Bed for a girl

For moms and dads in a children's bed, the most important thing is quality and safety. For the children themselves - beauty and convenience. In order for your chosen bed for a girl to meet all these requirements, you need to take into account quite a lot of nuances.

The bed should match the age of the child and, of course, harmoniously fit into the interior. Up to two years (in each family in different ways), babies sleep in infant beds, which have a standard bed size of 120 by 60 cm. Such beds can be simple or transforming beds (you can take a crib and bedside table from such a bed and it will turn usual bed). A transforming bed can be easily purchased for those who do not like to change the furniture often and are confident that this piece of furniture will serve for a long time. From 2 years old you can use it as a standard single bed.

A large (170 by 80 cm) crib will also be useful for those who buy it for 6-7 years and older, at most - for 8-9 years. Further, most likely, it is necessary to watch teenage models. Standard bed for teens - 180 to 90 cm. A model of this size will be useful for 10 or 11 years, with a margin of 3-4 years. When purchasing a bed for a child older than 13, you should think about a full-size “adult” model - 200 by 90 cm. It will last until the end of school and longer.

Classic single or "half-bed" bed for a child is often equipped with drawers at the bottom. It is convenient for storing bedding or baby clothes. But it always looks quite massive. The bed on the legs without drawers from the bottom leaves more room and air in the room.For a girl, this option is also good because it stimulates to maintain order, so that there is nothing extra under the bed.

When two or more children grow up in a family, and there are not so many places, parents often purchase 2-level beds. They look stylish, like children and significantly save space. A modern 2-story bed does not necessarily resemble those in which you slept in a camp as a child. What options do not offer designers!

The simplest model is one bed above the other. For girls of school age, the “smart” system is perfect, where the lower bed during the day moves inward, and in its place there are 2 folding desks.Also beds can be displaced relative to each other or even stand at an angle of 90 °. The design of the stairs can also be different - the usual added, metal (according to the “Swedish wall” type), the staircase with wide steps, etc. In any case, for security reasons, such a children's double bed is recommended for daughters over 5 years old.

For little girls, the bed is chosen very carefully - after all, in the first months of life the baby will spend a lot of time in it. To ensure the safety of your baby’s first bed, check:

• Sustainability. The "correct" bed is flat and not loose. Pay attention to whether the floor is flat where you plan to put it.
• What material it is made of. It is preferable, of course, beds made of wood. It is not toxic, not allergenic.
• How well the details of the bed and its edges are processed - There should be no clues anywhere.
• How high are the bumpers. At some point, the baby will start to get up, so it is important that he could not fall out of bed. Most modern models have a descending bottom and a rising upper bar - after a year you can lower the bottom as much as possible and raise the bar. Then even an older baby will be safe.

For your own comfort and convenience of the child, pay attention to the following options:

• Rounded corners of the crib to help avoid injury.
• Pendulum mechanism. It is convenient for motion sickness, but ideally the pendulum should be blocked. In a non-blocking “pendulum”, a child who is actively moving in his sleep, shakes the bed. And if the baby is standing or jumping in it, it becomes dangerous at all.
• The wheels. The ability to roll the crib around the apartment in practice will be appreciated by any mother.
• Removable slats. They will help your daughter climb and get out of bed when she grows up.

Furniture with a soft headboard is very suitable for girls - they resemble beds of fairy-tale princesses. In addition to the aesthetic function, upholstery in the upper part protects against impacts, since in a dream, children sometimes take the most unbelievable poses. A bed with a soft back will serve the same purpose. Such a model resembles an elegant sofa and looks very cute in a girl's room.

When choosing a bed for two children, give preference to well-known companies whose quality can be trusted 100%. The most important thing in bunk beds:

• Strength. The surest way to test this is for an adult to climb to the top "floor." The bed should support the weight of an average adult.
• The height of the bumpers on the upper tier. Parents can sleep peacefully if the height of this bar is at least 30 cm.
• Stairs. The most dangerous is the steep ladder of metal pipes. A safer option is sloping with wide, steady and non-slip steps.

