Kinds

Single beds

Single beds are the most traditional option for bedroom furniture. They do not take up much space, often have side walls, low, and, most importantly, they can be adjusted in length and used up to 12 years or more. For the teenage room it is almost the only acceptable option. When buying a single bed for babies, you need to remember that they must be low and have side walls.

Duplex

If the room is small and two children sleep in it bunk beds are almost the only right decision in choosing a bed. As a rule, boys like these beds, but they, unfortunately, are potentially dangerous. On the upper tier, children can only sleep from 6-8 years old and only those who do not move much during sleep.

It is desirable that the stairs bunk beds was with wide steps, handrails, lights, and was tilted. Descent and ascent on such a ladder will be safer and more convenient. The bunk bed can be turned into a house a tent, space station, bus or pirate ship.

Two-level models are divided into three types:

  • With one bed, which is located both on the lower and on the upper floor. The first level can be developed for the workspace, the second - as a place for games. Suitable for a small room in which one child lives.
  • With two berths one above the other - this bed can be chosen for two children.
  • Triple bed, two beds from which are located on the lower floor - this option is ideal for three children.

Beds with two floors have their disadvantages, the main of which is height. A child sleeping in the upper tier may feel uncomfortable. In addition, the ceiling gives poor air circulation, which also contributes to the development of restless sleep.

Retractable bunk bed

This is a safer alternative to a regular double bed. At night, two children (or one of the parents, if necessary) can sleep in two beds, and during the day the first level can be removed so that the bed becomes single. In this case, both levels can be used separately from each other. Today, such models are in demand, because domestic manufacturers offer many of their configurations: with sliding tables, drawers, stairs, various decorations, with a soft headboard.

Couches

Couches are suitable for adult children. Such beds are compact, have storage space, easily turn into a sofa or chair. And when the child grows up, such a sofa can become a guest.

Sofas and chair beds

Children's sofas and chair beds often have bright baby upholstery, they are compact, assembled save space. However, they are harder to clean, not always easy to lay out and assemble. The colorful and children's design of children's sofas and chairs is suitable only for a temporary berth, because very soon the child can “outgrow” him.

As for teenagers, for them sofas and armchairs are quite an acceptable option.In the end, they can disassemble and assemble the bed themselves, and in the afternoon with such furniture they can receive friends, relax, play and read books comfortably.

Materials and sizes

The basis for the majority of cots for boys are durable and environmentally friendly materials: metal, natural wood and wooden plates with different types of coatings and finishes: veneered, enameled or laminated.

Plastic and materials of the main construction, with frescoes or photo printing, are used as decoration.

It is believed that the bed made of wood - the most reliable option. However, the purchase of such furniture can seriously affect the family budget - such furniture is considered the most expensive on the market.

It is better to choose a design from MDF: many buyers note the high strength of the material at an affordable price.

Bed size should be selected based on the child’s age and height. Large furniture will seem uncomfortable for a little boy.

Most often choose the following bed sizes for a boy:

  • 80 × 160 cm or 80 × 180 cm (designed for children from 5 up to 10 years);
  • 190 × 90 or 80 × 210 (suitable for teenagers 10 - 16 years).

Color solutions

The best colors for boys are the following colors:

  • Gray;
  • blue;
  • brown;
  • beige;
  • yellow;
  • white;
  • turquoise;
  • green;
  • Orange.

With the help of contrasting combinations of the main background, accessories and textiles, you can create bright color spots that will enliven the interior of the room, make it brighter and more original.

Unusual models

Choosing a bed, most often the child stops on non-standard designs that attract attention with their brightness and originality. These include models whose appearance looks like a car, train or plane. This may be a cottage, a truck, furniture in the marine style.

Unusual designs have a number of distinctive features:

  1. Original design;
  2. An abundance of parts (windows, wheels, steering wheel);
  3. Interesting elements that imitate real transport (luminous lights, vibration, engine sound);
  4. Availability of storage boxes.

Beds in the form of cars have a wide range of prices. The cost depends on the complexity of the design: simple ones will cost much less, views with backlighting will be more expensive.

The interior of the nursery should be harmonious. When buying a custom bed, you need to think in advance about other furniture and accessories that will complement the overall picture. Otherwise, an unusual design may look funny.

Small original beds are less functional, most often they have a simple design. Larger models have extra storage space and various design elements (such as headlights, car sounds).

You should not buy such a bed if the area of ​​the nursery is very small. The design is quite large, so it requires free space.

How to choose?

It is best if the child participates in the process of choosing a new furniture. She should like the boy: this way you can smooth out the feelings that children usually experience when they change their place.

General recommendations:

  1. It should attract a child to choose a new furniture, mattress and bedding. Thus, the transition from bed to bed will be easier and more interesting.
  2. It is better not to combine moving a child to a new bed with events such as the first day in kindergarten or the birth of a brother / sister. It is better to do this in advance, for example, several months before the event.
  3. If the child is restlessly sleeping, then it is better to buy a low bed.
  4. Furniture made of particleboard, MDF, fiberboard should be made of high quality material with formaldehyde E1 emission class.

