Children's room with bunk beds how to decorate it creatively?
Abunk bed is a piece of furniture with potential, which in a children's room can turn from a place to rest at night into a reading room and a centre for creative play. This multifunctional element can therefore significantly help to build an arrangement, regardless of whether you have a spacious or limited interior.
But how do you creatively furnish a room with a bunk bed so that the room is not only functional and safe, but also fulfils its purpose as the children grow older? The key is to choose the right furniture. Those in the Reli collection will work well for a seven-year-old as well as a teenager and even in a young adult's room. The variety of pieces available allows the furnishings to be tailored to individual needs and the size of the room. With the help of Rela, we can easily arrange every part of the room, and the universal base in alabaster white will provide the perfect backdrop for any changing vision.
HOW TO ARRANGE A BUNK BED IN A CHILD'S ROOM?
A small room with a bunk bed doesn't have to feel cramped and cluttered at all. By making clever use of the vertical space, we can conjure up an interior that is both functional and cosy. Thanks to its clever design, the Reli bunk bed not only provides two comfortable places to sleep. It also offers the potential for additional space that can be adapted in many ways, especially in the area under the lower bed.
When arranging a children's room with a bunk bed, focus on separating the sleeping, study and play zones. The lower level of the bed can function as a rest or play area, while the upper level can become a bedroom. To separate the two spaces, use themed bedding (or choose bedding in different colours) or accessories such as a reading lamp and favourite teddy bears. A handy rail will work well as a hanger for a soft blanket or a textile organiser for various activities.
When arranging a small room with a bunk bed, every centimetre counts. That is why it is worth reaching for solutions that offer additional functionality, such as a pull-out drawer that allows you to keep things tidy without taking up valuable space. Its capacity makes it easy to store bedding, but it can also be used as a container for blocks, teddy bears and other treasures. When playtime is over, a quick tidy-up becomes child's play and the floor remains free.

IS A BUNK BED SAFE FOR CHILDREN?
The modern bunk beds available in the VOX shop are designed with the safety of the youngest users in mind. Therefore, they are characterised by a strong, stable construction, a secure ladder and high safety features on the upper level. The Reli bunk bed also has a practical handrail, which makes climbing onto the upper bed even easier and safer. Safety is also ensured by the rounded edges of the furniture. Each model comes with clear step-by-step assembly instructions, making it easy to assemble the bed yourself.
FROM WHAT AGE CAN A CHILD SLEEP IN A BUNK BED?
Children can only begin their adventure with a bunk bed when they have reached the right maturity and motor coordination. This is usually around the age of 6. It is important that your child is able to climb up and down the ladder independently and safely and understands the safety rules associated with the use of the upper bed.
Smaller children can benefit from other imaginative beds that, like the bunk beds, will enable the creation of a base or play centre. A clever solution could be the Spot Young bed. By adding a mobile Tipi trolley to it, you can easily transform the sleeping area into a cosy base that stimulates children's imagination and encourages creative play. The original canopy bed, which can be decorated with a light curtain or lamps, will also help to create an intimate atmosphere.
CHOOSE OTHER FURNISHINGS
Although a bunk bed will take up the most space in a child's room, let's also remember to create a functional and inspiring learning space. The focal point of such an area is, of course, a desk and an ergonomic chair. The Reli pull-out desk, thanks to its compact size, is suitable for both younger and older children. When folded, the desk only takes up 52 cm, but when extended, it can accommodate all necessary learning materials: books, notebooks, laptop and lamp. An additional shelf underneath the top provides practical storage for small items, so the top can remain tidy and ready for use.
A cabinet for books and textbooks is also an important element of the study area. A pedestal with shelves will make it easier to store school supplies, documents or other accessories. The learning zone can be complemented with Reli wall shelves, where our child can display their favourite books, diplomas or gadgets.
In every child's room, regardless of their age, well-organised storage space for clothes is also important. The Reli wardrobe offers a variety of solutions to help keep things tidy from an early age. The hanger rail can accommodate jackets, blouses or smart shirts, while the spacious shelves easily accommodate stacked trousers and T-shirts. In the lower part of the wardrobe there are drawers and round recesses, which can be used for storing boxes of accessories, shoes or other small items. By deciding on the number and positioning of the characteristic fronts with round cut-outs, we can completely change the look of the furniture and easily adapt it to the changing needs and interests of the child.
A ROOM WITH A BUNK BED FOR SIBLINGS
A bunk bed is the ideal solution especially for a sibling room. The vertical furniture saves space and creates its own cosy space for each occupant. If we have two individuals in the house, let's bet on different accessories to help distinguish the zones. We can also choose wardrobes and bookcases in different shades, creating a cohesive yet individualised arrangement. Just the interior or body of one piece of furniture should be grey, oak or indigo.
It is worth remembering that the Reli bunk bed can be unfolded into two single beds with a sleeping surface of 90x200 cm. This solution will prove most practical when the little ones grow up and want to have separate resting areas.
A BUNK BED FOR SPECIAL TASKS - A SOLUTION FOR THE SMALLEST INTERIORS
Small rooms deserve special attention. In a small room, therefore, the Spot Young bunk bed, which is not only a place to sleep but also a real command centre, will work well! Underneath the raised bed you will find cupboards and four roomy, quietly running drawers. The pull-out storage compartments are surrounded by a number of open recesses where toys, books or clothes can be stored.
The interior of this piece of furniture conceals four capacious shelves, the contents of which remain discreetly concealed. This is ideal for less frequently used items, such as seasonal clothing or sports equipment. Additionally, we can purchase movable hangers to create a practical pull-out wardrobe. Not having an additional wardrobe really saves the most space!
