When thinking about custom children's bedrooms, it is wise to consider a design that has room to grow with your child. In light of this, today's custom children's beds need to be more than beds alone. They need to be multi-purpose pieces of furniture, combined, of course, with fanciful works of art, designed with a growing child's needs foremost in mind. And that's precisely how we've designed our custom children's bed, as multi-functional pieces of children's furniture that fulfill a parent's needs and a child's desires.
No longer does a parent ever have to settle for a custom children's bed that's just a bed again. Not when you can find double-function and triple-function custom children's furniture that serves as a playroom and a storage unit as well as a bed, all in one.
Kids Playroom Storage Furniture
The benefits to such a multi-purpose unit are equally multi-fold. First there's the cost-savings. Some may imagine custom children's furniture to be expensive, but the truth is far different. The truth is the cost of purchasing separate pieces of children's furniture for each of the primary functional needs for a children's bedroom - sleep, play, storage - would likely be far higher.
Another benefit of multi-functional custom children's furniture is economy of space. Having to design a separate sleeping space, play space, storage units, and eventually study space, will require a large children's bedroom in which to arrange it all, or else make a small bedroom feel crowded and cramped.
Multi-functional custom children's beds solve that problem by having all of those spaces built-in to their sleek and compact design. The tremendous savings in floor space is enough of a value alone to make the cost of custom children's furniture pay for itself.
Examples of how such multi-functionality can be built-in to custom children's furniture is by having the staircase leading to the upper level of a bunk bed or loft double as a set of dresser drawers, each step another drawer. The way down from the loft or bunk bed, however, need not be the same set of stairs/drawers, but a slide on the opposite end of the unit, adding the element of play into that component of the design.
The trunk of a treehouse, the pillars at the entrance to a cottage, mansion, or dollhouse, or the towers of a castle can be turned into display shelves for your child's most treasured toys and then, as your child grows, transformed into bookshelves to help them with their studies.
Another way play space can be built into the design of custom children's beds is to build it onto the design. That is to say, build a sturdy enough structure that can be climbed on (for we all know children love to climb) and create a way to encourage safe climbing. This can be easily accomplished by transforming a support structure, like a cottage or castle wall or the trunk of a treehouse, into a climbing wall with no-slip steps and hand grips.
Of course the most obvious and versatile way to design place space into custom children's furniture is to build an entire, open play space into the design, into which parents can place all sorts of toys and games, and children can enjoy all sorts of activities. This is simple to do in a two-level structure that isn't a bunk bed (in other words: where both levels aren't being used for sleeping).
In a castle, cottage, mansion, or dollhouse themed custom children's bedroom, for example, the interior chamber can be kept open as a play space, as can the castle turrets or the cottage, mansion, or dollhouse rooftops. In a treehouse bed, storage can be built into the trunk and a play space can be built into the treetops.
A completely different way to transform custom children's beds into multi-functional pieces of furniture is to order convertible units. With convertible children's furniture, elements can be moved and altered to serve different functions. For example, a bunk bed can be designed to reassemble as a single bed with seating units, perfect if your children have friends over to watch a movie, play a video game, or have a tea party.
Or build a trundle bed into your custom children's bed with a sleeping unit that rolls out. This is perfect for sleepovers and can be tucked away when not in use to make ample extra play space. Plus, you could remove the mattress and use the space for extra storage.
Custom children's beds can even solve the question of lighting in your child's bedroom. Rather than installing expensive ceiling fixtures or finding space for bulky lamps, abundant lighting can be built into your child's custom bed. Plus, the design of most custom children's furniture is open and airy, with lots of windows and portholes and such, allowing for plenty of light as well as a healthy circulation of air.
Buying your child a custom children's bed is one thing. But giving your child a multi-purpose custom children's furniture unit that incorporates sleeping, playing, studying, and storing into its design is a gift for both your child and you.
