When your daughter’s ready to move from a crib to a real bed, you want to choose furniture that will last for many years of her childhood and beyond, as well as provide her the best setting to grow up. Whether she aspires to be a nurse or a CEO someday, she can feel like a princess in her own room with furniture that will adapt a bedroom to being a play area, sleeping space, and homework nook.
Choosing a Bed
First of all, choose a bed out of options ranging from loft beds to staircase beds. If you want to easily turn your daughter’s bedroom into a playroom, consider a Maxtrix loft bed, which can include a top tent that turns the whole bed into a playhouse. With colors including several shades of pink, purple, and green, the tent add-on even includes curtains that she can open or close as she goes to work in her miniature home.
If your daughter’s bedroom has limited space and you want to maximize storage for her growing collection of clothing, consider a staircase bed. The Maxtrix staircase bed can include a drawer unit underneath as well as drawers within the stairs, providing plenty of space for dresses and jewelry. A pull out desk completes the unit, with an area for reading or studying that smoothly slides back under the bed to conserve space. If your primary goal is to include plenty of storage capacity, choose 4 or 5 rows of drawers. Solid wood construction with dovetailed drawers ensures the dresser unit will hold up for years to come.
Add Some Storage
If you need additional drawers in the unit, find a dresser or chest to go with the bed. Maxtrix chests and drawers come in a variety of sizes, finished in a natural wood look, chestnut, or white. Maple or birch wood makes up drawer fronts as well as the frames to provide stability.
Other hardwood chests to consider for girls’ bedrooms include those from the Emma Collection. Choose from a four- or six-drawer chest, as well as a wider dresser that comes with an optional mirror. Elegantly crafted with antiqued metal knobs and pulls, these units add a vintage look to any room.
Display the Books
As your daughter collects books, dolls, and other items she’d like to display in her room, a bookcase comes in handy. To complete a vintage look, the Emma bookcase includes three wide shelves with an arch over the top. One shelf can be moved to adapt to the size of larger books.
Also consider the Classics 4.0 Summer White Bookcase, which stands about five feet tall with three adjustable shelves and a bottom drawer. Subtle holes allow space to insert cords for easy charging and out-of-the-way placement for phone chargers and clock cords.
