What is the best bed for a teenager's room?

As children grow, their needs naturally become different, and this is particularly true when it comes to the furniture in your teenager's room. They will indeed want decor more suitable for their age, but also need furniture that better corresponds to their daily activities. This is true for the installation of a desk or more storage space for example, but also for choosing a more appropriate child's bed. So what is the most suitable furniture for a teenager's room? How can you create a universe that resembles them more and in which they feel good? What are the important criteria to consider?

Choosing the bed for your teenager

As the centerpiece of the room, the bed must be well-chosen for a teenager's room. It indeed needs to be spacious and comfortable enough to support the weight and size of a growing child. Therefore, it's often time to say goodbye to their child's bed that has sometimes been overused, to opt for a model adapted to your teenager's needs.

The size

The first criterion to consider is the size of the child or teen bed you're going to choose. Indeed, teenagers grow quickly and will soon need an adult-sized bed. Opting for a 90x190 cm child bed is therefore the minimum size for a teenager's room. The dimensions 90x190 cm correspond to a standard single bed size. If space allows, you can opt for a 140x200 cm bed which will provide even more space and comfort.

The materials

The choice of materials is also important as you have the option to choose materials that are higher quality than others, and also more environmentally friendly. Wood is therefore obviously the preferred choice for children's beds. Indeed, a wooden child's bed will be more robust and more durable over time. Moreover, it's an opportunity to opt for a FSC or PEFC certified wooden child's bed. This means that the wood used to make the bed comes from sustainably managed forests. Furthermore, consider prioritizing the use of materials with low formaldehyde content or solvent-free paints.

Moreover, opting for a 90x190 cm child's bed made in France is also a good way to choose a durable and quality piece of furniture.

Why choose a child's bed with storage?

In a teenager's room, belongings can tend to accumulate and storage space can quickly become scarce. Therefore, you can certainly prioritize purchasing a child's bed with storage. The child's storage bed is thus a classic child's bed, but also equipped with various storage elements. The child's bed with storage can take several forms such as:

  • The bed with drawer: It has a storage drawer just below the bed base to store many items.
  • The trundle bed with storage: It allows for storing a second bed just below the bed base and can also contain storage, such as our OSLO trundle bed with storage.
  • The bed with storage equipped with compartments: It is surrounded by several storage compartments or niches that allow for organizing books, toys, or decorative objects for example.
  • The storage bed: Equipped with a hydraulic system, this bed with storage allows lifting the bed base to store all kinds of items, even the bulkiest ones. The question remains which storage bed to choose.
  • The mid-height bed with storage: It has large storage boxes in the style of a bed with drawers to organize even more belongings.
  • The loft bed with storage: Under the bed base, there can be complete storage furniture or even a small desk for example.

There are therefore many options for children's beds with storage, which allows for creating a well-thought-out and well-organized room even if it is small in size.

What other furniture in a teenager's room?

More than a bed with storage, you also have the possibility to add other furniture in your teenager's room. The dresser is a very good choice, it allows for storing many varied items without cluttering the space too much. You also have the possibility to add a wardrobe to store your teenager's clothes which can be, let's face it, very numerous. In any case, try to minimize the clutter in the space so that the areas remain pleasant to occupy.

Also think about finding a place to accommodate a small desk in order to provide your child with a suitable workspace.

The secret of a well-organized teenager's room

Teenagers tend to get overwhelmed and often have other concerns than tidying their room. To prevent this from becoming a daily battle, creating a space where tidying is easy is an excellent first step. So make sure your teenager's room has enough storage for all their belongings.

Moreover, when drawers overflow and the situation becomes uncontrollable, you can suggest a big clean-up of the room. This will allow to make a clean slate and avoid keeping things that are no longer used. If your teenager has trouble parting with their childhood belongings, suggest keeping what they care about in a closed box to be stored in the garage or attic for example.
