Furnishing your twins' room easily, it's possible!

When expecting twins, there are usually twice as many things to think about and numerous items that need to be found in duplicate. While this may seem somewhat daunting, there are now practical, clever, and economical solutions available to prepare for the arrival of two babies, especially when it comes to furnishing their room. So, what furniture should you plan for when setting up a twin bedroom? What are the tips to know to make daily life easier and save money? We'll tell you everything!

Two separate beds or a twin baby bed?

To furnish the room for these two future children, everything obviously starts with the bed, or rather, the beds. Indeed, each child must have their own bed. During the first 6 months of the children's lives, cribs are recommended, then barred beds will be appropriate to give the children more space. You can certainly consider buying two identical beds for each stage of your children's growth, but this can take up a lot of space and represent a significant investment.

Fortunately, there is now the solution of the twin baby bed. The twin baby bed is a piece of furniture designed to provide two sleeping spaces and therefore two beds for each child. It's not uncommon for the two sleeping spaces in a twin baby bed to be close to each other, which tends to reassure the children by keeping them side by side. More than a twin baby bed, it's a true evolving piece of furniture that can be found to maximize space and opt for a practical everyday solution.

We will also ensure to take into account certain basic criteria to choose a piece of furniture that is both healthy and eco-responsible. We can thus verify that it has a PEFC or FSC label which proves that the wood used is from eco-managed forests. Made in France can also be an interesting choice for its quality. We will also opt for furniture with materials with low formaldehyde content and with solvent-free paints to limit the presence of volatile organic compounds and thus preserve the health of our children.

Our twin baby bed model: WILLOW

At Nateo Concept, we have created the WILLOW model. This evolving twin baby bed includes two cribs, two changing tables, and plenty of storage. As the babies grow, this twin baby bed can transform. You can then enjoy two side-by-side barred beds and two small changing tables equipped with their storage. Finally, this evolving twin bed can take a final form by creating two children's beds with their two small storage units. It is therefore a purchase that you will make at the birth of the twins, but that you will be able to continue using until they are 6 years old. Don't forget the importance of choosing the right baby mattresses for the children's sleep.

Plenty of storage for clothes, toys, books, etc.

More than the twin baby bed, you'll also need to install various storage solutions in their room to organize toys, books, and of course, clothes. You can opt for different elements such as a wardrobe, a chest of drawers, toy chests, etc. Although it's not always necessary to buy everything in duplicate, it's recommended to clearly distinguish the spaces for each child's belongings. Indeed, it's important that each child has their own drawers with their clothes in the chest of drawers, for example. This is why parents often prefer to buy two storage units so that each child has their own. This way, you can clearly differentiate between the two children.

In summary, if each child has their own sleeping space in a twin baby bed, they should also have their own storage space for clothes, toy chest, etc. If space is limited, you can assign 2 drawers of the chest to each child or differentiate two storage spaces within the same wardrobe.

Different decoration for each child

Each child should therefore have their own sleeping space in their twin baby bed, their own storage furniture, and of course, their own decoration. Here, the idea will be to vary the decoration of each area of the room. For example, you can opt for two different bed canopies, different small cushions, different rugs, etc. You can also choose different colors for the bedding or decorative objects while ensuring that the two colors work well together and create a lovely harmony in the room.

Once again, the objective here is for each child to have their own identity with a decoration different from their brother or sister. As the child grows, they will be more able to assert their tastes to distinguish themselves, but in the meantime, it is interesting for parents to take the initiative themselves not to reproduce everything identically for both children. You should therefore be able to distinguish two spaces within the same room.

In addition to the twin baby bed and storage elements, it is recommended not to clutter the space too much since even in a large room, two children sharing the same room will need space. It is therefore preferable to furnish the place intelligently by opting for well-thought-out storage solutions that will allow the room to be kept as organized as possible over time. Moreover, avoiding overcrowding the room will only make cleaning that much easier, which will be appreciated by parents.
