Choosing a bed for a child is a responsible occupation. It is very important to take into account all the parameters before the purchase so that the bed is as comfortable and functional as possible.
Criterias of choice
When buying a bed in a room for a boy should consider a list of requirements.
Functionality
It is very important that the bed for the boy be supplemented with storage devices. For 10-12 years, large storage cabinets will be useful, while for 4 years you will need storage boxes for folding toys. Storage of things in the children's room can be arranged in different ways: standard cabinets, dressers and floor cabinets with drawers.

A place to sleep, regardless of the design of the bed, should be as safe as possible. For 2 years, it is worth choosing beds from qualitative natural wood with the rounded corners, or equipped with special plastic or soft textile nozzles.
When buying a bunk bed for two children, you should check the strength of the stairs and the side of the upper berth on the spot. Even before the purchase, you should clearly know whether there is a possibility that your grown-up baby will not fall.
Guarantees
It is necessary to buy beds for children only in well-known and time-tested furniture stores. A good manufacturer will provide its customers with guarantees of the quality of their goods. On average, the warranty period for baby beds varies from 2 to 5 years and depends on the base material.

If your child is out of nursery age, you can take it with you to the store, and he will try to choose a color for his bed. The color of the bed is especially important if you buy it at once for three boys. In this case it will be very difficult to please everyone.
The size
For each age there are different standards for the length and width of the bed. If you buy a bed for 8 years, then keep in mind that the student will eventually turn into a tall teenager.

Recently, beds for boys of the most diverse forms have become very popular: houses, boats, cars, etc.
Style
If your child is already independent, then he can safely ask what he sees his bedroom. After that, you can go with him to the store for the bed in the sea or space style.

The cost consists of materials, construction, design, etc. If you think that all of the above is the declared value, then feel free to buy a bed. Do not fall for the tricks of sellers and do not buy too expensive or too cheap models.
Material
For the youngest children, the main material of manufacture is natural wood, as it is the safest and at the same time expensive. For older children, beds are made of plastic, chipboard or metal.
Metal is the most durable and wood is the safest material. The most original models are made of plastic.Think about what is more important for you and choose the appropriate design.

Design examples in the interior
Making a child's room is not only interesting, but also a very important activity, so you need to treat it with a special understanding and knowledge of some details. When considering the design of a child's room, consider the fact that something different is required for different ages.
1-3 years
At a tender age, the baby needs a calm and comfortable room, in which there is nothing superfluous, and all the most necessary things are made of environmentally friendly materials.
Some moments in the design of the nursery for a toddler boy:
- Calm shade wallpaper;
- Minimum bright accents;
- The presence of a spacious place for games;
- Safe furniture: with rounded corners, low bed, table, shelves, high chairs, corresponding to the growth of the child.
All these points are taken into account in the photo examples:
- The nursery in green-orange tones is designed to stay for a baby for 1-3 years. The interior has a cradle for the baby and a rocking chair for the baby a little older. Absolutely all the furniture is made in a small version of natural wood and has no sharp corners. The center has a soft carpet and toys for entertaining the baby.
- The room is in brown-orange color. Light peach shade goes well with a darker chocolate shade. A minimum of decor in the form of paper balls and birds, safe furniture of a small size, an easy chair for mother and ottoman - everything was very well chosen.
3-5 years
Quite an interesting age for the baby. During this period, the boy's character is formed, and individuality is manifested. Therefore, in the design of the bedroom already need to focus on the preference of the child. At this age, children have a variety of interests, so it is very important to equip not only a sleeping place, but also a place to practice: drawing, modeling, etc. There should be a lot of space for active games, since 5 year old children are very mobile.
Photo examples:
- Green-blue bedroom for a boy 3-5 years old.A moderately bright and at the same time calm color scheme: a white ceiling, blue walls with a small patch of multicolored stripes, green wood cabinets and shelves, a blue bed. If you look closely, you can see bright accents in the form of an image of Lightning McQueen from a cartoon car on the closet, as well as stickers and a poster of Engry Birds. These bright spots show what loves the boy who lives in this bedroom the most.
- Bright and stylish nursery for the kindergarten boy. The interior is very colorful and made in accordance with the wishes of the boy: the bright attributes of racing sports cars clearly “speak” about this. The functionality of the room at the height. It has absolutely everything: a bed, a workplace, a wardrobe, a nightstand, shelves with toys and enough space for active games.
7-8 years
The transitional age, as it is during this period of time the baby turns into a more responsible and diligent student. Now it is very important in the design to equip a comfortable and spacious place to practice. About the place for games also do not forget. It is very good in the room for 7-8 years to zone the space, clearly separating the games area from the working area.
Photo examples of the design of the room for the younger student:
- Comfortable and multifunctional children's room, in which there are clearly delineated places for exercise and sleep with a wooden structure. The berth is equipped on the second level, and the bottom of the design is occupied by spacious cabinets. On the left are drawers and shelves for books, and there is also a separate table for classes. In such a place the child will be calm and interesting.
- Bright thematic nursery for the future football player. The room is clearly divided into three zones: for practice, for games and for sleeping. The first zone consists of a functional table and a comfortable chair; the second zone has enough space for ball games, for which there is a special grid; for sleeping there is a bed with drawers, originally decorated with a decorative football goal. The flooring is very interestingly decorated: the floor is covered with soft terry carpet in the form of green grass, which is usually the case on a football field.
10-12 years
A rather contradictory age when a child moves from a childhood stage to a more conscious life. At this age, the child has developed a character and appeared permanent interests,which is important when arranging a child's room.
Several interesting options for one and for two boys:
- The original children's room for the grown up boy in blue and red colors. Almost all the attributes are made taking into account the favorite themes of the child: a bed-machine, installed in an improvised garage with a house on the second floor, a decorative gas station, bright flags. In such a place the child will never feel uncomfortable.
- Children's for two boys in restrained tones. It is very spacious and functional, as there is enough free space, storage cabinets and a work area.
Room design for a teenage boy
The most difficult age of the child. During this period, the boy has long been out of childhood and almost became an adult youth. When designing a room for a teenager, you should rely only on his wishes and needs, otherwise you risk not to please your child.
- Room for a teenager - a musician in a fairly dark colors with bright accents in the form of posters and pictures. Comfortable sleeping and ergonomic workplace, a minimum of furniture - this is the secret of successful design of the teen room.
- Small but cozy room. No bright colors (except for a bright accent on the wall in the form of graffiti) and ergonomic furniture, these are the main advantages of a room for a teenager.
For boys over 12 years old, the room should be a place of solitude and rest, unlike the younger generation, which plays and develops most of the time within its bedroom. Teenagers, on the other hand, spend most of their time with friends away from home or school, consider this and your child will be grateful to you.
