DIY bed with lighting from below. Bed made of pallets with lighting: unusual do-it-yourself furniture (25 photos)

Everyone strives to make their home truly unique, but attention different rooms At the same time, they pay different attention. Most often, experiments begin to be carried out in the bedroom, since it is hidden from others and can be completely decorated only in accordance with the wishes of the owners. Do unique interior bedrooms are not that difficult. Just half an hour, for example, will be required to organize lighting under the bed using LED strip. You can handle its installation yourself.

There are several LED strips, so you will need to start by choosing this material. 220 Volt LED strips are considered the most affordable. But this option is not very suitable for the bedroom, since the emitted light is too bright and cannot be adjusted. An ordinary LED strip, which is sold literally everywhere, will also not require much expense. However, you will need to purchase an additional unit.

RGB tape is an option for those who want to make the lighting under the bed unusual. There are many shade options in this tape. A special remote control can be used to control the glow. The RGB controller and control panel are sold separately from the tape.

The cost of these options differs, but in practice the investment is worth it. The interior looks better the more expensive materials used for lighting.

The required length of the tape is quite easy to determine. To do this, you need to decide where exactly the LEDs will be mounted and measure the bed. It is worth adding at least five percent to the data obtained in order to avoid future possible problems. It is advisable to resolve connection issues in advance. The options depend on the type of LED strip selected.

The bottom of the bed is best suited for mounting the lighting. The lighting in this case is optimal for the bedroom. Long time The tape can be held in place by clamps. If you cannot use them due to the characteristics of the bed, you can choose other options. When using glue, the attachment points should be degreased with purified gasoline or alcohol. After installing the tape and connecting all the provided elements to each other, you need to check the functionality of the backlight. At correct actions it will start working immediately.

Durlight can also be used instead of LED strip. It will cost less, but the characteristics are practically the same. But at the same time, some people do not like its glow, so you need to focus on personal tastes and preferences.

There is nothing complicated, but there are still a number of nuances that are best taken into account before attaching it. That's why we wrote this, we hope, detailed instructions.

Let's first figure out what kind of lighting you bought?

If it was purchased in ours, then everything will be clear to you, because we will analyze the installation using its example.
If in another store, then just look at the principle and apply it to your copy.
Let us immediately note that the standard illumination for the bottom of the bed from the Belmarco plant has only one glow color (warm white). It is not possible to select other colors as they use a single color LED strip and not an RGB strip. They do not have a remote control, they are equipped with a standard on/off button. Therefore, information about setting the remote control modes will not be relevant for people who bought such a backlight.

So let's get started...

1) Check the backlight for functionality.

The very first thing you need to do is check that the purchased backlight works. To do this, connect all the elements, see if the battery is inserted into the remote control (if you have one) and connect to the network. Make sure it turns on and off and that all the LEDs on the strip light up. We test all of our lights for functionality before selling them, so there shouldn’t be any problems with them. If you bought it elsewhere and it did not work during a test run, it is better to immediately return it to the seller.

2) Assemble the machine bed frame

Next, you need to assemble the bed frame of the car, this will make it much more convenient to install the lighting.
- attach blocks to the sides of the bed on which the slats will lie under the mattress
- connect the sides to the front of the bed and the back

3) Determine where the outlet is closest

Now think about which side is better for you to connect the backlight power wire to. If the socket is closer to the front of the bed, you will need to start gluing the LED strip from the front. If the socket is closer to the back, then we will start gluing the tape there.

4) The backlight on the crib is glued to the side

Next important point. The LED strip is glued to the side of the crib, under wooden blocks so that the light from it does not come down, as real motorists are used to, but to the side, to the opposite side of the car. Therefore, it can be glued both to the near side and to the far side. We recommend gluing on the far one, i.e. the one located near the wall. In this case, it will provide more light in the room, so it will perform the function of a night light better. In addition, our backlights have the ability to adjust the brightness, so you can always choose optimal level glow. The manufacturer "Belmarco" advises to glue it to the near one so that the room is not very light at night, because they do not have any brightness adjustments.

5) Securely fasten the backlight control section

Before the beginning of the tape itself, which is directly glued to the bed, there is a piece of wire in white thermal insulation about 20-30 cm. It contains a control unit, which is responsible for adjustment and operation of the remote control. To avoid damaging this unit, we recommend securing it with two cable cleats to the front or back of the bed, carefully hammering them in place. This will also help prevent the tape from being torn off the bed if children accidentally or deliberately pull on the edge of the wire or the backlight power supply.

6) Carefully glue the backlight to one side of the car bed

You can start installing the backlight by just nailing this piece of wire. But as practice has shown, it is more convenient to first glue some part of the backlight, and then nail the initial piece. The LED strip is quite easy to apply. Little by little you tear yourself away from her protective film and gradually, pressing it to the base, glue it along the entire length. If the edge of the tape remains, wrap it and glue it to the back of the bed (or to the front if you started gluing from the back).

Backlight mode settings from the remote control:

Red On/Off button.

If suddenly it does not respond to pressing, check whether the power supply is plugged into the outlet. If everything is in order with the power supply, see if the small LED located on the remote control lights up. If it does not respond to pressing, check whether you inserted the battery into the remote control correctly and whether it is there at all. If you have been using the backlight for a long time and the LED starts to glow dimly, you should replace the battery in the remote control. You can buy it at a computer store, a watch workshop, or other stores. Its name is CR2025. Don't buy cheap batteries; the best quality ones currently sold are GP and Sony.

Color + and Color – buttons

With these buttons we change the backlight color. About 20 colors available.

