Loft Bed Frame

How To Choose The Most Suitable Loft Bed Frame

The loft bed frame is a great way to maximise the space in your kid’s room. Unlike the traditional bunk bed the loft bed is a way of creating two uses for one space.

Depending on how stretched you are for space will decide how you use the space under the bed. Since the market is so flooded with different designs we have detailed below the advantages and disadvantages of the most popular of these.

1. Loft bed with work station. This is a very practical solution for kids who have started school and are have homework. You can either have a small desk and a futon style chair which will convert to an extra bed, or you can have a larger desk which fills the whole area. If you child is likely to have a computer on their desk the larger desk is probably the best choice.

2. Loft bed with storage. These are basically a single bed on top of a huge chest of drawers. Although it is not as wow as the other designs they are great for small rooms.

3. Loft bed with play area. These are great fun for smaller kids. They can have tents and dens underneath the loft bed. The biggest problem with this style is that it will only be a few years until your child will have out grown this style.

If you are looking to buy on bed and make it last until your kids leave home then you are defiantly best off with the loft bed frame and work station combination.

If you feel that this is too grown up for your younger child then you can always change the image of your loft bed with bright colourful kiddie bedding and put a toy box under the desk and colourings and picture books on the desk. It is much easier to make something more suitable for a younger child than to try and get a teenager to live with a toddlers design!

It is always a good idea to include your child in your choice of furniture as they are more likely to appreciate it if they think that it is their choice. So take them with you to a few shops and see what appeals to them before you buy their loft bed frame.
