When choosing a bed for a teenager, consult with him about color schemes. Many parents believe that furniture should be the most-most stylish, of all possible shades of the rainbow and with incredible functionality, forgetting, however, to ask the child himself what he would like. In the shops, now there are a variety of beds for teens for both large and small rooms.
There are several basic characteristics that should be considered when choosing a bed for a teenager:
- The frame from which the bed is made must be made of environmentally friendly materials (natural wood, particleboard or MDF).
- The berth should be comfortable, with a convenient orthopedic mattress with hypoallergenic natural fillers. Your child’s spine develops and grows, so he needs quality support during sleep.
- If you decide to choose upholstered furniture as a bed for a teenager, then choose sofa upholstery from natural hypoallergenic materials.
- You should not clutter up the child’s room with a huge berth, it’s better to look at the folding sofas, items with drawers or transforming beds for teenagers in the shops, and choose the appropriate option. Furniture for sleep should be comfortable, rational and functional.
- The standard sizes of a bed for a teenager are usually 190 (length) and 120 cm (width) - this is the best combination for a fast-growing person. The height should be approximately 40-50 cm.
- If you have two children of the same gender, you can buy a bunk bed for them with a beautiful and unusual design.
Sometimes, to save space, it is rational to purchase a transforming bed. Then the berth will be on the second tier, and on the first there will be a desk and a cabinet for books and papers. Children are very fond of climbing stairs to a high bed! Remember that in this case it should be equipped with strong sides to avoid the child falling during sleep.
There are beds, the length of which can increase depending on the height of the child, that is, move apart from 120 cm to 190 cm. This option is convenient because you can make different arrangements in the room without changing the furniture. Beds with drawers are very comfortable. You can put bedding, seasonal clothes, toys or books there. I myself had such a bed, and I kept there New Year's toys, books, shoes - in general, everything that came to mind! By the way, such boxes will be convenient in the usual double bed of parents. They can clean bedspreads, pillows and blankets, without cluttering up the bedroom space during sleep. Below you can see just such an option for a bed for teenagers. The photo shows an option for two children, which includes an additional place to store things - this is a quite functional and interesting model in design.
You should not buy too boring, “adult” furniture for your child, because children must play, develop, and the colors in their rooms also affect the perception of the outside world. Nevertheless, you should not go to extremes and acquire a bed that is too flashy, wild and acid in colors, otherwise the teenager will fall into aggression or despondency. The child's room should be bright, but the colors should be perceived by the look calmly. A good solution is to use pastel colors of furniture (blue, green, orange) with bright accessories.
