5. Expert advice
According to the latest research from Zhihu’s top home furnishing answerer @SpaceMagician:The optimal distance between bed and window is 40-50cm, which can ensure ventilation and avoid direct sunlight. Douyin’s popular renovation blogger “King of Small Apartment Renovation” recommends:Use a swivel bed frame, erecting it against the wall during the day can free up 75% of the floor space.
6. Pitfall avoidance guide
1. Be wary of “Internet celebrity hot models”: some folding beds actually have a load capacity of only 150kg, so you need to check the quality inspection report before purchasing.
2. Pay attention to the size error: the "10cm tragedy" that is hotly discussed on the Internet - the conflict between the bed body and the switch panel/socket position
3. Choose carefully in the south: platform beds are prone to mold during the rainy season and need to be used with a moisture-proof coating.
From the above data analysis, it can be seen that the placement of beds in small bedrooms needs to be combined with the specific apartment type, living habits and storage needs. It is recommended to measure the exact size first, and then refer to popular solutions for personalized adjustments.
