The Benefits of Kids Bunk Beds Bunk beds make it easier for siblings to share a space. They are also great for rooms with limited space. Set limits for the use of the top bunk and avoid hanging items that could create a strangulation risk. Also, do not allow horseplay close to or on the beds. This bunk bed comes with a slide that is detachable and can be a great way to keep kids entertained for sleepovers. Pick between white, brushed grey or clay to match your child's color palettes. Shared Space When designing a shared sibling room, it's important to consider how the space will change as your children develop. It's important to include features that let each child assert some personal space and ownership. This could be the personal bookcase or pinboard on each bunk. This allows kids to show off their interests while keeping things organized and accessible. A small area that is partitioned can also aid in maintaining visual and sound privacy in the room. Another way to give kids some personal space in the bunk bed is to add built-in shelving units. These are perfect for small bedrooms and offer ample storage space without taking up too much floor space in the room. The shelves are also perfect for displaying your child's art work, photos, and wall hangings. This will allow them to feel at ease in their space as they develop. You can also make the bunk beds of your children more fun by decorating them with a distinctive design or theme. If your children enjoy sailing, then this bunk set from House of Eilers allows them to “set sail” every night with a nautical theme. The nautical theme is both charming and versatile, so it will still look good when the kids have outgrown their pirate phase. If your children's tastes are more modern, consider an option of twin beds decorated in a sleek and minimalist style. This can create a simple, elegant look that can be used in both boys and girls' rooms. It's also a good idea to get the kids to dress their bunks with the patterns and colors they like most. This will give them a sense belonging to the space and help to separate their space from the other bunk. You can allow them to decorate their headboards by making a project that is fun or buy them shelf brackets so they can hang posters and drawings. The option of customizing their bunk can also be a major motivator in keeping it neat and tidy. Companionship Bunk and loft beds are a great addition to rooms for kids, whether you're setting up a shared bedroom for siblings or preparing the ultimate sleepover space. They are available in a variety of styles, designs and colors that will match any decor. Plus, they're an excellent way to reduce floor space in smaller homes and apartments, or increase the square footage of a small room. While standard twin-over-twin bunk beds will always remain a staple in the market, there's more choice than ever in terms of bed size and layout. Some bunk beds are equipped with a built-in desk, trundle or ladder. Some offer storage options to help keep your child’s room tidy. You'll also find that many of these beds come as part of an entire bedroom furniture set, which can make shopping for matching bedroom furniture easier. Depending on your kids' needs, you may want to choose a bunk that can be adapted to different sizes of mattresses or age groups. This bed from Max & Lily, for example, features two twin beds that can be split into free-standing bed frames when it's time to upgrade to a larger mattress. This is a great option for siblings who share a room throughout their childhood years and even into their adult and teenage years, if they choose to remain together. A few of these bunk beds for children have slides built-in to give your kids an additional level of excitement. This feature can make the bunks look like a pirate ship castles or any other fun role-playing adventure that your child can imagine. This slide is great for your child to play with their peers, siblings or with their favorite toy animal. The beds in this collection by Pottery Barn come in a variety of beautiful finishes. A white-colored finish will look great in the cottage, coastal, or colorful kids' room. Smoky gray or rich walnut color can add a touch of sophistication to a farmhouse or traditional style. A chic slatted style gives these beds a custom look, while a built-in staircase with open-air shelves gives you a place to store books and toys. Safety Whatever fun bunk beds for kids might appear, they require careful consideration and regular maintenance to ensure that children rest peacefully and without injury. For starters, you need to place them in a space which is secured. This will stop kids from running around during the assembly that could lead to injuries and falls. Once the bed is firmly put together, you must teach your kids how to use the ladder properly. It is important to instruct them to not jump or rough-house on the bunks and to use the top bunk to sleep. Only one child should sleep on the top bunk at a time, and it's a good idea to install a night light within the area of the ladder to ensure that kids can safely get down if they need to use the bathroom in the middle of the night or wake up from an episode of nightmare. It is essential that the mattress fits snugly into the frame, and does not hang over the edge. A mattress pad can help you achieve this. Make sure that the slats holding the upper and bottom mattresses are securely fixed at both ends and are tightly installed. If the slats have become loose, the mattress could fall through and into the lower bunk and cause injuries or accidents. Check the bunks on a regular basis for signs of wear or damage. Make sure that all nuts, bolts and other fasteners have a smooth surface with no sharp edges or sharp points. Make sure the ladder is free of sharp edges or snags. Keep clutter at an absolute minimum around the bunks. This is especially true close to the ladder access and the bunk above. If you own a wood ladder, place carpet beneath it to cushion the landing. This will decrease the risk of a child sustaining head injuries if they fall from the top bunk. It's a good idea to teach your children to be taught to safely climb and descend and then put the ladder away until bedtime. Growth Bunk beds let children grow into their space, allowing them to benefit from sharing from an early age. The ability to play together while reading books, or even share a snack without having to worry about their own private space lets children develop relationships with their siblings that last a lifetime. The bed's height can affect the way children learn, with bunks with a high top needing greater thinking skills and spatial awareness. Low bunks are an excellent choice for toddlers and preschoolers and full-size or mid-sized bunks are ideal for kids who are between the ages of 6 and 8. For a lot of families bunk beds are an economical solution to accommodate several children in one space. In addition to removing the necessity for additional furniture bunk beds often have built-in storage options that minimize muddle and maximize floor area. The act of climbing up to the top bunk encourages cooperation and compromise between siblings and encourages them to be aware of the shared space and encourages interpersonal skills at an early age. Children who share bunks are often expected to keep their bunks tidy and tidy, which promotes discipline and a sense responsibility. You might want to think about futon beds with stairs or a trundle that has stairs, depending on your child's requirements. The Maxtrix Stellar Bunk, for example, comes with a twin trundle that is able to be slid out to provide an extra bed when needed. Beyond the practicality of bunk beds, they also create a sense of adventure and discovery in children. The vertical association creates a sense of mystery and excitement in the bedroom. It transforms it into a space that is ideal for playing and learning. Bunk beds can be a great option for smaller bedrooms and families with multiple children and their functional design can be used to optimize space without compromising on the style. This kind of space-saving solution is popular with children and adults. Many bunk beds come with garages with integrated garages to reduce clutter and streamline the layout of the room.
