Choosing suitable furniture for ages 6-10

Bed and ergonomic sleeping area

Choosing a children's bed means first thinking about safety and adaptability. Here are the different types of beds you can find on the market:

  • Single bed, 90x190cm or 90x200
  • Convertible bed
  • Loft bed
  • Cabin bed
  • Bed with storage

To create a soothing sleeping area, opt for an adjustable-intensity night light and a proportionate nightstand. A warm shade (amber or orange) preserves sleep while providing reassurance. Regarding the furniture, its height should allow the child to reach their book or stuffed animal without effort.

How to arrange a room for a 6-year-old child?

At 6 years old, the child enters primary school, a period marked by new activities and needs. It's therefore essential that their room reflects this transition while remaining a place for play and relaxation.​

Choosing the bed

A suitable bed is essential. Convertible beds are ideal as they adjust to the child's growth, avoiding frequent replacements. For the more adventurous, a cabin bed can transform bedtime into a fun moment.​

A dedicated workspace

With the start of school, a desk area becomes essential. Choose a height-adjustable desk, accompanied by an ergonomic chair, to ensure proper posture during homework or creative activities.​​

Stimulating decoration

Bright colors and inspiring patterns can stimulate the child's imagination. However, it's advisable to choose soothing shades to promote rest. Involving the child in choosing the decoration can also strengthen their sense of belonging to this space.​

What furniture for a child's room aged 6 to 10?

Between 6 and 10 years old, needs evolve rapidly. It's therefore wise to choose modular and durable furniture.​

The bed

A loft or mid-height bed can free up floor space for a play area or desk. Make sure the bed is secure and appropriate for the child's age.​

The desk

A spacious desk with integrated storage spaces is essential for school and creative activities. Choose an adjustable model that adapts to the child's growth.​

Storage

Various storage solutions, such as dressers, shelves, or baskets, help keep the room tidy while being aesthetically pleasing. Involving the child in the organization can also help them develop a sense of responsibility.​

What practical storage solutions should you adopt in a child's room for ages 6 to 10? 

In a child's room, wall-mounted solutions like shelves or organizer stickers save space.

Naturally, organizing belongings by visual categories simplifies storage. Transparent boxes or white baskets identified with pictograms help younger children take ownership of the organization. Also think about usable walls: a wall-mounted clothes rack frees up floor space, while a magnetic board fixed to the wall centralizes drawings.

For small bedrooms, the bed with integrated drawers remains a safe bet. Our selection of convertible models offers several options in certified wood, perfect for combining design and functionality.

Solutions for compact bedrooms

Light shades become your allies in creating the illusion of more generous space. A white wall enhanced with animal wall stickers or glow-in-the-dark stars immediately creates a soothing atmosphere. Note that combination furniture is gaining popularity: desk-nightstand or bed with integrated wardrobe allow you to optimize every square meter.