As already described above, for any furniture, especially children's, the best material is wood. Wooden beds are beautiful and durable, but the price is appropriate.

Metal cots are gaining popularity lately. Many large brands of children's products have at least one iron bed in their range. Some models have a metal frame, and outside are covered with fabric.

Another thing - forged bed. This is a true work of art that instantly transforms the interior and adds luxury to it. Wrought beds are great for girls' rooms, but in this case, the interior should be designed in a classic style.Weaves of metallic threads create a transparency effect, leaving a lot of light in the room. Such a model can please the girl from 4-5 years and older.

Parents of a little girl, of course, want her room to be bright and beautifully decorated. For newborn babies, they usually choose a white or pink crib. Also, it is for girls that mothers often hang canopies. It can be matched to the color of the soft sides. The main colors for girls' rooms are white, beige, delicate or hot pink, light green, yellow, and lilac.

If you decide to buy a classic bed, but you want it to be interesting, look at the design. Manufacturers offer cots with pictures. The furniture of your child can be decorated with Disney princesses, Peppa, WinX, Teddy Bear, Masha and Bear. Small family-owned furniture manufacturing enterprises are pleased with the design with the heroes of Soviet cartoons - Winnie the Pooh, the Hare and the Wolf from “Well, wait a minute!”, Etc.

For princesses who want to indulge infinitely, you can choose a completely unique bed. For example, in the form of a castle. This solution will require a lot of space, but it will look amazing. Designers offer several options:

• Castle with turrets at the edges, and the bed is between them.In this picture of the fortress wall continues on the walls of the room.
• Completely "deaf" castle outside with a bed on the upper tier. To bed you have to go up the stairs. The idea will appeal to any romantic-minded girl, because she implements fairy-tale scenes about princesses languishing in high towers.
• Cot lock with a slide on the side.

Bed coach. A luxury solution for those who still believe in fairy tales. The simplest version of the “carriage” is a bed-type machine with rounded shapes and stylized “wheels”.

"Royal quarters" for your daughter can be created by purchasing a four-poster bed.The latter can be of two types - on 4 supports at the corners of the bed, or concentrated in the center above the bed (as above the cradle). Looks very solemn canopy with lambrequin. For these purposes, it is better to choose thin translucent fabrics that will be easy to clean. So that the child does not breathe dust, the canopy will have to be washed frequently.

Very girlishly gentle, but without a pomp, the bed in the style of "Provence" will look. True, it will need to fit into the appropriate interior. It can be created by picking up a simple light wooden furniture. The style is well suited cribs on legs and with milling on the figured headboard. Textiles - in a small flower. In such an interior a floor lamp and a vase or a basket of flowers will not interfere.

Very original modern beds - "houses". They are made of simple smooth wood, without any finishing, but with good polishing. These houses are not only for sleeping, but also for games. You can decorate such a bed as you please - from a tourist tent to a wigwam. Cot-cottage is cozy and creates a special sense of security.But it should be borne in mind that her bed is right on the floor: there should be no drafts in the apartment.

In contrast, the Italian designers of the company Mathy by Bols made a bed-house with high legs: you need to climb it by a ladder.

A wall with a bed, plain or angular, is perfect for those who need to place a lot of things. In the wall there are cabinets for clothes, and many shelves, and open racks. The bed is usually located in the center, in a kind of niche. For small rooms, instead of a bed, they put in the center sliding sofas, which are laid out like chairs.

Corners with a bed and a table like schoolgirls. The bed can be located at the bottom, and can be designed as an "attic" - on the upper tier.To save space, designers offer models with a folding bed. At night, she is in a horizontal position, and in the daytime she leans up (like a regiment in a train), and in its place a desk is pushed. Racks with drawers and open shelves occupy the space around the bed. In this area you can design and storage system.

When choosing, apart from the wishes of the little hostess of the bed, the most important thing for parents is to understand for how long the purchase is made. Children's furniture has to be changed often enough. This means that the combination of appearance, quality and price should be optimal.
