Loft bed: the best solution for a teenager's room?

Categories: Teen/Adult Room

Furnishing a teenager's room is not always easy, especially when space is limited in the room. Indeed, teenagers need a bed, but also a space to work, another to relax... Therefore, it's up to the parents to be ingenious to create a space suitable for their teenager. In this sense, the loft bed can be an excellent choice.

What is a loft bed?

A loft bed is a raised bed. A bit like a bunk bed where the bottom bunk has been removed. Therefore, it is a high bed accessible by a ladder that leaves a nice space available under the bed frame. We can talk about children's loft beds as well as teenage ones, but loft beds often have the same dimensions, either 90x190 cm or 90x200 cm.

The single loft bed is therefore a piece of furniture with a very particular shape. There are also more complete versions such as the loft bed with desk. The children's loft bed can therefore take various forms depending on the chosen model.

Why choose it in a teenager's room?

The main advantage of the loft bed is the space it saves. Indeed, the elevated position of the sleeping area allows for a large space underneath to install a sofa, a desk, a storage unit, etc. Thus, this type of furniture is perfectly suitable in a small room.

So, if your teenager's room doesn't seem very spacious to you, opting for a loft bed like our khaki & wood Landes loft bed will be a very ingenious way to furnish the room.

What age for a loft bed?

More than in a teenager's room, the loft bed can be installed in a child's room. However, be careful, this type of bed can only be used from the age of 6 years old. Before that, using the ladder to reach the mattress represents too great a risk of falling. If you want to opt for this type of bed before adolescence, you will need to ensure that your child is at least 6 years old to be able to use it.

Moreover, it is often recommended to secure the loft bed to the wall for even more safety.

How to arrange a room with a loft bed?

Once the loft bed is installed in your teenager's room, all you have to do is furnish the rest of the room.

A desk for quiet studying

In a teenager's room, the presence of a desk to do homework and study quietly is often essential. Thanks to the use of the loft bed, you have the possibility to install a desk even in a very small room. Your teenager will thus be able to do their homework, but also read, draw, or use their computer or tablet, for example.

To create a pleasant space, make sure to opt for a comfortable office chair or even the presence of a desk lamp, for example.

A sofa to relax after coming home from school

To furnish the space under the loft bed, you also have the option of installing a comfortable sofa. This is a space that your teenager will appreciate using to play video games or read, for example. It's also a perfect space for having friends over and sitting comfortably.

Storage furniture

If you lack storage in the room, the space under the loft bed can also be used for this purpose. Adding a dresser, for example, will allow for easy storage of clothes and accessories. Indeed, if you want your teenager's room to remain pleasant, it is essential to have storage furniture adapted to the volume of items to be stored.

The details that make a difference in a teenager's room

For your teenager to feel at home, several details can make a difference and will allow them to feel good in their room.

A coat of paint on
the walls

What better way to mark this change of atmosphere than to give a new color to the walls? Indeed, installing a new bed in your teenager's room is a good idea to mark this new stage, but opting for a decoration more in line with their age will also be appreciated. Suggest that they repaint the entire room according to their wishes, it can even be an opportunity to share this moment together.

Decoration according to their tastes

While baby and children's rooms are often decorated according to the parents' tastes, teenagers already have their preferences in terms of style and their own desires. Suggest to your teenager to make the changes they want by choosing, for example, posters to hang on the wall, new bedding, and decorative objects according to their tastes. It's an opportunity for them to create a universe that suits them so they feel good in the room.

Essential elements for a cozy room

Finally, make sure the room keeps its comfortable and cozy side by adding essential elements such as a reading lamp, curtains, or even a few cushions, for example. These small details will create an even warmer atmosphere and your teenager will appreciate their presence.
