Kids and Baby Design Ideas

Parents looking for extra storage solutions in a child’s bedroom can’t go wrong with a platform bed that includes underbed drawers. For stray toys, extra clothes, bed linen and more, having extra storage in your child’s room is bound to come in handy.

Many models of kids platform beds include other storage solutions as well, such as book shelves in the headboard or cubbies built into the footboard. You’ll find variations on these designs ranging from all-in-one beds to separate pieces like an added hutch, bench, or trunk intended to work together.

Platform Beds Kids Love

When you’re, redesigning a child’s room you’ll want to make it fun. That’s great, but practicality is important too. Contemporary storage platform beds meet booth needs. Along with storage solutions, platform models come in a variety of styles and finishes, making it easy to choose a look that fits your child’s taste and existing décor.

Choose a platform bed from a popular collection to easily coordinate other furniture purchases and effortlessly create a theme. Prepac kids’ beds are a great example of both all-inclusive and modular designs, part of matching collections that can build an entire bedroom.

When considering a bunk bed for your children’s room, the first thing you should know is that it won’t stay a bunk bed for long. It will magically transform itself into a pirate ship, a fort or the northeast tower of a faraway castle. It will be the ringside seat to many an adventure.

Bunk Beds are Popular

Not only are bunk beds a popular choice when decorating a bedroom that is to be shared by siblings, it is also an easy decorating fix for small rooms. Since most kids will be tempted to treat a bunk bed like a jungle gym, there are some things to consider, especially if you’re purchasing one for the first time.

Bunk Beds for 6 and up

If one or more of your children you are buying the bunk bed for is under six, plan on putting them on the bottom bunk. If they don’t have an older sibling who will sleep in the top bunk, wait until they are older; then their motor skills will be developed enough to handle climbing.

Bunk Bed Safety

You want them to be as safe as possible. Ensure that the bunk bed you’re interested in meets all current safety standards; the top bunk is enclosed (all four sides) and is made of eco-friendly materials including a non-toxic paint or stain finish. To prevent the most common accidents associated with bunk beds, set a small handful of ground rules that can be easily enforced by you such as no jumping off the top bunk and using the ladder at all times.
