If you\u2019ve been thinking about new bedroom furniture for your child, you\u2019ve probably suffered from a little bit of decision paralysis. It\u2019s a big deal – you\u2019re trying to balance safety and durability with something that will make them happy. And you also want the bedroom furniture to grow along with them, gracefully.<\/p>\n

Let your child help make some of the decisions<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s great to consult your kids on what kind of bedroom furniture they like- but be prepared. My nephew, when recently asked about his preferences for a new bed, announced that he would be happy with a tent. His parents, hoping for something a bit more substantial, kept asking questions. Upon further consideration, he announced he wanted a treehouse in his room. Pressed further about what he wanted to sleep on, he furrowed his small brow, and finally blurted out: \u201cA LOG!\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

In other words, it\u2019s better to come up <\/span>with some ideas for them to choose from<\/span><\/a>. Let them pick out the color, or between a couple of different styles of dressers. They\u2019ll still feel proud and excited about their new furniture, and you\u2019ll be relieved that you\u2019re not dealing with the wood chips from the hollowed out log.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Bedroom<\/a><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t skimp on quality<\/h2>\n

A successful childhood means that there\u2019s some fun going on in their room. No matter how well-behaved your children are, they\u2019re going to play, drop things, and just be kids. Their furniture should be able to take it. Pay attention to the construction. <\/span>Good solid furniture shouldn\u2019t wobble<\/span><\/a>, tip, or chip easily. Proportions should work for your child – lower and wider is better than tall and narrow. Check that dresser drawers open easily from their height. Make sure that the paint is non-toxic, that the edges of the bedroom furniture aren\u2019t sharp, and that the appropriate safety features are in place, such as tipping restraints and drawer stops. <\/span><\/p>\n

Although a novelty bed may seem fun now, it\u2019s a better investment to go with something that\u2019s made with solid wood and that will grow with your children. It will handle all the playtime hours and roughhousing they can dish out, and update easily when they\u2019re ready for their next set of interests. <\/span><\/p>\n

Be careful of older furniture. While it can be very well made, keep in mind that it didn\u2019t use today\u2019s safety measures. One advantage of new pieces of furniture is that those safeguards are already part of the design, and they won\u2019t need retrofitting. <\/span><\/p>\n

Be realistic about the floor space<\/h2>\n

When you\u2019re upgrading your kid\u2019s <\/span>bedroom to a larger bed<\/span><\/a>, you may run into some surprises about how much floor space it will take up. It\u2019s not uncommon to go from a toddler bed to a full-sized bed. If their room doubles as a play space, you don\u2019t want to sacrifice all that valuable floor real estate. <\/span>If this is the case, consider a loft bed. Some models even elevate their bed safely while tucking a desk underneath. Kids love the idea of loft beds and the quirky spaces they provide, and they\u2019ll still keep a lot of open room available for playing. <\/span><\/p>\n

Another way to save space is with beds that incorporate extra storage beneath, or that have bookcase headboards. No matter your preferences, get the measurements of your child\u2019s bedroom before you start your shopping. This will help you make better-informed decisions.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

\"kids<\/a><\/h2>\n

Think ahead before buying bedroom furniture<\/h2>\n

When you\u2019re investing in children\u2019s bedroom furniture, you want it to grow along with them. Classic wood furniture can help make those decor updates easier. Look for something that can accept new color schemes without a problem. If you steer away from bright colors, you won\u2019t get caught in the trap of color trends. So when your daughter switches from My Little Ponies to riding lessons, it won\u2019t clash with either pastels or all the natural colors of real horses. <\/span><\/p>\n

Also, consider the possibility of sleepovers with friends. If you have a budding social butterfly in your house, be ready for friends visiting with bunk beds or trundle style beds. New styles of bunk beds age gracefully. They can even be purchased to fit full-sized mattresses both up and down. Even later, when your kids head off to college, you\u2019ll appreciate the extra sleeping spots available on the holidays. <\/span><\/p>\n

Picking out bedroom furniture that your child will love can be easier than you thought. Do a little homework, take out the measuring tape, and keep safety in mind. Once you\u2019ve narrowed down your choices, let your child decide on their favorites, and certainly consult them on what they want their room\u2019s theme to be. They\u2019ll end up with a space that they feel proud of, and you\u2019ll be glad you made good choices that will last them for years to come. <\/span><\/p>\n
