A bed for your child is one of those typical expenses you have to sit down and think about. It's expensive, you want to enjoy it for years and your child has to like it. And that's quite a challenge: what is a dream for your toddler today, may suddenly be too childish tomorrow. So are you looking for a middle ground? One that is fun for children, tough enough for teenagers and strong enough to pass on to a nephew, neighbour or thrift store fortune hunter? Then consider a scaffoldwood bed!
Why a scaffoldwood bed is ideal for the nursery
In partnership with VanLondon.com
A bed in the nursery needs to come from good stock. A bed made of scaffolding wood is then a smart choice. Think of a loft bed with desk or sitting area underneath: today a play area, tomorrow a chill spot for homework or gaming. Thanks to the neutral grey shade matches the wood with all the colours kids love - from rainbow to black and white - as well as the calm style of a teenager's room. That way, the bed simply grows with your child, without you having to buy something new every time.
What makes scaffolding wood a more sustainable choice?
Scaffold wood is not only cool to look at, it is also a practical and sustainable material for children's furniture. After all, the wood has already had a life as a building material before furniture makers start working with it. Circular and extremely strong. Your child can jump, play and build on it without fear of damage. Because the wood is reused, no new trees have to be felled. And if you choose a solidly made bed, you can easily resell it after use or give it away to someone else. So you give the bed another life - just what we like.
The colour is also a plus. By itself, scaffold wood has a beautiful, lived-in greyish look that combines with everything. Bright yellow wallpaper? No problem. Pastel accessories? Also good. Even if your child suddenly wants everything black, the bed will still fit perfectly. And because the wood is easy to work with, all sorts of creative beds can be made from it. From basic to with built-in desk, sitting area or storage space: multifunctional and space-saving. Or go for a real eye-catcher in the form of a scaffoldwood vide - Ideal if your child wants both a private play area and a place to sleep in a few square metres.
You can design a scaffold bed completely the way you want it, to suit the space.
Is a scaffold bed worth the investment?
At first glance, a scaffoldwood bed might seem a bit more expensive than a standard one from the big furniture shop. But consider this: because the bed lasts for years and grows with your child, you don't need to buy something new every few years. And do you choose a loft bed with a built-in wardrobe or desk? Then you immediately need less loose furniture. Count the difference. Especially in a compact room, such an all-in-one piece of furniture is worth its weight in gold.
