Picking out furniture for a childs bedroom is exciting for both the parent and the child. Many furniture manufacturers specialize in childrens bedroom sets that stand the test of time. Investing in an attractive and durable bedroom set that will serve the childs purpose now and in the future requires careful thought and planning. A thorough inspection of each piece to make sure that there are no sharp edges will provide peace of mind. Also, check the drawers see if they open easily and provide enough space for clothing and storage. When choosing furniture, keep in mind that the most durable
kids bedroom sets are made of solid wood.
Plan for the Future
Choose a childrens bedroom set that is multifunctional and grows with the needs of the child. Think of a configuration that will fit the layout of the room. Storage drawers, bins and bookcases can house stuffed animals and toys when the child is very young, and text books and electronic equipment as the child grows older. When you purchase childrens furniture pieces from an established furniture manufacturer, you often have the option of adding pieces that match the set at a later date.
Decide on a Look
Before choosing pieces a bedroom collection, it is a good idea to settle on a look for the room that suits your childs personality. For a little girl who loves pink and frills, a collection like
Jessica McClintock Romance by Lea Furniture is ideal. The rich cherry finish and sleigh bed styling from Coaster Furnitures Louise Philippe collection is perfect for a boys room, while an airy coastal look from manufacturers like Legacy Classic Furniture provides a relaxed, beach house feeling for both boys and girls.
Bed Styles
Children love to sleep at the top of a loft or bunk bed. The advantage of a loft bed is that the lower area below can be designed as a cozy play or study space. Some bunk beds have storage for clothing or toys. A traditional twin sized bed with a headboard and footboard can become the focal point of a room. Some twin beds feature convenient storage drawers underneath.
Choosing the Pieces
Childrens bedroom set collections often come with the same options as adult bedroom furniture, and manufacturers may offer even more choices. A typical bedroom set will provide a dresser, a bed, a chest of drawers and a night stand. Some groupings offer extra items like a computer desk and chair, a vanity and bench, a bookcase and a hutch. Accessories like mirrors may also be available. When making your choices, be sure to think about what the child will need as he or she grows.
