Wardrobe bed, pull-up bed, loft bed only suitable for mini student dorms

A sleeping gallery where there is still decent space around the mattress works for a 1-room apartment

I think it depends on the size of the apartment. I would like to have a large apartment with many rooms and high ceilings. Possibly, if the rooms are a bit smaller, suspended ceilings at 2.8m. In studio apartments, I find a sleeping loft cool – but only for the younger generation. If the main tenants are seen as students, then yes to a loft bed. Otherwise, I would possibly line the last meter to the ceiling with built-in cabinets, at least on one side – as storage space for things that are not used very often. However, I would always weigh whether the construction and maintenance effort is really worth it. In an area with low rents, I would furnish the apartments rather cheaply and simply. If the tenant wants a loft bed, they can gladly install it themselves. In student apartments in high-priced locations, good furnishings including a loft bed would certainly be an option, which would also affect the rent. For apartments, I would generally always calculate how much the conversion costs spread over 20, 30 years – and whether that really results in higher monthly payments. This is also how the decision against a balcony in a rental apartment was made for us. It does not pay off.

Balcony is also a question. What do you mean by that, you decided against the balcony? Did you not build one or did you not rent an apartment with a balcony?

The question was whether a balcony should be installed on top of a two-family house that was going to be rented out. But it wouldn't have been worth it. So there is only a little railing in front of the patio door and a dining and barbecue area outside. For cost reasons, there was also no new staircase – who likes to pay at least 50 euros more per month just so visitors over 1.90m don’t have to duck their heads? And so on. In another rental apartment, the screed in the bathroom seems to have cracked and 2 tiles are broken. But they are only at the edge and not noticeable. It was quickly smeared over with silicone and mentioned during the tenant change. Nobody minds it. But renovating the bathroom because of that? Nope. It's never worth it.

I am over 40 and will soon buy a loft bed again. The ceiling height is only 2.55m (and according to the article description, the bed requires at least 2.70 m height - I absolutely cannot understand that) - but it fits perfectly, I already know that. The feeling of sleeping on a loft bed is simply incomparable. And since I currently have to sleep on a camp bed because my husband snores like crazy at night, a second bed will definitely be brought into the house now. The issue with having to get up at night has been perfectly resolved since I reduced my intake from 1.5-2 liters to only 1 liter. Since then, I can finally sleep through the night again.
