Choosing Furniture for your Kids Bedroom

Choosing Furniture for your Kids Bedroom

Creating a unique and comfortable space for your children is all part of their development; so it’s important to consider how to furnish their bedroom to make it their own space. We’ll be looking at things that should be considered and the different options available when choosing kids bedroom furniture.

THINGS TO CONSIDER

When we become adults, we tend to forget the importance of a bedroom and how, to a younger person; this is their own safe space. A place that they can call their own, which they cherish as somewhere that they have some independence, and where they can get lost in all of their imaginative adventures.

That said, as adults making the ultimate decisions, we must think about combining those elements whilst considering the practicalities too. Decorating and furnishing your child's bedroom can be lots of fun, but you must remember the functional things too; from space-saving to storage, there’s certainly a lot to keep in mind.

If you’re not sure where to start, we’ve given some inspiration below on things to consider when choosing furniture for your kids bedroom to help with what can be a huge decision.

CHOOSING PIECES

It’s probably fair to say that kids furniture can really be put to the test; it needs to be strong, sturdy and durable to withstand the energy that kids can give off. Quality and warranties can be a good indication of how well the furniture can withstand the knocks and bumps they may encounter. All Dako furniture comes with a 12 month warranty, and if you need some help with the assembly of your furniture, we will extend this to 24 months! High quality furniture means it is more likely to be passed down and reused in younger siblings' bedrooms; meaning better value for money.

First of all, and potentially most importantly, your child will need a comfortable place for dream building and a restful night's sleep. How well you sleep depends on the quality of the bed and mattress you’re sleeping on; so it’s important to get this right! From single beds, to bunk beds with storage; the perfect bed depends on the age of your child and how long you plan on using the same bed frame for, but we cater for all in our range of kids beds!

Considering other furniture, if a bedroom is too cramped then it can make it harder to facilitate some activities that are important for a child’s development, so it’s really important to choose wisely! It needs careful consideration, so that the furniture is not obstructing or limiting how a child wants to learn and play. 

Ultimately, the furniture you choose to put into your child’s bedroom will depend on a few factors, including their age, space available, size, material, style and budget. We recommend considering the main things you need from your new furniture; do you need more space for clothes, more storage for toys, an area for downtime or a desk? This will give you an indication of the larger items that are a must, and the other items that you could look to buy in future as your child grows.

There are also options that combine a few of the above factors, for example we have some fabulous bunk bed options, which also incorporate a desk, or two single beds for a shared bedroom.

TOP TIPS

- Choose furniture that will last! Whether that’s in terms of quality, or if your child can grow with the furniture you have chosen; with careful consideration you can get the best value for money!

- Safety first! Depending on the age of your children, do you need to consider choosing furniture that has rounded corners or does not have drawers to avoid any trapped fingers!

- If you’ve stuck for space, consider the non-negotiable furniture, then look for storage and space saving items for those that are a must!
