How to organize a children's room with a loft bed?
With their distinctive raised structure, high sleepers stand out as a versatile way to make the most of the space and add a decorative touch to any bedroom. A long-standing classic in children's rooms, they can also fit elegantly into the decoration of a teenager's room.
In this article, we'll look at the best tips for setting up a bedroom with a high sleeper, from design options to ideas for maximising storage space.
How to organise the space under a high sleeper
In a child's or teenager's room, a high sleeper frees up as much space as possible so you can put it to the best use. Here are some ideas for making the most of your ceiling height.
Maximise storage: A high sleeper is an excellent choice if you have a generous ceiling height. You can fit shelves under the bed to add extra storage and to decorate the room too. Go for neutral tones such as white or wood for an elegant look. At Muba we offer 18 premium colours to choose from.
Set up a study space: Another interesting option is to create a study area under the high sleeper. It can come in handy for homework or creative activities. Turn this space under the bed into a cosier nook by hanging a curtain. Think about adding a desk and a comfortable chair to create a practical, attractive study area.
Create a play area: Having a raised bed in a child's room opens up all sorts of design possibilities. A popular idea is to create a play area underneath the bed. You can mark out this area on the floor with a rug and use a few boxes to organise your children's toys.
Furnish the bedroom with a children's high sleeper with a built-in desk
A high sleeper with a built-in desk is a versatile piece of furniture that gives you a workspace and a comfortable place to sleep all in one. Making the best use of the space under the bed, it creates a practical study corner in the room. This type of high sleeper is ideal for young children and teenagers alike.
Muba's high sleeper with its built-in desk will be the perfect companion as your child grows. The desk is designed to suit children of different ages, at the right height for even a taller child to work comfortably.
For younger children, simply use a height-adjustable desk chair. And of course you can add a bed underneath, perfect for having another child to stay.
What lighting should you choose for a bedroom with a high sleeper?
The raised level and the space underneath get less natural light than the rest of the room, which is why choosing the right lighting matters so much.
Opting for soft, dim lighting in a bedroom with a high sleeper can leave the space between the ceiling and the bed too dark, making things like reading in bed difficult. At the same time, it's important to avoid hanging lamps, which could cause accidents or be unsuitable for a child's sleeping area.
To make sure the lighting is right and create a cosy atmosphere, we recommend using ambient lamps. Spread them across three strategic points in the room: on the ceiling, at mid-height and at a low level.
You can also make use of mirrors, which reflect light and add an extra decorative touch to the space. Consider adding LED lighting under the raised level too, such as LED strips, for lighting that is both practical and attractive.
At Muba, you'll find the decoration that best suits your taste and needs. We hope this article has inspired you and shown you how to organise a bedroom with a high sleeper. We look forward to seeing you!