Bright + and Bright – buttons

They are used to adjust the brightness of the backlight. In some remote control models, the brightness is stepped - it is easier to adjust it by frequently pressing these buttons. In other remote control models, the brightness is smooth, so it is better to press and hold this button until the required brightness level. Please note that you can select the brightness level only on static colors (when one color is lit); in dynamic (blinking) mode the brightness level does not work.

Demo button

This is the demo mode button. When you press it, the backlight will flicker in the standard mode.

Mode + and Mode – button

With them we select the dynamic/flickering mode we need. There are about 19 species. It should be noted that brightness adjustment does not work in this mode. Therefore, if you want to change the brightness of the flickering mode, then first select a single color, change its brightness, and then select the required dynamic mode.

Speed + and Speed – button

Serve to regulate the speed of dynamic modes. You can make the shimmer or shimmer slower or faster. Accordingly, they work only with these modes and will not give any effect in others (single modes).

Many people dream of turning their bedroom into something extraordinary, because this is a place where you need to relax and hide from the whole world. We advise you to pay attention to a bed with lighting, which can decorate any interior, give it mystery and originality.

In the bedroom, the main attribute is the bed. Therefore, lighting should mainly emphasize this piece of furniture. The best option would be to organize lighting in this area. To beautifully emphasize the design, you need to pay attention to such parts as the overall contour of the bed, decorative design backrests It is also advisable to further emphasize bed sheets

and a blanket.

When choosing lighting, you should adhere to the following rules:
exclude the presence of bright light on a smooth glossy surface;
do not use green and blue colors;

to make the white light warmer, more muted, you should add a little bright reflection.

There are four types of lighting you can use for your bed:
from an LED strip with a built-in wi-fi module, thanks to which the lighting can be controlled using your own smartphone, changing the hue, brightness and many more additional functions;
bed lighting with a motion sensor, allowing you to turn on the lights if necessary;
lighting made of duralight, which is a luminous cord.

Each option has its own characteristics and advantages. Each of them can be purchased already built-in with the bed or installed independently.

Locations

The location of the bed lighting depends on many factors: design features, the interior of the bedroom and its parameters, and the personal wishes of the owners. Let us examine separately the lighting features of each part of the structure.

At the head

The head of the bed is most often equipped with lighting. Lighting fixtures that can be used here:

Spotlights;
LED bulbs;
LED Strip Light.

The option of directing flows of white light from the headboard to the top looks beautiful and modern. If you want to add beauty and functionality to this part of the design, you can install mirrors or small shelves.

Often, instead of a headboard, a bedside niche is equipped with additional light. LED lighting is used for this.

From below

A bed equipped with lighting from below looks luxurious. To make the interior lighter and more modern, you can use a so-called “floating” bed on discreet legs, which is complemented by lighting from an LED strip attached around the perimeter.

To connect the backlight with my own hands, you will need to do the following:

first of all, it is necessary to secure the tape by putting a cap on each end;
then you should put on the adapters and immediately attach the plugs to them;
check the operation of the LED backlight;
Now you can start fixing the backlight. This will require special fastenings that are screwed to the bed with self-tapping screws;
Once the strip is fully attached, you can plug the strip into a pre-prepared extension cord and enjoy a beautifully illuminated bed.

If you have the skills to work with electrical wiring, you can do everything more carefully by installing hidden wiring with a dedicated switch for lighting.

Illuminated podium

The podium bed looks impressive and stylish. In addition, it helps to significantly save space. And if you add lighting to this furniture, then in the dark a “floating effect” will be created. This is also convenient, since at night the possibility of falling will be eliminated due to the lighting of the step.

In order to organize lighting in this part of the structure, two options are used:

Spotlights;
LED Strip Light.

Often, additional storage boxes are built into the podium. Here it is imperative to provide lighting that will help maintain order and create comfortable conditions for the user.

Children's models

For any child, their own room is a space where they can enjoy play, relaxation or their own fantasies. In order to make this world more interesting for a child, you should think about purchasing a children's bed designed in the shape of your favorite cartoon characters.

A wide variety of car beds have been developed for boys that will help the child imagine himself in the role of a racer. The best option there will be a bed equipped with lighting. It will be very interesting to sleep in a car with glowing headlights and dimensions.

Car beds have also been designed for girls in a more delicate pink or white design. Additional lighting can be installed in the following areas:

headlights;
street racing lower lighting;
lower contour headlights, which are cilia.

These models are equipped remote control, allowing you to adjust the lighting from a distance.

Children are often afraid of the dark, so a bed with additional lighting will be a great alternative to a night light. You can arrange additional lighting in the bedroom above the bed, which will make children's sleep more calm. To do this, you can use spotlights or LED strip.

The bed is the most important piece of furniture for any person. Therefore, you should approach its choice thoroughly:

the frame is the main part of any furniture, so it is worth choosing it to match the overall interior of the bedroom. It is also worth paying attention to the strength characteristics of this element, since it is on him that the heavy foundation will fall;
the base provides comfortable rest conditions, so it is worth choosing an orthopedic structure made of bent-glued wooden lamellas;
the mattress must be made of natural and durable materials. It should also be comfortable;
size sleeping place also plays very important role. When choosing, you should pay attention to the number of people sleeping in the room, as well as their build;
The bed lighting must be built in efficiently and safely, and also be in working condition. When purchasing, you should pay attention to the quality of the electrical wiring connection and evaluate its safety.

When purchasing furniture, you should pay attention only to functional models that have a quality certificate and sanitary and hygienic conclusions.
