Furniture that Grows with a Child
It feels like it occurs overnight when you realize that your infant is now a toddler. Give him or her a handful of years, and he or she will be old enough to go to preschool. Given these rapid changes, it will be a intelligent move on your part to get furniture for your child’s room that grows with him or her. By simply doing a little bit of planning you can save yourself a huge amount of aggravation by not having to continually purchase new furniture for your child’s room.
Stocking up on basic furniture pieces with traditional look is a wonderful style choice. Classic selections will endure the test of time. All you have to do is bring the creativity. Here are some ideas to help you find furniture that keeps up with your child.
Unfinished Wood Furniture: A wardrobe, chest of drawers, bookcase, and bed are essential pieces for a child’s room.. Sturdy and well-made pieces of décor, like unique wall plaques and decoration, can last for years if they are able to adapt to your child’s needs. Purchase unfinished wood furniture and wood carving wall art that can be painted and repainted to accommodate changing tastes in colors, themes, and patterns.
Bed, Convertible: It is very common as the expense of cribs has increased over the years for manufacturers to create the ability for a crib to morph into a child’s bed. The tall crib railings can be removed and shorter railings can be added instead, and you can purchase an extension kit that will make the bed long enough to hold your young school age child. By keeping your furniture acquisitions simple and neutral they will always make a functional background for a young person’s room. By including new trim and hardware, some furniture manufacturers encourage you to update the look of your same fundamental piece instead of buying new.
Armoire: In the absence of a closet an armoire acts as a source of storage for the room. While it can act as a closet, it can also work as additional storage space. When your youngster grows into a toddler and goes off to school, the armoire can house toys and clothes. For an older child the armoire is a great desk space.
Changing table to chest of drawers or bookshelf: Some changing tables have a top surface that can be taken off and folded over to create an attractive and brand new chest of drawers. While some changing tables change into dressers, others become bookshelves, which can be made to store books or toys.
Bench: While a toy box always helps to organize a bedroom, a child will quickly outgrow it, and this is why a using a storage bench as a toy box and then later for storage is such a good idea. Look for a bench with a lid that lifts up but will not slam on little fingers. For an older child, the storage bench can double as a seating area with the addition of some comfortable padding on it.
Storage Cubes: One of the easiest and most effective organization systems, the storage cube is versatile and cost effective. Some modular storage systems can be reconfigured in many different ways, and they even have kits to include doors, which really makes these systems versatile. As with any furniture combination using classic lines and a neutral color palette guarantees that the storage cubes will remain viable for a long time.
