Teenage beds

Teenage beds are almost as difficult to choose as cots for infants. If in the case of kids, the choice depends entirely on the parents, then the teenagers already have their own preferences. Children at this age use a bed and as a bed, and as a working and play zone. Therefore, furniture for a teenager should not only be beautiful and comfortable, but also functional, and suitable for his character.

The whims of "little adults" are difficult to satisfy, but the range on the furniture market is so diverse that there is a suitable option even for the most demanding. Teenage beds differ in different parameters: the number of beds and tiers, the presence or absence of built-in elements, modular, collapsible or solid designs, sizes, models for boys and girls, design and design.

Single or one-and-a-half bed - the optimal solution for a room that belongs to one child. If the room space allows you to save space, it can become an independent element. Such a bed is guaranteed to ensure a teenager a good night’s sleep and will become a relaxation area during the daytime.

However, the classics are not at all identical with severity, mediocrity or boredom. The single bed can be added with lockers, shelves, decorative elements, folding and withdrawable mechanisms that turn it into a multifunctional piece of furniture. It can also be done in an interesting design or original styling, for example, under a space rocket or princess bedchamber.

There are solid models and prefabricated, which, if desired, can be divided into two single-tier beds.

Such beds are very popular among teenagers due to an interesting construction, which allows using it not only for sleeping, but also for games, as a place where you can retire and feel isolated in a personal space.

Parents prefer this option, when it is necessary to correctly draw up a small footage of the children's room. Their various sizes and configurations help to create a cosiness, to introduce originality and specificity in any situation.

Double beds can also consist of tiers, which are perpendicular to each other or are on the same level and decorated, for example, in the form of an open book.

Particularly impressionable parents in determining the "three-tier bed" are beginning to imagine the second-class car shelves, if not scaffolds of exorbitant height, in fact, everything is much easier.

The third bed is literally at the level of the plinth and is equipped with a roll-out mechanism that allows you to hide it in the daytime under the bottom of the first tier.This is a great option for those who want to save space in the nursery, and do not bother with inflatable mattresses and folding beds every night to accommodate a third child for the night.

As a bonus, the bedroom suite is equipped with functional elements. This addition can be a table, shelves, cases or lockers for clothes and bedding, sports equipment and simply beautiful decor.

Retractable models are very compact, they can combine up to three beds, where the lowest tier extends from under the top through the work of a special mechanism.

Sliding models - a practical version of the single bed "for growth". It differs from the classic version in that the sleeping place moves apart from 100-120 cm to 180-190 cm. A mattress with additional soft elements that “complete” it to the required length when the bottom moves apart is attached to this bed.

Folding models - saving meters. Sleeping places are parallel to each other, and when they are not used, they can be folded into a vertical panel with the help of moving mechanisms and folding parts.

The design of the mechanism is thought out in such a way that even a child can bring it into action, and injury is completely excluded.

• Folding beds - this is a two-in-one design: a foldable bed plus a working area. A bed in one motion is built into the space reserved for him against the wall, and the empty space is occupied by a writing desk. It is also possible that the bottom of the bed during the day serves as a wardrobe.

• Modular bed - a universal set of furniture, consisting of mobile independent elements. By moving the modules, you can optimize the space and create any desired room environment. Set for the nursery may include one or more beds, an attic bed, a work area, a rest area, a table, lockers and bedside tables, shelves and racks. Such furniture works perfectly as a functional element in any area for children of any age.

• With lifting mechanism - a characteristic feature is the presence of a special mechanism that allows access to the space inside the bed frame for storing bedding or things. The principle of operation is that the bed rises upwards, like a cabinet door, making internal drawers and compartments accessible.

• Bed dresser - is a bed located above the storage space. The height of the dresser varies from 40 to 80 cm. It is a convenient way to competently organize under-bed space, equipping it with drawers and compartments that are comfortable for clothes, bed linen, pillows and blankets.

