Children’s cabin bed

Cabin beds are designed for children, there is no question about that, I am yet to see a cabin bed meant for adult to sleep in (a business niche perhaps? ). But there are differences between cabin beds for girls and cabin beds for boys but also between those that are built for very small children and those for older ones.

Cabin beds for small children are mostly dedicated to the safety of your child. The space below the bed is generally equipped with many drawers so you can have your baby’s clothes very close when you need them. The decoration does not play the most important part at this stage, the cabin bed for a baby must be practical more than anything else.

As your children grow, there is less need for the extra storage space. They get less dirty, so you need less clothes, you do not need diapers any more so that extra space below the bed can be used for more playful purposes. We have already discussed many different motifs that are popular for girls cabin beds and those that are most common with boys cabin beds so I will not go over that again.

Considering the similarity between both products, I am certain that those looking for bunk beds for kids will also find our tips and suggestions useful.

You want your cabin bed to be safe for your child to sleep in, play in and climb all over it. Stompa people have all these aspect very well covered and in our opinion they are a step in front of their competition.

So what’s so special about cabin beds anyway?

Well, probably the most appealing feature a cabin bed has to offer is heaps of extra storage space under it. Usually there are drawers with clothes underneath the bed or shelves for toys and books, but I have also seen pull out desks being attached. When in use it pulls out and your child can sit next to it and write, draw or whatever the wish is and when finished, you simply push the desk back.

The other fun feature of cabin beds is the magical world you can create for children. The most popular designs for girls are pink princess beds and for boys pirate ships and castles. But the most important thing is that you don’t have to decide whether your child will have a practical cabin bed with lots of space for drawers and shelves or a more fun design mentioned above. Nope, you can combine both features and have both fun and good use of space.

After all, the most important thing is that your child feels comfortable in his room and if you can add some functionality to it all – well, that’s what’s so special about cabin beds

Cabin bed ideas

Cabin bed for gilrs

Considering I have many children and therefore many cabin beds, we have become experts on how to decorate them. The cabin bed that first belonged to my oldest son is now not really in a condition to be used anymore, but I still remember that he decorated it in a castle like style with a moat and a bridge drawed on the side of the bed.

After him it seems all my kids developed artistic skills by learning to draw and paint on their cabin beds.

Cabin bed stencil art

A nice way to decorate those dull looking cabin beds is using stencil. You can buy them at most furniture and even hardware stores. There aren’t any made only for beds (at least I haven’t seen one yet ), but those meant for walls can easily be used. You can also make stencils yourself by cutting a desired shape out of a large piece of cardboard or firm paper. After you acquired your stencil simply attach it to the side of the cabin bed and spray or paint  the desired color over the stencil, leaving a stencil shape on the frame. Make sure you use children friendly colours that don’t contain any hazardous chemicals.
