By purchasing a bed made of solid wood, the consumer buys a high-quality and durable piece of furniture into the house. The most durable products will be made of oak or beech. The elite class furniture is mainly made of wenge or teak. Also in furniture production such tree species as pine, birch, alder, cherry, walnut and others are widely used. Inexpensive breeds are artificially refined by tinting or veneering.
Metallic
Most often steel or aluminum is used in production.Steel beds are very heavy, so it is completely inappropriate to purchase such products for the girl's room. Aluminum is a light metal, but at the same time it is prone to deformation. As an alternative, it is better to give preference to the combination of steel / aluminum with solid wood. The frame of this bed is made of wood, and the metal is used for decorative design of the headboard and sides.
Wood board
Wood-based panels are widely used in furniture manufacturing. The cheapness of the material is the key factor that influences the high demand for this type of furniture. There are three types of pressed plates (particle board, fiberboard and MDF), which are based on wood flour, chips or fiber. Inside such a material is hollow, so the furniture is lightweight. The high popularity of pressed wood furnishings is due to the low cost, wide variety of model range and design.
It is believed that wood-based panels are unsafe for health, as they emit formaldehydes. However, innovative technologies and techniques provide the ability to process wood so carefully as to protect a person from the negative effects of any fumes.
Color solutions
Modern production allows you to make furniture in various colors. For furniture made of metal, the most common is steel shade. However, the metal is easy to paint, so today you will not surprise anyone with a bed, for example, a bright orange or deep purple color.

In addition to the various shades of pink, white, beige, lilac, light yellow, light green, turquoise, coffee and other tones are suitable for a teenage girl's room.Adolescent children are so unpredictable that you should not be surprised if, when choosing a bed in their room, the child would prefer black.

But when children grow up and reach adolescence,here it is necessary to consult with them.

If adults emphasize quality, practicality and functionality, then children are repelled by their emotions and sensations. Therefore, the best option for buying furniture in the room of a teenage child is a joint trip to the store.

Beautiful solutions in interior design
Stylists, interior designers of the premises distinguish between the concepts of "children's room" and "room of a teenage girl." Small children love everything fabulous and magical. Therefore, their rooms can be decorated in the form of illustrations of some famous fairy tales or cartoons.