• Bed-wardrobe - compact in appearance and functional design, which with a flick of the wrist turns into a comfortable bed, it is enough to activate the folding mechanism. The bed can be located horizontally or vertically, but in any case it will be part of a large and spacious wardrobe for storing clothes, objects, bed linen.

• Chair bed - perhaps the most compact representative of functional furniture, saving space in the nursery. It is a wide easy-chair, which in one or two movements straightens in a horizontal position and becomes a full-fledged sleeping place for a child. The advantage of such furniture is that when folded it takes no more than one square meter, it can be used as a chair.

• Bed-couch - combines the functions of the bed and couchbut differs from the latter in that it does not have armrests. This is convenient, since it is possible to place such furniture in the living room, in the bedroom and it will organically look in any interior solution.

• Bed couch - plays the role of the sofa during the day and the bed - at night. Many models are equipped with drawers, and can also serve as single beds and straighten in width, becoming double.

• A more concise option - frame furniture. Such a bed will not look cumbersome, almost airy, does not take up much space, and when choosing a good mattress will ensure a healthy and high-quality sleep for your child.

• Sofa bed - practical, elegant and comfortable furniture with a box under the bed and orthopedic base. Smooth lines and bright colors of this model are more suitable for a girl's room.

• With decorative elements: soft backs, upholstered with textiles with a beautiful pattern, tapestry, velvet or other material, wooden frame forging fragments, figured headboards, textile inserts and fragments, curtains and canopies.

• Canopy bed - a separate topic. This is a real luxury and a dream for every princess, romantic teenage girl or rebel who loves solitude. The material for creating such beauty in the room does not have to be velvet, as in the pictures in fairy tale books. A variety of colors and textures are possible: airy draperies, organza, lace, ribbons, ruffles, bows, natural fabrics without unnecessary décor, plain or patterned.

The choice of a bed and any other furniture for a teenager's room is first of all worth discussing with the child himself. It is necessary to give him the opportunity to take the initiative, to express his preferences, to choose something that suits him in character and meets his personal requirements. Too original idea can be carefully adjusted, offer something alternative or try to reconcile the child's fantasies with their own vision of the interior in the children's and financial capabilities, but you should always consult.

When a compromise solution is found, you should pay attention to the following criteria.

The choice of furniture design depends on the initial parameters of the room - its size and free space in the total area of ​​the room. If the footage allows, you can give preference to a single-tier classic bed or a bed-dresser, if you want to optimize the space, you should look at bunk beds, beds, attics, modular options.

The choice of model is directly related to what functions the new furniture will perform. Modern design and bed configurations have long ago abandoned the idea that the bed is designed only for sleeping. Even the most concise version is now equipped with additional elements that expand its scope.

The bed can combine almost all the necessary furniture in the room, starting with a chest of drawers or storage compartments, ending with a whole closet, an apprentice’s workplace, a playroom or a sports field, a recreation area or creativity.

A good bed should be safe and stable, even if we are talking about a single-tier bed. In the case of two-story models, special attention should be paid to the quality of the assembly and the overall height of the bed. It is also important to assess the height of the side walls on the second tier (they should not be less than 30 cm), the slope of the stairs and the width of the steps, the absence of sharp corners and protruding decor.The advantage of such models will be the presence of handrails at the stairs, non-slip wide steps, the presence of soft edges on the sides, preventing bruises and injuries.

It is not only about the right choice of high beds, but also about the fact that it is important to pay attention to the quality of the product: smooth surfaces without splinters, the state of fittings, protruding parts. We should also take into account the material from which the furniture is made.

All adolescents are different and grow in completely different ways. So that it did not happen that yesterday the child was placed on a bed 120 cm long, and today he already needs to buy a bigger bed, it is better to choose a model from 180 cm in length. Sliding beds are also convenient for growing children, which can be gradually increased in length from 120 up to 190 cm

The width of the child can choose their own. Standard parameters of single models - up to 160 cm.

