Craft a bedroom that serves your little one’s needs and is a place they won’t want to leave. With all the furniture choices and styles, it can be overwhelming and time-consuming to curate the perfect room for your little one. But rest assured, we have a solution. Rather than hand-selecting individual pieces of furniture, save time with a kid’s bedroom set.
A one-stop shop for your kid’s bedroom furniture needs, sets are the perfect option when you only have time to focus on making one purchase. For more on the different types of sets, styles, and configurations, explore this guide.
There are a few steps you should take before diving into your search for a bedroom furniture set.
1.
Measure the Room
The size of the room determines how you can arrange furniture and which sizes to choose. Measure the space before starting your search to ensure you know which bed size, storage pieces, and decorations to choose. Too many pieces make a small room feel cluttered, while too few leave the space incomplete.
Key measurements to write down:
- Width of the door frame
- Height of any windowsills
- Height of the ceiling and any overhead lighting
- Length of each wall — note any unusual angles or corners
2.
Choose Bed Style
Every bedroom setup should revolve around a good night’s sleep, so consider sleeping arrangements first. The size of the bed determines the rest of the furniture and the room layout.
If you envision a room for multiple sleepers, bunk beds and trundle bedroom sets are available to accommodate multiple children. Choose a full or queen bed set up if you want a set that lasts through your child’s teen years, or save space and choose a simple twin bed set up.
3.
Consider Room for Additional Furniture
Standard kid’s bedroom sets come with a dresser and nightstand . Ensure there is enough space for extra furniture before you purchase.
Measure the space between the edge of the bed and the walls to ensure there’s enough space for a nightstand, and make sure there is enough space to pull out a dresser drawer or open an armoire without running into the edge of the bed.
4.
Identify Storage Needs
Children’s rooms have a lot of storage needs, whether it’s seasonal clothing, a library of books, or a collection of stuffed animals. You’re likely in the market for as much storage as your space can handle.
Refer to the room measurements and look for sets that include extra dressers, bookcases, or storage trunks. If you don’t have the extra space for furniture, consider floating shelves or hanging storage solutions.
What’s Included in a Bedroom Set?
A standard kids' bedroom set includes a bed, a nightstand, and a dresser. If you’re looking to scale your purchase to include extra storage or accessories, browse expanded sets.
Remember, you need to buy a mattress separately, so note the bed frame size in your set.
Two-Piece Set
Two-piece sets come with a bed and a nightstand, although some include a bench or trunk instead of the nightstand. Two-piece sets are ideal for upgrading a toddler’s room.
Three-Piece Set
These sets include a bed, a nightstand, and a chest of drawers. Three-piece sets are ideal for a room with limited closet space but enough space for extra storage.
Four-Piece Set
Four-piece sets are ideal for a room with extra wall space. These sets include a bed, nightstand, chest of drawers, and a mirror that turns the dresser into a vanity.
Five-Piece Set
Five-piece sets include a bed, nightstand, chest of drawers, mirrors, and an additional matching chest. These large sets are ideal for rooms that have extra space for storage.
Six-Piece Set
A six-piece set comes with a bed, nightstand, dresser, chest, and mirror, plus a bookshelf, armoire, or desk. It's an investment, but you reap the benefits of a fully furnished space.
Furniture Materials
Kids' bedroom sets are crafted from materials that work with your style and budget. Synthetic composite materials like particle boards or medium-density fibers are cost-effective, lightweight options.
For bedroom sets that need to endure a few growth spurts, consider a material like solid wood that can rise to the occasion — but expect a premium price point.
