You can then add some decorative elements like the woven basket that holds greenery, striped bedding and a comfy stool to complete the design.
Safety
Kids bunk beds with stairways are safer alternatives to ladders. Ladders can be dangerous and cause children to fall or get caught up while climbing up or down the bed. Stairs, however they provide a wide and solid pathway to the top of the bed that eliminates this danger. Kids can also step down from the top bunk without requiring any help from parents, which reduces the likelihood of injuries and accidents.
If you're considering buying a bunk bed for kids with stairs, ensure that it meets all safety standards and certifications. This means that the bunk bed has been evaluated and approved by a third-party organization to meet all local and national child safety regulations.
Certain manufacturers restrict the use of bunk beds only to children who are less than six years old. This is due to the fact that young children may not have the coordination to climb a ladder in a safe manner and could end up falling out of the bed, which could be extremely risky. It is also recommended that only one child sleep on the top bunk at a time, to reduce the chance of injury from rough playing or jumping.
If you are shopping for a kid bunk bed with stairs, select one that has guardrails on each side of the bed. The gap between them shouldn't be more than 3 1/2 inches wide. This will prevent your child from rolling under the railing and getting trapped between the mattress foundation. Take away any tripping hazards like clothing, backpacks and toys from the area surrounding the ladder. Encourage your children to tidy their sleeping area before going to bed.
Another important safety suggestion is to keep the bunk beds safe from windows, ceiling fans and any other objects that could fall on children. You should also install a nightlight inside the room so that your children are able to be able to see their way should they have to rise in the dark or descend from the top bunk during a sleepover.
Fun
Bunk beds are a great way for you to make space and create a fun room layout. The stairs make it easier for children and adults to get to the top bunk, and add a fun design element. Kids love the extra features they can access themselves such as slides, and many low bunk beds feature a built-in slide.
The ideal slide for bunk beds is a slide that occupies a small space and creates a play area in your child's bedroom. It can be used to entertain children for hours, and also to encourage exercise. The slide can be used to get out and in of bed during the day, and also to get ready for school. Slides can be taken down when your child grows out of it.
For the more traditional bunk bed style, you can find many twin-over-twin beds, with an incline on the side or a staircase that is on either the left or right side of the bed. The stairs on the bunk bed can be removed, turning it into two twin beds by using an trundle. This is ideal for sleepovers. Some bunk beds also have built-in storage, and don't require a foundation, saving you space and money.
