What materials are kids’ furniture items made from?

In Australia, solid wood is a common material, as the aesthetic of wood goes with most children’s rooms and play areas. Many items of kids’ furniture are made using veneers over a cheaper core material below. Whilst this does sacrifice some quality, since kids grow up quickly, kids’ furniture doesn’t necessarily have to last as long as other types of furniture. Plastic furniture is also common for tables and chairs for children and can be particularly colourful.

What are some common safety features of kids’ furniture?

Most kids' furniture will have no sharp edges, ensuring children can play safely around it. Furniture can be strapped to the wall to prevent it from falling upon children who might climb up it. The bars on cribs are an essential safety feature, stopping babies from crawling or walking over the edge of their bedding.

How long should kids’ furniture last?

All furniture for children should be designed to last for as long as a child is still in the appropriate age range for that piece of furniture. This is generally a minimum of six years, but high-quality kids’ furniture can last much longer.

Girl’s bedroom

Furniture items and kids’ beds for girls’ bedrooms are usually light in colour and sometimes slightly whimsical. They tend to be toned and styled to go well with a white interior, which is popular in girls’ bedrooms.

Boy’s bedroom

Furniture items and kids’ beds for boys’ bedrooms are commonly designed to be darker and to go with the richer, deeper colours that are popular in boys’ rooms in Australia.

Kids bookcases and storage

Kids bookcases and storage units are essential furniture pieces that not only encourage a love for reading by showcasing their favorite books but also help maintain a clutter-free environment by neatly organizing toys and belongings.

Nursery

Thanks to their raised sides, cribs provide excellent security for babies who are crawling or beginning to stand up. A changing table will be necessary if you have a newborn in the house, and ArchiPro has several options available.

Outdoor

Outdoor tables and chairs for kids allow them to entertain themselves comfortably in an outdoor setting. These will be made with children's activities in mind and will be designed for comfort and durability.

The advantages of high-quality kids’ furniture and bedding

Furniture specifically for children helps them feel they have their own space that is truly just for them. High-quality children’ furniture will be designed with their smaller stature in mind. For example, in terms of kids’ bedding, an adult-sized bed won’t be easy for every child to climb onto, however, a bed that’s lower to the ground may be just right. Kids mattresses are different sizes depending on the age of the child, which is also important. Kids bedside tables are also lower so they can be easily used by children, kids tables and chairs are also adapted to children. Children’ bedroom furniture that is high-quality will be designed for the wear and tear of children's play, have no sharp edges, and possibly have additional safety features.

How to choose the kids’ furniture and bedding that’s right for you

If your child or children are old enough, it can be a good idea to get them involved in the process of selecting their furniture. This can help them feel that the furniture or bedding is truly theirs, encouraging a healthy home environment. If furniture of different sizes is available, err on the side of purchasing items that are larger rather than smaller, relative to your children. This will ensure the furniture gets decent longevity as they grow.
