How to Size Up A Child Bed
Why do furniture makers design a child bed so huge? It’s not your child’s size that creates a problem in this area. Rather, it’s the size of your child’s bedroom. Sure, you may wish you needed a large kid bed for filling a 30 X 30 room, but you don’t. Just because your child has a small room doesn’t meant that he or she shouldn’t have nice furnishings for it. In looking for a child bed, you have asked about buying an individual piece from certain groups. When you do find a retailer who’s willing to break a suite the result is that you pay a higher price for the individual pieces. In some cases, you would pay nearly as much for some of the pieces as you would pay for the entire bedroom suite. Where you come from, paying more for less in a child bed doesn’t make sense...dollars and cents that is in this situation. It doesn’t take an accountant to figure out that these retailers aren’t doing you any favors. Consider this affordable idea as a favor. It’s a genuine favor in affordability in child bed buying solutions for small rooms. While it won’t put money into your pocket, it will at least leave some money in your pocket. Stop looking for a child bed from within bedroom suites. You’ve already discovered that most of them are too large to fit in your child’s room. In addition, you already know that buying only one or two pieces from a bedroom suite is too expensive. Instead, focus on a stand-alone child bed for your child’s room. Other stand-alone pieces could be a desk, dresser, chest-of-drawers, nightstand or a chair that doesn’t belong in any particular furniture grouping. You can sometimes find a suitable stand-alone child bed that was part of a bedroom suite. It is for sale by itself probably because some other poor soul overpaid for only a few pieces of a group. Unless the retailer is going to actually give you that piece of furniture, leave it in the store. If you don’t, each time you see it in your child’s room, you will be reminded of the idea of a complete bedroom suite. The focus of your child bed purchase should be centered on finding one that is exactly right for your child’s room. Your best option is to choose a plain, no-frills type of bed. Choose one without a headboard and/or a footboard. Once you’ve chosen your stand-alone piece of child bed, it is going to be the single piece of furniture upon which you build your decorating theme. These creative ideas will fill your child’s small bedroom with style. Since the child bed has no headboard or footboard, you’ll have only a frame with a mattress and box springs. This saves space but doesn’t look very finished. To finish the bed with flair...
Your stand-alone child bed now has a headboard. To complete the bed, consider placing one of these items at the foot of the bed.
Either of these child bed footboards is also storage. For hidden storage, use a small round table instead of a nightstand. Cover it with a tablecloth and place plastic storage boxes with lids underneath it.
