing such pedestals, it is important to pay attention to the fact that they go well with the rest of the furniture in the room. As a rule, light-colored things are bought in such a room. For example, white or beige cabinets.

Modern

This style allows you to use furniture of an unusual shape for arranging a room. Things from combined materials fit perfectly into it. For example, furniture made of wood, glass and metal. For bedroom decoration, lightweight cabinets with a glossy or matte surface are suitable.

Selection Tips

When buying wall pedestals, first of all, you need to pay attention to their quality and durability. In order for the furniture to serve as long as possible, you should not save on it. It is also very important to decide on the size of the cabinet before buying. As a rule, they are selected based on the size of the bed. Most often, furniture with a width of 30 to 40 cm is bought for the bedroom. Too long cabinets usually take up a lot of free space. Therefore, they are rarely bought.

The depth of the furniture should be selected based on your own needs. The more things will be stored there, the more roomy the cabinet should be. In addition, when buying, it is important to pay attention to the condition of the handles, doors and drawers. Furniture must be functional, supplemented with moving parts.

And also it is necessary to inspect both the frame of the furniture and its doors. There should be no scratches, chips or dents on the surface of the wood.

Mounting options

Hanging pedestals can be attached to the wall in one of two ways.

On furniture hinges

This installation method is considered budgetary. But at the same time, this process takes quite a long time. The hinge used to secure the cabinet is a sturdy, slotted metal plate. It is attached to the back of the bedside table. A strong screw is screwed into the wall, on which the furniture is hung. In order for everything to go without any problems, it is necessary to take measurements in advance and prepare for the installation of the curbstone.

On mounting strips

This mounting method is simpler. The mounting plate consists of a perforated rail and a hinge. The latter is attached to the inner surface of the side walls of the cabinet. In this case, the hooks extend beyond the rear wall. The rail is mounted to the wall on strong dowels with self-tapping screws. After that, a hinged bedside table is fixed on the mounting plate.

The big disadvantage of this mounting method is that it will take more time. In addition, the cabinet will not fit very tightly to the wall. A hanging bedside table will be a great addition to any bedroom. It is simultaneously used both as a storage system and for decorating a room. The right thing will delight its owners for many years.
