Stylish, Easy to Build Kiddie Bedroom Sets Ideas
Deciding which bedroom sets to purchase for your kids can be quite daunting. It is already confusing to choose among the seemingly endless alternatives. The process gets more complicated by the fact that your children will soon grow by who knows how many more inches in the near future. You cannot just buy them a king bed. That would certainly look off in the room of a 9-year old youngster regardless of the gender. In order to enlighten you in this dilemma, you will find in this article some ideas you would surely find handy. The following types of beds are not just stylish but easy to build, deconstruct and/or amend as well.
• Bookcase headboard -even if your kid wants another bedtime story or resents one, books will always be around and if so, it would be only wise to incorporate it into his bed. Not only this would save you some space and gets the sleeping quarter organized, there will also be the slightest chance that your kid's reading habits will improve. Headboards if such type of beds are extended to give space to the books. You can apply this plan to any kind of bed, whether it is queen, king or double. You can easily detach the extension if you deem it fit.
• Bunk bed -The popularity of such alternative has grown especially with families which parents look forward to a new addition. Looking at it from an economical point of view, it can be considered sound. The possibility of sharing a room is not least at all and retreating to this option is a great way to make the most out of your resources. However, if you will only mix it with little creativity and some carpentry skills, you will have more than what you can imagine. You can put a couple of mattress on top and another double that faces outward from the divider to floor. This way, you'd accommodate more.
• Canopy bed -because of its similarities with four posts bed's construction, it becomes more practical as you can get rid of the canopy and even the posts without much of a hassle if your kid will outgrow the bed. This type is very traditional. It has become classic and it never gets outdated. More often than not, it appeals to little girls who have always wanted to become a princess because of its association with royalty. The height of the posts varies depending on the sleeper or parent's preferences but usually, it doesn't get as high as eight feet.
• Kids bunk beds with slide -this alternative differs in a number of ways with the standard one. The biggest one of all is that it doesn't have a lower bed but the space is still used as well. Instead, the room for the lower level cot would be unique designs. For instance, it could be a mini tent complete with windows and doors in order to give you the look of a "real" camping tent. This will certainly be fun for a kid to have as he would be able to spend time with friends. If you are quite a handy man, it would be better as you can customize the unique furniture.
• Loft bed -this option is also being preferred by more and more kids and parents. This is because it has quite a few advantages. For one, it saves you the space as you can put in computer table, desks or even a study table in the lower bunk. The kid will sleep in the upper bunk. In addition, it gives the sleeper some privacy as because he'd be enclosed, he would have his own little world. Lastly, it can also become a good training ground for your kid to be quite responsible as the need to be more organized with stuffs has increased. Otherwise, he'd have no room to move.
• Captain's bed -this one is very much like platform beds but minus the box springs. The mattress is placed directly on top of the platform. Normally, it is higher so that there will be enough rooms for at least a couple of row of drawers below. Sometimes, a desk is being placed below. It saves space too and could easily be turned into bunk bed if need arises.
With these innovative ideas, flexibility will be certainly achieved and you will not be spending more as you wouldn't need to buy a bed every time.

Woodworking Plans For Beds - Build A Custom Bed
Creation of a custom bed does not need to be stressful for the woodworker because there are great woodworking plans for beds available online, in magazines and books. The main consideration to take into account is the space with which you have to work and the best materials to use when constructing the beds for someone. Extreme Home television shows have developed the construction of specialized beds to an art form by taking into consideration what the person using the bed likes. There is no need to go to that extreme of hanging a bed from the ceiling but it is certainly possible to build a nice bed with a canopy or specially crafted head and foot boards made from a wood that shows unique characteristics, like tiger oak or maple.
Beds are not only for sleeping but provide a great place to relax with a book or two. One nice touch to a handcrafted bed is built in shelves underneath or a bookcase headboard. These touches will help you make the best custom bed for a member of the family or if you are in business of making furniture for others, find a retailer to sell the beds to. Some of the beds custom-made for kids include storage and even a play or work area underneath, with a bunk bed on top.
