How To Choose Fun Kids' Furniture!

Choosing kids' furniture means not only choosing pieces that can grow with your children, but also choosing pieces they like. Most children want fun kids' furniture: beds shaped like sports cars or chairs shaped like the crown of a princess. While this type of furniture is exciting for awhile, your child may grow out of it quickly. Instead, try to find interesting pieces of furniture that will last as your child's tastes change. Below, you'll learn how to choose fun kids' furniture.

Choosing Fun Kids' Furniture:

1. 
   
   Choose quality pieces. Although a plastic bed might be cute, it is still plastic and probably won't last for very long. Instead select a wood or metal bed.
2. Define what is most important about the furniture. For example, while a bed shaped like a pirate ship might be fun, it might also be too narrow. Instead, choose a bunk bed, which is also entertaining but not too narrow, and fly a pirate flag from the top of it.
3. Compromise on the fun factor. If your son thinks that a desk shaped like a soccer ball is fun, point out that you would like to get him a more functional desk instead. Pair the desk with a cute chair shaped like a soccer ball.
4. Look for pieces you can customize. A dresser might not seem all that exciting at first, but if you purchase one with knobs, you can easily replace those knobs with custom knobs shaped like basketballs or hearts. A canopy or bed skirt is also a great way to add excitement to a little girl's room.
5. Look for transformable furniture. Purchase furniture that can transform, such as a trundle bed or a desk that folds up. Not only is this type of furniture practical; most children will think it is a lot of fun as well.
