studio bedroom

[chat noir]

I am moving into a flat in a few weeks time and it's a studio bedroom. I wasnt really happy with that but the rest of the flat is amazing, brand new and everything so I went with it anyway I was wondering if anyone had any tips on seperating a bedroom from a living room in a reasonably small space? I suspect it will be either a bed or a sofabed, not both a bed and a sofa. Im on a tight budget too..any advice appreciated! thankee!

the rest of the flat is amazing!

You mean the bathroom and the kitchen!


Whats the layout of the room, have you bought or is it rented?

Have you signed a contract yet?

haha..yes, that is what I mean
its just square as far as I can remember, with some random arches near the edge of the room. it's rented, and havent signed a contract yet.

Personnally I'd just make it look like a living room with a sofabed and try and keep anything that's bedroomy to a minimum. Trying to fit 2 rooms into 1 will just mean they're both small.

If you're handy with a saw what about something like this?

I was thinking about that last night, mind you Im a girl and doubt I even know how to saw and my other half is too impatient.

I wonder if you can get those sofa things with a double bed over them?

Tell him he's a lazy git then! and he won't be able to stay over if he doesn't make one!

They're called loft beds, Ikea do one: http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/90064380

Just a tip:

Ive tried applying for one but no such luck

nah tbh most of the things Ive got listed arent expensive. the most expensive is £6!

to freddymercuriestwin... those loft bed things look good - do you know if there is a weight limit on them? Im paranoid aaaand how do I know if they are double or not? it doesnt seem to say.

Well I'm not sure they'd be able to cope with more than 2 at a time! Just what had you in mind? It does say you can fit a 140cm mattress which I believe is a double, not a big double but a double nonetheless. You'll have to both clamber up there in Ikea and see if you can cope!
Absolutely no rumpypumpy in the store though.
