Children - this is exactly the room in the house, where every free square meter is valued, because children need an open and uncluttered space for games.
In conditions of small-sized housing, you can often find children's rooms with a bunk bed. This variant of the interior solution is hard to surprise, because beds of this type have long and well proven themselves not only in the nursery, but also in the military units, and in the fleet, and in trains, and in student hostels. However, when choosing the design of a room using a bunk bed, many parents are asked both questions of security and the choice of such a two-story bed. And these questions "House of Dreams" has already found the answers.
Options for bunk beds
If you consider the question of what are bunk beds, you can divide all the models for a child into four conditional groups, which will be written just below. The main task of parents is to determine which modification of the two-level sleeping place will suit their babies.
One-child bed for a child
This group includes all the options when parents choose bunk beds for a small room with one child. This category of beds can also be divided into subgroups:
- The first floor is given for the workplace.
The main task in this case is to raise the sleeping area by using a bunk bed to combine it with the table by placing the working area on the first level. Sometimes these bunk beds are equipped with built-in drawers, which are ideal for storing your child's personal belongings.
- Bottom tier - storage systems.
Sometimes the "first floor" is used to locate chests of drawers, boxes with toys that can hide in the steps of the stairs, you can often find bunk beds with a closet and drawers. This model almost completely solves the problem of furniture for children, allowing you to give the rest of the room space under the playing area.
- Bunk bed with a sports complex or play area.
This option allows you to solve the issue of the physical preparation of the child, without occupying the Swedish wall, slide and other accessories free space.
Bunk bed for two children
This bunk bed allows you to compactly place two berths, significantly saving space. Most often the "second floor" is occupied by the oldest child, leaving the child more comfortable and safe "first floor".This classic type of two-level beds can also be classified for ease of choice:
- A bunk bed with parallel bunks placed one under the other.
The most economical solution in terms of increasing the square meters. Most often these beds have a vertical staircase.
- Sleeping places are located in parallel, but are displaced relative to each other to the right or to the left.
The vacant seat is occupied by a comfortable and steep staircase upstairs or a compact storage system for children's things.
- Sleep places are perpendicular to each other.
Allows you to place and sleeping places, and a workplace, and even cabinets and boxes. This is a real children's complex, compact and comfortable.
Bunk beds designed for both children and adults
These loft beds are designed to accommodate both parents and children compactly. Most often there are bunk beds with a sofa bed below, when the upper berth is given to the child.
However, there is a reverse model, which can be found even in the Ikea catalog. This option suggests placing on top of the parents on a double bed, and a safe place at the bottom left for a crib, which is relevant for those cases when the apartment is very small, and the baby is just not up to the second tier.
Transformers beds
The right decision will be attributed to bunk beds and transformer beds:
- This can be the exit beds, when the bottom berth rolls out from under the top. This option makes it convenient to sleep two babies who have not reached the age of six, necessary for the second floor.
- Modern furniture-transformer, which if desired, understands a high bunk bed with two beds, and if desired - compactly fits in the most ordinary sofa. Particularly good is the "Doc" model from Resource Furniture. This is a relatively new version of a bunk bed for teens, when one bed is simply placed on the other, forming a comfortable sofa in the daytime.
Choosing a bunk bed
Choose a model that is suitable for size, appearance and modification - just a matter of taste and quantity of free space. The main requirement for such a bunk bed in the children's room is its safety, and all the selection criteria revolve around this quality. There are several general recommendations that will help you understand how to choose a bunk bed in a nursery for your kids:
- Strength. Rate this quality - easy. It is enough for you, an adult person, to try this bed on yourself, climb up to the second floor and spin a little. If the bed has withstood you - the test is passed.
- Stability. Pay attention to the legs of the bed, the anchorages, and the overall solidity of the structure.
- Height of the stops. The sides of the bed should not be less than 20 centimeters, but it is better if they are much higher - centimeters 30-35.
- Distance between tiers. Consider not only the height between the bed levels themselves, but also the distance from the upper tier to the ceiling. Both values should be comfortable.
- Stairs. Should be comfortable, well-secured and have a secure handrail. Pay attention: it is impossible that the covering of steps was slippery. Ideally, the staircase should be flat, since the vertical versions are the most traumatic.
- The age of the kids. The upper tier is intended only for children who have reached the age of six. Children under the age of four should not be allowed even to the stairs.
If you approach the issue in detail, then you can arrange for your children a unique two-story children's complex, reliable and safe. Variations in the design of bunk beds - a huge number, there are beds in the form of buses, castles, village houses, pirate ships and cars.
A bunk bed is a magical world for your child that you can arrange right in your kid's nursery.
