Secrets of psychology, or what does a bunk bed have to do with it

So, you are planning to buy a miracle bed for your kids, girls and boys. They are crazy about the options considered and wanted the most fabulous. However, your decision is more practical, and your choice is a sliding option with drawers, the possibility of turning into a sofa and a convenient staircase in order to conquer the second floor. Kids do not mind, they are waiting for the moment when it will be possible to play on the second floor or hide from the parents below. This is where an important moment comes, on which not only the “weather” in the nursery, but in the whole family, will depend.

Firstly, parents should distribute the floors of the beds for children.Usually an older boy (or girl) occupies the top shelf. Younger kid arranges for himself the lower floor. In this way, a hierarchy is observed, the foundations of which must be laid down in the family, the younger listens to the senior, the senior is responsible for the younger.

Secondly, it is worthwhile to understand that such a bed in your house is a place of unity, friendship and mutual assistance, and not vice versa. Living in a small area, but each having its own individual / separate / own space, each child learns to communicate with the other, find a common language in contentious issues, share toys, and in the future - and innermost secrets.

And you have not noticed how your children (not without the help of a bunk bed!) Became best friends with each other. Nothing more to desire!

Design features, or infinity of possibilities thanks to technology

A modern bunk bed for babies is far from the “soldier's” analogue that some of us had in childhood. Bulky, awkward, insecure, constantly creaking and striving to fall apart.

Bunk models of beds now are not only two berths located one above the other. This is the thoughtfulness of every detail / nuance / detail, the competent selection of accessories, fasteners, retractable and transforming systems, materials.

Therefore, your choice is quite obvious and it may be:

• classic version. Stationary sleeping places are located on different tiers. A convenient staircase leads from the lower floor to the upper one, which can be made of steps with a railing, and, for example, of drawers for linen, collected in a pencil case, the steps of which will be handles. For such a bed, you first need to come up with a comfortable place in the room, if possible and willing, connect it to the wall for maximum safety. Children age - from 4 years old;
• retractable bunk bed. This model is designed for rooms with low ceilings. It will ideally fit into such an interior, because the bed on the second floor in the daytime will serve as a place for games, and the bed on the first floor can be, for example, a work desk, at which the children will learn lessons;
• convertible bed. It is increasingly becoming the option of choice for many parents, not only due to the possibility of saving the free space of the children's room. Such a bed with a “flick of the wrist” turns into a sofa and a school desk, into a play area with a sofa or pouf, into a huge wardrobe;
• sofa bed. Such a transformation of a children's bunk bed is an ideal idea not only for the baby’s territory, but also for the entire small apartment. A comfortable sofa will become a place for games and receiving guests day or night - the most comfortable sleeping place for two beloved kids!

Particular attention in the production is paid not only to accessories and systems, but also to the safety of children. To do this, stairs are created with handrails of 3-4 steps so that the child travels the distance to the second floor easily, simply, safely. The berth of the second floor is always limited to sides of sufficient height so that the baby does not fall out during sleep. A frequent solution is removable sides that can be dismantled as soon as the child is older and will not need them.

Such a bed is also an auxiliary function in the form of a mini-wardrobe and drawers in which it is easy to store bedding and children's toys. They are designed for babies, so they are easy to manage. Boxes for clothes, a pencil case will teach kids living in the room to carefully and carefully handle their things, to take care of the cleanliness of the playing field or area for classes.

Created for each other, or a special bed in the interior of a children's room

The bunk bed in the nursery will become the center of a small universe, a focal point, the main functional and decorative object.Therefore, choosing a specific model, you can choose the color palette of the room, textiles and other elements of the furniture set.

At the same time, attention should be paid not only to the materials and build quality of the bed itself, but also to the color palette. Too bright colors in large quantities can suppress babies, make them tired and irritable. You do not need this, so there should be enough bright spots in the nursery to maintain activity and dynamics. The choice should be made in favor of a yellow tint and orange, blue and olive, pale pink in case we are talking about little princesses. In short, the color of the bed and the color of the room should be psychologically attractive and alluring for your children.

An important aspect of bed selection is shape. The main rule is ergonomics. Kids should not get hurt about sharp corners, protruding elements, loose fittings. Therefore, only high quality, streamlined shape, soft lines especially if the bed is selected for small children.

The creative design of such a bed is the guarantee that both of your children will like it. Therefore, not only competent design and correctly selected colors are welcome, but also decorative elements. For example, a ship bed must have a steering wheel and cables (serving as a railing), and a turtle bed must have paws and a small tail. Choose interesting wall panels to decorate the wall by the bed or appropriate wall stickers - and there will be no end to the delight of your children!

The location of such a bed and the lighting in the room are tasks that require the right solution. It is necessary to place such a bed so that it can be easily turned into a sofa or a table in case of transformation or to extend a berth in case it is a retractable option. Consider the location so that it is easy to get to the door from the bed and leave as much natural light as possible, that is, do not place the bed by the window.

Illumination is a special “fad” where a bunk bed occupies a place. Children should be comfortable in such a room, so it is possible to decorate the bed itself with light sources. Often, small LEDs and mini-sconces are provided by manufacturers.

In a word, attention to the chosen model. And nothing else is needed!
