There may be a workspace, a sofa, a play area or a bed for a second child. In this case, it will be easy to convert the lower tier depending on the age and preferences of the child.

The design of the beds is also of considerable importance in the arrangement of the room. High loft beds visually elevate the space with their vertical design. In addition, now there are many models that will decorate the entire room as a whole: unusual combinations of colors, patterned sides, original designs - all this will give a unique style.

A retractable table is one of the original solutions that saves space; you can only use a table when you need it for work, without cluttering it up the rest of the time. Drawers or shelves can be extended together with the table.

You can find models with a long tabletop for two children. This table is convenient because it is very spacious. Usually it is located along the entire perimeter of the bed (or even more).

Corner table is also quite common option for the location of the workplace. Due to the corner, the tabletop turns out to be larger, while at the same time, in another corner, space is made for the cabinet or drawers. In some models, the table is located by the letter "P".

A narrow and long tabletop is not the best choice. It is better to make a wide table so that the child can freely lay hands, place a notebook and textbooks.

The bunk bed is quite high, bulky and heaped, so sometimes it is suspected that it is safe. The unreliability of such furniture can manifest itself at high altitude (there is a risk of falling) and the precariousness of the structure itself.

What you should pay attention to when choosing:

• Children's furniture is designed for weight up to 70 kg.
• Children's products should have strong fittings and strong fastenings to withstand not only a small child, but also a schoolboy.
• How comfortable and safe the staircase is, it is desirable that it be equipped with a railing.
• The height of the bed is selected according to the age and height of the child.
• Environmentally friendly and hypoallergenic materials used.
• The height of the sides should be such that the child does not fall from the second floor in a dream, at the same time, it should not be too high.
• Protruding corners and parts should be smoothed and rounded.

The range of beds is truly huge, in this regard, there may be a problem of choice.

The most important criteria for choosing is the gender and age of the child. This will determine the choice of bed design, colors and models.

Babies need to take a bed that is slightly raised above the floor from 100 to 120 cm so that the child can easily climb up and down. Steps should be of such a form that it was convenient to walk on them, the risk of falling was maximally reduced. The sides must be sufficiently high and durable, because it is at this age that children still do not feel the edges of the bed and most often fall in their sleep.

It is worth paying attention to the material from which the product is made. The best suited wooden array.

For children from 3 years old beds are designed with a play area, all the fixings must be strong.

Children from 5 years old and preschool children can claim a bed taller: from 130 to 160 cm. Here you can place a wardrobe, drawers and a working area under the bed (rollout or not).

Do not forget that this is a very active age, so the bed modules must be strong and withstand the load.

The flight of designer fantasy is limitless when it comes to beds for girls: color solutions, decoration, carved elements, unusual shapes, mirrors, shelves - everything turns into a work of art.

You can pamper yourself and the baby with unusual models in the form of a castle and a palace.

But do not forget about the functionality and practicality. The working area should be well lit and not be blocked by decorative elements, and things should be placed in a spacious wardrobe.

This is the highest model, reaching a height of 180-200 cm. This height allows you to place on the lower tier any set of furniture from cabinets, transformers and working space to a guest sofa. Here you should pay attention to how much weight is able to withstand the design.

The acquisition of a bed complex is a smart decision that will not only save space, but also decorate the room. When choosing a model, you need to pay attention not only to the functionality and safety, but also to the appearance, because the mood of the child will depend on it and his desire is in his room.

Doshkolyatam and kids well choose bright colorful beds. Today there are many models of various forms: cars, trains, boats, airplanes, buses.

To prepare a child for school, you can make prints or posters with letters, numbers, shapes, names of months and days of the week and beautifully place them on the walls of furniture.

Now there are many models designed specifically for active children - there is a playground in the furniture corner itself, there are models with a slide, with a climbing wall and ropes.

The child’s module will be perceived by the child as an attraction that you can climb back and forth, so you should think about safety.

A good solution would be to sheathe sharp protruding parts, corners and sides so that the child does not get hurt. This can be done with a beautiful bright fabric with foam rubber, which will be combined with the rest of the interior in color: with carpet or curtains, patterns on the wall, cushions to match.

There are unusual models, made in the form of a fantastic character or a house.

For example, for a boy, choosing a cot in the style of a tree house, a pirate ship or a fortress would be an excellent solution.

For the girl you can find wonderful models of castles and palaces, beds with carved railings and sides, where the girl will feel like a real princess!

There are also beds made in the style of any character: Spiderman or other superheroes, Disney princesses and other cartoons.

This can be done with the help of stickers, prints, hand-painted, you can also add beautiful details and elements made of wood, plastic, hand-made fabrics or purchased separately.

When a child grows up, then a different approach is needed in the selection of furniture design. It is important to take into account the overall style of the room and focus on unusual bright interior items.

The bunk bed still does not lose its attractiveness, because it perfectly saves the space that a teenager can use at his discretion. The more space, the more guests you can call and the more comfortable to stay.

With such a bed it is easier to keep order in the room, since the bed is located on the second floor, it will not be visible whether it is made up or not, and drawers and wardrobes will help to arrange personal belongings.

Restrained tones, conciseness and simplicity of style will do for a teenager's room

Furniture made from solid wood will look expensive, and bright detail (for example, a yellow chair or red pillows) will create a mood and add originality.

Bed modular complexes are also attractive because they are often transformers, where the cupboard turns into steps or shelves into seats. It is very comfortable and looks extraordinary, just what teenagers love.
