If a couple of decades ago it was fashionable to have something that “everyone” has, but today trends have changed, and it is considered chic to be individual. The modern world allows you to have atypical (even the most unexpected) hobbies, and the current capabilities of industry allow you to make your deepest dream come true.
If adults do not always bring self-expression to the fore, then it is very important for children that their room be unusual, as much as possible in line with their interests.
Unusual children's beds will be a great addition to the interior of the room.
Original design options for cots
It should be understood that the vast majority of original models are not mass-produced, but made to order. There are about as many of them as there are people who want to create ideal conditions for their children. However, some of the more striking examples have gained some popularity on the Internet, which is why other parents order the same or similar beds.
At the same time, the unusualness can lie both in one design and in practical moments.
For boy a typically boyish theme, such as transportation, is best. The bed in the form of a sports car can no longer even be called too original, but analogues for preschoolers in the form of funny trains, buses, boats are still a huge rarity. Keep in mind that a large and unusual bed will clearly become the central element of the entire interior, so repairs must be done with a discount on its design. The crib, designed in the form of a ship, can be supplemented with seascapes on the walls or curtains in the form of sails.
Girls love beautifully designed cribs too., and their favorite topic is princesses. The simplest solution is a sleeping place in the image and likeness of the beds of real medieval princesses, but you can also complicate it a little by turning the bed into a carriage or a whole castle. The latter option takes up a lot of space, but it successfully replaces not only the sleeping area, but also the play area.
In second place among the preferences of young ladies are fairies and sorceresses, and they live in the forest, so try to play up this theme (at least in the form of a tree at the head). Girls will also like cars, but with the right approach - in pink.
There are not so many design options for two children - usually such products either represent large transport (for example, a double-decker bus), or play on the theme of fabulous housing - palaces, tree houses. Two children need a lot of free space, so much attention is paid to practicality, because a compact bed does not have to be a bunk bed. One berth can "hide" in the body of the second.
Toy beds are also popular.that do not have a body at all - at first glance. This is a large soft toy (or even a pillow) that you can play with, but also equipped with a sleeping place. Such beds are even mass-produced - in the form of animals (brand Incredibeds Bedjammies) and cartoon characters (Kidsmart 123).
Materials
Since each such bed is individual and unusual, the materials used in its manufacture can be quite unexpected - especially considering that the product is almost always made to order, according to the customer's project. When choosing materials, you are free to experiment, and the only raw materials that should be avoided are those that can harm the child.
Such materials include Chipboard Low quality. In essence, this is ordinary wood, its individual particles are glued together with a large amount of synthetic glue, the origin of which is often very doubtful. Similar concerns are raised by many plastic - this material can emit harmful vapors into the air, and at the slightest fire it will simply destroy the atmosphere in a closed room.
The third material to be treated with caution is paintwork... It is probably present on any unusual bed, but it is worth distinguishing between high-quality and low-quality varieties. To do this, pay attention to quality certificates. If the product is nevertheless purchased in a store in finished form, an unpleasant smell will help to determine a low-quality varnish or paint - it happens only with harmful chemicals.
As for the materials that received the green light, it is wood - both solid wood and MDF... It is a strong and durable material that has an ecological origin, and therefore is completely harmless and does not even cause allergies.
Wood also has a wonderful appearance, which will only contribute to the beauty of the finished furniture.
To strengthen a large and heavy structure, you can use internal parts made of strong metals, but they are recommended to be taken out only in a situation where the design directly requires it. The use of plastic is also acceptable, but only the best samples. Among the relatively atypical decorative materials, textiles and perforated plates are actively used.
How to choose?
An unusual bed model can both reveal your delicate taste and turn out to be sheer tasteless. You can choose an atypical model so that it is in place, using the following tips:
- Do not forget that you choose the bed not for yourself, but for the baby. Many designer models make even adults gasp sincerely, but this does not mean that your children want the same thing that would make you happy as a child. Ideally, you should consult with your child about what he would like to see in his bedroom.
- Do not try to fit an unusual bed into a regular interior., otherwise she alone will attract attention, which makes all other furniture and accessories seem faded. If you have already decided to decorate the room in an unusual way, develop the chosen theme for the whole room, not limited to the bed.
- If you choose something unusual, not for the sake of the original design, but for maximum practicality, think in advance what you need - the minimum required space, storage boxes, shelves, play area or something else. Since such products are usually made to order, do not be afraid of even the most daring ideas - as long as they are thoughtful and correspond to requests.
Room design ideas
A bright, beautiful racing car remains the clear leader in terms of sympathy among boys, even if it's just a bed. Pillows with logo Ferrari and themed textiles will only enhance the delight of the baby.
The bed for a girl looks very gentle, made in the form of a sea shell, in which a small lamp at the head plays the role of a pearl. The baby will feel like a mermaid.
If there are two children, then a bunk bed is the best option to save space. However, this does not mean that she should look boring and uninteresting.
If you are in doubt about what to give your child a bed or a large soft toy, it is better to just give two in one. The kid will just be delighted with such an interesting option.
