Sprucing up a bedroom and bunk beds for girls is fun. Most of the time, everyone in the family will pitch in their own ideas for it. Even the male members of the family will be obliged to join in what would turn out to be family project instead of an endeavor reserved for just the girls. This would be a good development because then, you’d have no shortage of assistants to help you work on it. But first, you’d have to come up with a design that will delight the bedroom’s occupants and ensure their safety.
Make it Look Like a Meadow
Many little girls would appreciate having their girls bunk beds designed to look like a meadow. Painting the top bunk to represent the blue sky is easy. Details to match it include some fluffy white clouds and the yellow sun. Using stencils to paint it on ensures that you’ll commit minimal errors if any. You also have the option of using stickers for it to make the job easier. The lower bunk could be painted brown to represent the ground. On it, you can again add details like plants, grass and flowers with the occasional butterfly hovering over them. Post and guardrails could be painted on with a few blooms. You can use garlands of synthetic flowers but it can pose some safety problems. Putting it too near the ladder or too low can make the child trip as she goes up the top bunk.
If You Fancy Sleeping on Stranger Tides
A girl bunk bed can be designed with a mermaid design. Paints in blue, orange, yellow and green should be enough to let you create a backdrop for two mermaids swimming side by side. The posts, bed frame and guardrails should be painted blue with yellow and orange fishes to break its monotony and to make it more attractive. Seaweed, coral and shell designs can be painted on the legs of the bunk bed. Blue and green colored comforters will complete the bunk bed’s look. Your daughters will then get the opportunity to act as the mermaids. This design works best with an ocean themed bedroom and as long as you don’t put anything for them to trip on, it’s completely safe.
Make Me a Princess
One of the most popular designs for bunk beds for girls is a fairytale castle. Its timeless appeal has convinced bed bunk manufacturers that providing medieval turrets, arches and spiral staircases deserves a line all its own. Designing your girls’ bunk bed using this theme could be a big project as there are many available ready made fixtures that can be bought to make it as elaborate as possible. To make it safe for your girls’ use, avoid putting accents that will pose a danger to them. Arches and garlands can hamper movement. Staircases which will take the place of the ladder should be sturdy and should not be hard to climb nor slippery.
While it’s fun decorating bunk beds for girls, parents should always prioritize safety. Avoid decorations that can pose as a hazard. See to it that the bunk beds you buy follow the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s guidelines for bunk bed safety and always check for broken parts that need to be replaced to avoid accidents.
