Be a Hero to your Kids…By Giving Them Flying Room with Loft or Cabin Beds
One of the smallest and most cramped living spaces typically involves your child’s room. When there are two or more children sharing the living quarters, things can get quite tight. Storage is at a premium, furnishings fight for room and the overall joy and life of the room gets overshadowed. Smart mums and dads know that there are ways to remedy this situation. Using practical and kid friendly furniture will use less space and make the tiniest room appear much larger. This does not have to involve interior designers or makeover experts.
There is a simple way for parents to transform children’s rooms and it involves the use of a loft bed or a cabin bed. These two bedroom space savers will give your kids the room they need to fly, or at least pretend to do so. By using a loft bed, you are lifting the actual bed about five feet from the floor space and it is supported by a dresser at one end and a desk at the other. Kids adore having the high bed to sleep in and parents love the new look of the room. The space under the bed is quickly put to use for either storage or fun. You can even choose to have the dresser and the desk face inward and make further use of the underbed space. This makes it possible to use this loft bed in very small quarters indeed. The bed itself will be fitted with a small ladder and guardrail to prevent accidents. The height is just the right size for younger children to safely use, yet make them feel as though they are on a grand adventure.
Kids love loft beds because they feel as though they are flying when they climb the ladder and curl up among the stars. You can even add to this effect by transforming a plain, uninspiring ceiling with glow in the dark stickers or stars and planets. Your kids will love it and won’t have to be coaxed to go to bed in the evening. They are ready to go to bed and let their imagination whisk them away on a new space or travel adventure every night.
Cabin beds likewise help transform the appearance of small rooms by providing a bed that has its storage space underneath. These cabin or captain’s beds have 2- 4 drawers nestled neatly and securely under the mattress. The mattress itself may sit a bit higher than the usual single bed depending on the size of the drawers beneath. These storage compartments make great use of this usually overlooked space located beneath the bed frame.
These drawers have room for all of a child’s clothing to be neatly folded and stacked. Tucked under the mattress area, the drawers are easily accessed when needed and provide ample storage for clothing or toys. You can choose to do without a dresser entirely and use just a cabin bed for a child’s storage and bedspace. This is also a great piece of furniture for your kids because it makes the storage space seem secret and more personal. Many kids will use their new underbed storage space to keep their most valuable possessions safe.
