Check out my article, design inspiration for siblings sharing a bedroom, for a few tips and ideas. If your children are room sharing, you may be limited by space when selecting the size of their beds. As much as your teen may want a double bed, if it means that they have to adopt moves like Spiderman to navigate their bedroom, it may not be the most practical size bed! Room planning is a bit like playing Tetris! Make sure you get all your measurements first before you set out looking for a new bed.
The size of your child’s room is another determining factor when choosing what size bed to buy and may even rule out certain beds. As children get older their needs change for example younger children generally spend more time playing, so floor space is often more important that a lovely large bed to lounge around in! On the contrary, older children may spend more time lounging (and sleeping!) therefore a spacious bed may become more important. The age of your child will largely determine the size of bed that you decide to buy. However, we still want to make sensible decisions around our child’s furniture needs so it’s hardly surprising that parents frequently ask me, what is the right size bed for my child? Great question, and this week I’m going to help answer it, with various bed sizes available, so ta-da, here’s the low down on which bed size could be most appropriate for your child.ĭetermining the right size for your child’s bed will depend on a few factors: Thankfully children’s bedroom furniture is considerably more forgiving than their clothes and doesn’t require updating quite so often. Can you imagine how much more they’d grow if they were planted in grow bags! Maybe I’ve been spending too much time with my tomatoes! I’ve concluded that my new footwear of choice will consist of stilettos and giant wedges, far more practical than shlepping a step stool around 24/7.Īccording to the Child Growth Foundation the average child will grow 89cm from the age 1-18! The most rapid growth is seen between the age of 1-6 years, where they grow on average 41cm. I’m undecided how I feel about it all, a smidge unnerved… perhaps resigning myself to the fact that I will soon become the smallest member of my family. A dead giveaway is when their trousers wave goodbye to their shoes and head towards their knees (although I’m told this is hip, along with socks and sliders… and we thought 80’s fashion was bad!) and their cuffs are eeking a little too far up their arms!Īnother stark realisation that your kids are growing up is when they look you square on in the eyes, without the need to clamber precariously onto a hop up, I’m talking about when they simply stand in front of you, eye balling you head on. Just when you thought your kids had stopped growing, they go and have another spurt.
