Loft beds with steps are an excellent way to increase space for youngsters, especially in shared rooms. With an upper and lower deck, so to speak, you can get double or even triple duty out of waking time floor space – that would be with a loft, a lower bed, and a pull-out trundle bed. Even the steps can help create added storage space.
One of the nifty ideas centered around loft beds with steps is to make each step be a storage drawer. If you are worried about dirt sifting off children’s shoes as they climb the steps, make those drawers a place to keep toys or personal treasures. Or you could just insist that shoes remain by the door of the room and not track across the carpet. Beneath the storage steps, you could add a small chest of drawers and a narrow closet for even more added storage space.
Speaking of castles, a junior loft bed can quickly become a playhouse when fitted out with a castle curtain. Doors, windows, and even a tiny awning can create a space for hours of fun. Available as a pink castle or cottage, or as a firehouse with printed on fire engine, door, window and perky dalmatian. A great place for a youngster to play or to hide toys when urged toward a hurry-up room cleaning.
Also, consider getting a loft bed with a slide. With a playground-style step ladder and a broad slide, your child’s bed can double as a play space and jungle gym. While perhaps not the perfect answer for rainy days or unfriendly neighborhoods, it can provide the preschool set with hours of entertainment – or at least fifteen minutes' worth. The upper deck can easily become a pirate ship, a firehouse or a castle in the imagination of your young explorer.
It is necessary to have 33 to 36 inches of space between the top of the mattress and your ceiling, which means your ceiling should be about 100 inches high. When planning a loft bed, another thing to consider is the probable height of your child. It is a sad day when a youngster puts on a growth spurt and no longer fits in what has been a treasured space. While sixteen might see forever away from six, those years pass more quickly than you can imagine. It is good to be prepared for that inevitable change in size.
