Categories: Decoration Inspiration

In children's rooms as in the rest of the house, decoration trends evolve over the years to constantly renew themselves and create increasingly modern and pleasant interiors. At the heart of your child's room is their bed, of course. But what are the 2024 trends in children's beds? What criteria should be considered when choosing the right furniture? Discover all our advice!

The importance of choosing the right bed for your child

More than just a decorative element, your child's bed is where they will spend all their nights for many years. Indeed, it's better to opt for a model that will suit both younger children and teenagers to save money and choose the most sustainable solution possible. When the child is young, their bed should be a pleasant and reassuring cocoon where they will enjoy nestling every evening. It must also be spacious enough to accommodate their growth and comfortable over time.

Therefore, quality is the key word when choosing your child's bed. Choose furniture offered by a specialist furniture brand, or even children's furniture brand. Also favor made in France products which often allow you to opt for a quality product.

Safety: furniture fully compliant with current standards

Compliance with current standards is essential, regardless of the product you decide to buy for your child. This is also true when it comes to choosing furniture like a bed. To ensure that the chosen furniture has been manufactured in compliance with standards established in France and Europe, make sure to order from a French website. Furthermore, it is essential that the chosen furniture has the "CE" marking; without it, you're taking a real risk for your child's well-being. If in doubt, it's better to move on and choose another model.

Prefer to turn to online shops that are in French, well-referenced on Google, known to the public, with reviews and a well-designed website. These are all signs that will help you ensure you're dealing with a trustworthy seller.

Eco-responsibility and well-being: carefully selected materials

Beyond manufacturing quality, it's also the chosen materials that will make all the difference for your child's bed. Indeed, certain materials will be more respectful of the environment as well as your child's well-being. Therefore, we recommend prioritizing:

  • Solid wood, preferably PEFC or FSC certified (from sustainably managed forests)
  • Low formaldehyde panels (to limit the presence of formaldehyde)
  • Solvent-free paints and varnishes (also to limit VOC presence)

If you're concerned about the environmental impact of this future purchase, prefer local manufacturing as much as possible.

Design: wood, color and smart format

Once you're assured of the quality and eco-friendly nature of your furniture, you can focus on the most fun part: the design. This year, there's no shortage of new items and inspiration for creating the ideal children's room.

Wood, a sure value

Regardless of the era, wood remains forever a sure value, particularly for manufacturing children's furniture. Healthy, robust and durable, it also offers a multitude of style possibilities. Therefore, prefer to opt for wooden furniture, if possible solid wood for your child's bed.

Colors that change

Beyond natural and neutral colors (wood, white, gray, beige or even black), you can absolutely make a bolder choice in your child's room. In 2024, midnight blue is one of the major trends. Softer than black, it's just as easy to match and adds color in a subtle and elegant way to the room. You can, for example, discover our OPUS midnight blue trundle bed with storage.

At Pantone, the color of the year 2024 is "Peach Fuzz". It's a warm and soft peach orange that will also be perfect in a child's room. This color indeed expresses softness while being particularly soothing and radiant

A smart format

Finally, your choice of children's bed should focus on a smart format adapted to the room. One example is the trundle bed. A 90x190 trundle bed is a classic single bed with a second bed under the base that can be pulled out using a drawer system. The children's trundle bed is perfect for having friends or cousins sleep over.

It is now possible to find trundle beds in many stores. You can even opt for a trundle bed with storage. In fact, for a 90x200 trundle bed, we can also definitely talk about an adult trundle bed. This solution will therefore suit both children and teenagers. Its durability over time will depend on the maintenance given to the trundle bed.

Beyond the trundle bed, there are other smart formats for your child's bed such as the convertible bed, the loft bed, the bed with storage, etc.
