The Pluses of Bunk Beds for Your Kids

First off, kids’ bunks are a boon for the household that’s challenged on floor space. Look cool AND save square footage! One fun thing your kids can do with their bunk beds is take turns on the top bunk, swapping every week, for example. A well-chosen kids’ bunk also gives the siblings a bit more privacy than two separate beds give. Perennial favorite kids’ bunks are more versatile than you might imagine. They don’t even have to be the same size beds. Yes, we know, some big and little siblings are really so fond of each other that they love sharing a room. You can get a cool kids’ bunk with the twin bed on top and a full bed beneath. Also, while of course you want to keep an eye on things so play around your bunk beds is safe, all your kids need for a fun fort is to throw a sheet onto the bunk bed frame!

Why Not to Choose Bunk Beds

Of course, safety is always first. While every kids’ bunk that Jerusalem Furniture sells passes stringent requirement at the factory, pediatricians don’t recommend bunk beds for children under 5. A cool alternative is a trundle bed that rolls under the main bed when not in use.

Remember to always use the right size mattresses for the frames, and to have guardrails on the top bunk.

How to Select the Perfect Kids Bedroom Furniture

Is your child’s bedroom in need of a makeover? At Jerusalem Furniture, we are pleased to offer a variety of unique and playful products that both you and your child will love. However, before you start creating a plan for your child’s new bedroom, it’s important to keep a few key points in mind. Follow our three simple tips to help you create a kids bedroom that has everything your child needs as they transition from toddler to teen!

Establish a Theme for Your Child’s Bedroom

The key to creating the perfect kids bedroom is filling it with furniture and accents that reflect your child’s personality. The more their bedroom feels uniquely their own, the more they will appreciate it and want to spend time in it. Creating a theme for your child’s bedroom doesn’t necessarily need to be a huge, complicated affair. Just a few carefully selected furniture pieces and home accents can go a long way. Is your child an animal lover? Decorate their room with an animal-inspired table lamp and outfit their bed in animal-print kids bedding. Does your child dream of being a fairytale princess? Consider purchasing an elegant kids poster bed, along with a set of fancy throw pillows. Whatever it is that your child loves, you can find a way to subtly integrate it into their bedroom décor.

Purchase Kids Furniture that Will Stick with Them Through the Years

When setting a theme for your child’s bedroom, make sure not to take it too far. While a castle or car-shaped bed may be an absolute hit with a small child, it will start to seem uncool once your child approaches their preteen years. When selecting kids furniture, look for pieces that are kid-friendly, yet timeless. Avoid kids furniture pieces that are too much of a novelty and have the potential to be quickly outgrown. When looking toward the future, it is also important to consider the physical growth of your child. For instance, if your child is likely to experience a growth spurt in the coming years, then it may be worth purchasing a Full kids bed, as opposed to a Twin size.

Stock Up on Kids Storage Furniture

When furnishing your child’s bedroom, keep in mind that you can never have enough storage. Without a proper place to store your child’s clothing and toys, a small amount of clutter can quickly snowball into chaos. Purchase kids storage furniture that is organized and structured, like a kids' dresser or a chest of drawers. By utilizing storage furniture with individual drawers, your child will learn to store their things with care, instead of just haphazardly dumping their belongings in a bin or a closet.