Not always the layout and overall decor of the room require a rectangular shape. If the child wanted to show imagination or make an unusual element in his personal space, you can buy a bed oval or round shape. It will look original and interesting, but an unusual form does not hurt to equip such furniture with additional cabinets and storage compartments.

Especially these options like girls.

Down with the boredom in the children's room! The child should be given the opportunity to organize the space around him the way he wants it, and modern designers make every effort so that adolescents have the widest choice.

Based on the child's imagination, you can turn ordinary furniture into a work of art.

Boys like a bed in the form of a rocket, a bed-bus, a castle, a ship, a design in the style of your favorite computer game, war or fantasy. You can arrange themed room, if the child is engaged in some kind of sport.

For girls more suitable romantic entourage, beds with muslin curtains, beautiful canopies, soft and smooth lines, delicate tones. Younger girls can choose for themselves images of princesses from their favorite cartoons, teenage girls are more likely to be focused on the rebellious images of Avril Lavigne or the romantic classics in the style of Audrey Hepburn.

It is somewhat more difficult to choose a design for a joint room of a brother and sister, but a compromise is possible. An experienced designer will be able to combine the wishes of both teenagers in one project so that everyone has their own personal space on the common territory.

Original models allow the child to express their interests and transform the room.

If a teenager boy dreams of becoming a racing driver, but it’s still too early for the right to learn, he can choose an original car bed that simulates a racing model.

Popular beds in the form of cartoon characters, ship beds, round beds in the form of a nest or a huge hamburger. The hammock beds, imitation of giant knitting or growing trees, as well as laconic modern models look so much like the interior details from films about the future, where solid chrome, plastic and minimalism look interesting.

One of the most important characteristics when choosing furniture in the nursery. The most common type is from solid wood.

Most of the models on the furniture market are made from this particular brand. Slightly less common products made of oak and beech. This material fully complies with quality standards and is environmentally safe, durable, and durable.Children's beds made of pine ergonomic, simple in design, suitable for rooms of boys and girls. Depending on the floor of the child, you can choose the case of the bed, covered with colored enamel or varnish.

Birch is an economical and durable material that is popular with furniture manufacturers. The birch bed is especially good for a nursery, since its wood is absolutely odorless, is an environmentally friendly material, and disinfects indoor air.

Sleeping on such a bed will be strong and healthy.

The metal frame is reliable, durable, can withstand not only children's weight, but also the weight of an adult. Iron beds are made of hollow tubes, therefore, having almost the same characteristics as wooden, they weigh much less. Finished products are powder coated, which protects the iron from rust and can be painted in any color.

The furniture market offers a wide range of colors. A bed can take on the role of a bright color spot in the interior, if you choose a model of a rich color or a combination of several rich colors, or it can be a neutral color.

• Guys prefer dark, rich colors of noble shades: deep blue, green, palette brown, or natural wood, varnished.
• Girls lighter and delicate tones will do: lilac, crimson, powdery, shades of peach, fresh greens, gold and silver colors in the design.
• For rooms of heterosexual children universal will be models of neutral colors: varnished wood, white, chocolate.

A bed can set the tone for the whole room if a major overhaul is planned or the room is only being mastered by a teenager. Then the choice of furniture and style can begin with it. It is a bit more difficult to fit new furniture into the already existing interior, but it is also possible, especially, furniture factories offer a huge number of options. And the most capricious help designers who recreate the original idea and give it into the hands of professional craftsmen to translate into reality.

Before going to the store or to the designer, it is worth spending a little time and with the children to see ready-made options in catalogs, online stores or on websites. Some ideas can be taken as a basis.

• A cozy tent for a young tourist.

• Loft with sea motifs for the boys room.

• Hundred feathers for a princess and a pea.

• Beautiful design of a small room of a teenage girl.

• Car of the future mechanic or racer.

• Continuation of the theme of transport in the version for girls.

• Sleeping places for two and more children.