Woodworking plans for beds can be fun and interesting when you consider all the possibilities and options that are available from making a toddler bed in the shape of a car or creating a bed inside a play area; to making a perfect bed that has places for books or a special place for a doll collection or toy storage area. Most of the free plans have measurements for different sizes of beds and additional add-on features such as a canopy or other fun ideas.
When planning to make the bed, take into account the room to work in and be sure to leave space for other furniture such as a dresser or nightstand, if needed. At some point the bed will need to be moved and this needs to be taken into account when building it, so be certain to make sure that you are able to do this when moving time comes around. One other feature is to make certain that there is a little room to maneuver the mattress around so the bed can be made up with sheets and blankets.
The materials you choose to make the bed from depend a great deal on what you would like to work with and the amount of money to spend. There are woodworker's plans for plain simple beds made with inexpensive materials and there are those where the wood is imported or very expensive. This is a good time to discuss the needs of the person you are making the bed for and their preferences.
If you are making a custom bed for someone who is physically challenged, you might need to check the woodworking plans again and make sure that they can be used or adapted to be easy for the person you are making it for to use. Find those plans or draw up your own and have fun making a high quality custom bed.

Master Bedroom - Place to Relax
The Basics...Bed
The first decision to make is the size of the bed. A small/medium sized room will look less cluttered with a queen-size bed. A king-size bed is apt for a large bedroom. Choose the design of the bed that you are comfortable with. Decide on a theme like traditional, formal or modern and shop accordingly. Wooden beds favor traditional or formal look. Stylish beds of wrought iron, brass or chrome make for a modern look. There are options like a four-poster bed, a platform bed (with or without headboards), a spindle bed (with ornate railings in the headboard and footboard) or a divan bed. If these sound mundane, indulge in a lascivious water bed.
Nightstand
Nightstands are smart and functional. Look out for nightstands that reinforce the style of the bed. It should be able to hold basics like a table lamp, clock and a few books. A nightstand with drawers can store some essentials that you might need for the night.
Dresser
A dresser usually comes with a storage option of four to six drawers. A chest of drawers can double up as a dresser with a mirror on it. Alternately, you can have a dressing table with a full-length mirror. If space is a constraint, you can mount an elegantly framed mirror, with built-in drawers, on the wall. The shutter of a cupboard can also be mounted with a mirror with shelves inside for storage.
Storage Units
One way to create an uncluttered look is to have plenty of storage options. If your master bedroom is large, place a wooden chest or a storage bench with upholstered seats at the end of the bed. They are functional and charming. Armoires look elegant and can be used to store clothes. Some have pull-out trays that can hold a computer or a television.
Built-in cupboards with lofts provide plenty of storage. The look of the cupboards can transform the room. Full length mirrors mounted in cupboard doors give an illusion of space. Or, the design on the headboard can be replicated in the shutters to unify the theme. Wooden shutters should match the color of the bed for uniformity. Cupboards with frosted glass shutters give a colorful look to the room.
Furnishings
Carpets, curtains (or blinds), bed linen and cushions must complement each other and brighten the room. Accessories like vases, family pictures, ornaments, wall hangings and paintings must reflect your personality. Just remember - less is more...
Color and Lighting
Usually, light colors are used in the bedroom. For interest, you could have a textured finish or a contrasting color on one of the walls. Natural light works wonders in here. Have a picture window or French doors for an impressive effect. Mood lighting, sconces on either side of the mirror, up lighters with dimmers, and table lamps are some lighting options for the master bedroom.
And More
A comfortable seating area is essential. If the bedroom is small, a corner is enough for a reading nook. A rocking chair or a pair of armchairs will be perfect. A large bedroom or an alcove can have a grander arrangement. Make sure to have a phone line and suitable power sockets for a phone, television, music system and to plug in your laptop. Wall mounting is a good option for the television, home theatre or the music system. Remember to conceal the wiring. An alcove or a small portion of a large bedroom can be converted into a walk-in closet. A writing table, and armchair and a bookcase arranged in one corner of the room can become a study or a place to work. The master bedroom is your sanctuary; make it a peaceful one.
