Kids Dressers

Personal Space Kids' rooms should offer safe surroundings with a fun and playful atmosphere. Theme bedrooms are popular, depicting characters or sports that interest specific age groups. Children are visual creatures with expanding and fickle interests and limited attention spans. Their rooms should reflect their personalities, not yours. These free-spirited collectors of the unusual need plenty of storage space to control clutter and disorder. Color Their World Allow children to partake in the design plans and selection of furnishings. Younger children may not understand style and quality, but choosing a toy chest, storage bench, or shelves with appeal might make picking up toys more favorable.

Function and charm should combine, but don't forget color. A kids dresser can have a wood-grain cabinet and colorful drawers; kids nightstands or bedside tables can take the shape of familiar toys for younger boys and girls, or they can be miniature two-drawer stained or painted wood chests that offer extra storage space.

The Storage Challenge
The furnishings of the room should grow with the child. Cute character themes and pink/blue motifs are fine for young children; older children prefer less animated furnishings. Kids dressers, wardrobes, and armoires are investments that can grow with the child. Subtly painted trims, stained woods, and mirrored doors are versatile and timeless. Select a homework or computer center that is not only kid-friendly, but also expandable with shelves for storage of books, CDs, and DVDs.

Remember that children need easy access to everything in their bedrooms. If you expect a six-year-old child to keep his room tidy, consider kids storage chests or kids lockers. The height of the dresser and shelves that you purchase is important. A first-grader who has to use a stepstool to reach the top drawer of his five-drawer dresser or the top shelves of bookcases will become frustrated and soon figure out that the most convenient place to store everything he needs is in the center of the bedroom floor.