When choosing a two-story bed for sons, it is better to think about the design of the room. Not all models fit into the interior.Even if you really liked the furniture, in the room it may look a little different, the elements of decor should be combined with each other. Of great importance is the material from which made the bed, color and design of the product. Twin beds vary in size: there are high and low, wide and narrow.

No less important is the functionality of the bed. You need to decide whether the bed will be used only as a bed or if it is still a play area (for this, it is best to buy a loft bed).

A huge variety of design models allows you to choose exactly the design that fits the child, but there are several mandatory requirements:

  • the bed should not be narrow so that the child does not fall during sleep;
  • it must have a back; semicircular and rectangular variants are considered most favorable.

Many parents pay special attention to the quality and design of the bed, but, unfortunately, not everyone remembers that its location is equally important.

How to place?

Perhaps the most difficult is the question of how to put the bed in the nursery, and in fact the organization of the bed affects the health and vigor of the child.

A bed for a child is the most important furniture that represents a whole world of dreams and fantasies. This should be not only a comfortable and safe place, it should fill their lives with joy and bright colors. What surrounds a child in the first 2-3 years of life has a huge impact on his growth and perception of the world.

A bed for a child is not only a guarantee of healthy sleep, but also an important condition for the formation of creative skills and knowledge of the surrounding world. Therefore it is necessary with great responsibility to approach the choice of this furniture and the place where it is best to place it.

Arrangement of furniture greatly affects the process of falling asleep, calm sleep and well-being. A crib should be placed so that the child can see everyone who enters his room. But do not put it in front of the door, as this will lead to an imbalance of energy, which affects the bad and gloomy mood in the morning. Top positions: side wall and room diagonal.

If there is no choice but to put the bed right in front of the door, remember that it should be with a sufficiently high back.

Of great importance is the position of the head of the child during sleep. If he puts his head in the right direction, he will be healthy, but insomnia, illness and nightmares do not indicate the correct position.

The ideal option is to sleep with your head to the north, because in this position the child lies right along the lines of the magnetic field, which guarantees calm and good health.

The East also has a beneficial effect on the child, ensuring good growth and development.

If the child sleeps to the west, it makes him more active and emotional. This position is well suited for gifted children with great creativity.

It’s bad if the baby’s head is facing south during sleep. This can cause bad restless sleep and frequent illnesses. In such a situation, you can attach a small mirror on the outside of the bed - this slightly mitigates the adverse effects.

Small children are very sensitive to negative zones, so they may inadvertently take the correct position during sleep. It is extremely common for mothers to find that in a dream the child is going through the bed or turning upside down. It is necessary to follow his movements and move the bed in the appropriate direction.

If the child does not sleep well, wakes up often or cries in a dream, you need to turn the bed to the other side, perhaps this is the solution to the problem.

For a quiet sleep, the boy must not only place the bed in the right direction, but also fill the space next to her on the right. There should be no mirrors in the sleep area, as they often cause nightmares and insomnia. The mirror should be positioned so that the bed is not reflected in it.This also applies to TV.

There should be no sharp corners in bed as they radiate negative energy. In the future, they may be the source of many diseases.

The space under the child’s bed should always be free, as it creates harmful stagnant energy.

Nothing should be placed above the bed, because it contributes to poor sleep and nervous breakdowns. There are many stylish furniture options that are located above the drawers and shelves of the bed, but this can turn into a phobia and cause the child to be overwhelmed with fear.

Options in the interior

Age is the most important criterion in choosing the design of a child's room. It is obvious that the bedroom of a 4-year-old child will differ significantly from the bedroom of a 14-year-old.

1-3 years

At this age it is important that the interior of the nursery consists of the following details:

  • bright shades;
  • bright accents;
  • mandatory "field" for games;
  • feeling of comfort;
  • protected furniture.

These moments should be observed and applied when creating a room for a child. Particular attention should be paid to the safety of the furniture.

3-5 years

At this age, the child begins to show personality. The boy is active, inquisitive. If the floor area allows - you can install any gymnastic devices (ropes, rings). At this age, children love to express themselves creatively. Conditions should be created for practical drawing, modeling. When creating a room, the main thing is not to forget that at this age the boy spends most of the time in game mode.

7-8 years

This age can be called transitional. The child is still ready to spend all his free time on games and other activities that he loves, but at the same time he already has certain responsibilities. This includes homework received at school. Therefore, zoning should be an important point in the design of a room for a 7-8 year old boy. Ideally, the game area in the room should be clearly divided.

10-12 years

At this age, almost every boy has his favorite character (a character from a movie, an athlete, a cartoon character). You can use it in the design of the room for the child. The main thing is not to go too far, otherwise in such a room the child will quickly get tired of the once beloved character. It is possible to leave one wall of the room for a thematic drawing (it can be printed on special wallpaper) and add 2-3 items to the interior, for example, a bed in the style of your favorite character.

Teenager

The older the child, the more he develops as a person. At this age, clear views on life, certain interests have already formed, a circle of friends has been chosen. You can equip some room space with a sports field (many boys in their teens begin to show interest in sports) or create a room for a certain boy’s hobby (drawing, modeling, music).

Adolescence - a time of rapid growth and the formation of the body. Ergonomic table, properly selected chair, a bed with a good mattress - when choosing furniture, you should pay attention to this.
