You'll probably start designing a bedroom by considering your options for a bed. Sure you sleep in your bedroom, but the bedroom has far more purpose than this. Especially for kids, bedrooms can be sanctuaries and special places. It's a good idea to make the bedroom as ideal as you can.
The bed is a good place to start though. For kids, there are plenty of options. You can go with a twin or full size. They can have a platform bed with storage beneath, a loft, bunk beds, a racecar bed. There are many options! Go for broke with the bed, and economize with the nightstand and dressers because most kids don't worry about those so much as long as they are functional.
Loft beds are really useful, and save a lot of space. Most people discover loft beds in college, where they are frequently used to maximize usable space in dorm rooms. With a loft, the bed is raised and underneath you can have anything from a wardrobe to a desk to a futon or bookshelves. If you raise the bed, you suddenly have a lot more usable room.
The only real negative to a loft is the climbing up and down when you are tired. If you are sleepy it can be a pain to have to crawl on up to bed.
Still, loft beds are really very popular. In fact, some people like these beds so much that they still use this style after college.
You probably are familiar with your bed frame options. There are the standard headboards, but also sleigh beds, tufted beds, more modern bedframes, and so on.
It's easy to pick the material. Do you want metal or wood? Metal frames are available in various colors such as black, white, or brown. You can also get wood frames such as oak, pine, maple, or cherry.
You have the option of getting a matching dresser and nightstands, in the same material and color, if you choose. You can also go the opposite route, and get these pieces in a different material or finish to complement a more eclectic style.
