Decor: Wooden bunk bed for children

Perfect for saving space and allowing two children to share the same room, the wooden bunk bed is also a real asset in terms of decoration. Indeed, the bunk bed can be decorated according to the theme or colors of the room to create an even more playful and warm environment for your children. Discover all our advice on how to choose your wooden bunk bed, but also how to decorate it according to your wishes.

What is a wooden bunk bed?

A wooden bunk bed is a bunk bed mainly made of wood. The principle is very simple, a solid structure allows two single beds to be stacked one above the other. Thus, a wooden bunk bed takes up very little space in the room while providing access to two sleeping spaces for two children. This type of furniture is generally chosen for a room shared by two children and sometimes even more. This way, you benefit from real space saving.

The different types of bunk beds

Today, it is entirely possible to opt for different models of bunk beds. We can notably mention:

  • The wooden bunk bed: As mentioned previously, this solid wood bunk bed provides noble and quality materials that will be more robust and durable over time.
  • The 90x190 bunk bed: This is generally the standard size offered for this type of furniture. However, you can also opt for a 90x200 model. These two measurements represent the standard size for a single bed.
  • The 3-person bunk bed: It is entirely possible to discover 3 sleeping spaces in a bunk bed. There is indeed the possibility to opt for an additional sleeping space thanks to a drawer under the bottom bed, trundle bed style. The 3-person bunk bed therefore allows 3 children to sleep thanks to a single piece of furniture.
  • The separable bunk bed: If you plan to provide two rooms for your children in the future, you can opt for a separable bunk bed. This furniture allows you to stack or separate the two beds according to your wishes.

How to choose the right children's bunk bed?

The choice of a children's bunk bed can be made according to several criteria. In the case of a wooden bunk bed, you can pay attention to its origin. Prefer FSC or PEFC certified wood to ensure it comes from sustainably managed forests.

To preserve your child's well-being, we recommend choosing furniture designed:

1- With eco-friendly panels with low formaldehyde content

2- With solvent-free paints and varnishes

You thus avoid the presence of volatile organic compounds that can harm well-being. Our HOYA 90x190 bunk bed model meets all these criteria. Made of solid pine, it is available in three different colors.

Finally, also pay attention to the brand's reputation, the quality of the furniture, and of course its style according to your tastes.

Finding the right place for the bunk bed in the room

Once you've chosen your bunk bed, you'll need to find a place for it. Generally, the bunk bed finds its place in a corner of the room to take up as little space as possible. We recommend installing it against a wall, paying attention that it doesn't interfere with the opening of the door or window. Before deciding and installing the mattresses, you can try several positions to find the ideal place for this furniture in your child's room.

Decorating a solid wood bunk bed

Once the furniture has found its place, all you have to do is decorate it. The first step relies on choosing the bedding which is an undeniable asset in terms of children's room decoration. Prefer colorful and/or patterned bedding that will bring life to the room. You will have no trouble finding bedding specifically dedicated to younger ones to match the theme of the room. You can also add small cushions to make the whole even more comfortable.

You can also use the bunk bed structure to add garlands. Wrapped around the guardrail for example, it's an opportunity to add small pennants, pompoms, or even a string of lights for example. This will make the bunk bed even more original.

You can also dress up the wall against which the bunk bed is placed. You can use wallpaper, but also colored paint to paint the entire wall or just a part of it to highlight this small sleeping area. For example, you can create a giant circle that will surround the furniture and will be painted in color. You can also opt for a panoramic wallpaper to create a real backdrop behind the bed. It's up to you to see what best suits the room's organization.

Finally, don't hesitate to add small lamps at the head of each bed for evening reading. There are systems designed to attach to a bed edge, but you can also mount wall lights. Choose lamp models equipped with buttons that are easy to find in the dark. Your children will thus be able to easily light up without disturbing each other to read in the evening, find their comfort toy during the night, or light up in case of urgent needs.
