We move the children to the nursery, we planned to buy a ready-made bed first, but could not choose until we came across an online store with cottage beds. I caught fire like this, but it's expensive to buy (from 50k), and taking into account my nuances I decided to do it myself. Everything was bought in Leroy, for a price everything came out about 10,000r (+8,000 for a trimmer and a grinder). Net time 7 days.

The project was drawn in visio. I did the cutting and polishing in the apartment without repair, I assembled and painted houses. Acrylic paint on water, almost does not smell. Assembling for confirmation, then covered with facades on furniture bolts. All holes were putty and painted. Colored colors for colored planks.
In total, if there is a time and a place, it is not very difficult. The children are happy, they moved with pleasure :)

We begin to assemble the tool table. From tools: trimming, eccentric grinder, hand milling cutter, hand saw, square, 4 small clamps, screwdriver, also known as a drill.

Homemade milling table... Fraser borrowed it. The table is old for renovation, not a pity.
In general, all the boards were with a factory rounding - a chamfer. But there are no bars, I had to chamfer this way.

Trimming thing!

The ladder was made specially from the inside so that it did not take up space in the room, there is not much of it. The size of the upper berth is 90x160. From the new I discovered that it is extremely easy to make a children's ladder, a bar, a feather and a round profile on PVA.

The caps of the screws were then puttyed and painted separately, so that in the final all the rules.

Finale - the back wall of 12mm plywood is covered with wallpaper. Ikea shelves have been waiting in the wings for a long time. The backlight is temporary (for a long time), I will finish it. You can sit on the bed like on a sofa, only put more pillows.

DIY children's bed: drawings, photos, material of manufacture

It is difficult to overestimate the importance of adequate sleep for a child's health. Therefore, it is so important to get a comfortable and safe bed. By the way, it is not necessary to buy furniture for arranging a children's bedroom, because you can assemble it yourself. Read on to learn how to do it right.

Baby cot elements

Before we start making a baby bed, let's decide what distinguishes it from its adult counterparts. Among the distinctive features:

• Dimensions... Mattresses for cribs are shorter and already adult analogues (see table standard sizes sleeping mattresses).
• Number and location of berths... The bed in children's furniture is not made double, more often these are single structures. If you need to accommodate two children, the building is going to be in two tiers.
• Operational safety... High-quality furniture for a children's room has no sharp corners and traumatic parts.
• Decoration... Furniture for a child's room should be fun and visually attractive for a child.

Let's summarize the points listed. A children's bed is made of the same elements as adult counterparts, that is, it uses a supporting frame around the perimeter, mattress holder lamellas, mattress, etc. But, all these elements have smaller dimensions, are made of environmentally friendly materials.

Elements in the construction of children's furniture are rounded at the corners and painted in bright colors. An important point is that to ensure safety, high sides are used in the design of most children's beds. The use of such elements is mandatory in cots for children under the age of 3 years.

Determining the model

The choice of the design of a child's bed determines:

• Children's age... The size of the bed depends on the age - the older the child, the larger the bed.
• Amount of children... A single-tier bed is built for one child, and as the number of children increases, the number of tiers increases.
• Baby gender... The gender of the child affects decorative design furniture.
• Features of the room... In a spacious nursery, several single-tier beds can be installed, and in a cramped room, the structure is built in several tiers.
• Project's budget... Material possibilities determine what materials it will be possible to assemble furniture from.

Basic details of wooden beds

The design of a single-tier children's bed consists of a supporting frame, which is assembled from boards and surrounds the product around the perimeter. At the corners of the supporting frame there are vertical supports that function as legs and as side holders.

In the upper part of the supports there are horizontal boards - sides. Bumpers for older children are installed on three sides of the bed, and for younger children on four.

Slats are fixed along the inner perimeter of the frame, on which the mattress will be held. The bottom of the bed provides free space, which contains boxes for storing linen and bedding.

Design bunk bed repeats the design of a single-tier structure with the difference that two beds are held on the same supports. In order to make it easy to climb to the second tier, a ladder is used in the construction. To ensure safety, the side of the second tier is located on four sides.

Materials

Illustrations	Materials and their description
	Solid wood lumber... Boards, beams, furniture boards are all-wood environmentally friendly materials, which I primarily recommend for assembling children's furniture.
	Metal... Children's beds can be assembled from rolled metal, provided that the welds are neat.
	Particle board (Chipboard). Particle board is not the best option in terms of environmental safety. But because of affordable price Chipboard is the most popular and demanded material to this day.
	Oriented strand board (OSB)... From the point of view of environmental safety, OSB is worse than chipboard, since the formaldehyde content in these boards is higher. If OSB is used for the manufacture of furniture, then on condition that the surface is covered with several continuous layers of varnish.
	Fiberboard - auxiliary material... Fiberboard (Fibreboard) is used as a structural material with which drawers are lined from below or a bed is covered on top.

About fasteners

If you make a bed of lumber or particle boards, you will need confirmations for fasteners - universal fasteners in the form of screws with an increased thread pitch. In order to ensure greater strength for fastening to confirmations, dowels can be used - wooden chops that are driven into pre-drilled holes.

You will also need L-shaped corner perforated plates and self-tapping screws to fix them.

On sale presented corner mounts ordinary and reinforced with kerchiefs on the fold, as shown in the photo. When choosing, we give preference to reinforced plates, as they are stronger and more reliable.

About fittings

A children's bed is a simple structure, where the list of special accessories is limited to guides for folding the front wall, a pendulum mechanism for rocker cradles, etc. When self-assembly you can restrict yourself to casters for drawers, as well as hinges and latches for a hinged front wall.

Required tool

The choice of tool depends on what the furniture will be assembled from. To work with lumber, you need a basic set of carpentry equipment, including a drill, a screwdriver, a jigsaw, a router, a 5 mm hex wrench, measuring tool... You will also need free space where you can cut necessary details and then put them together.

Wooden bed

After we have decided on the choice of materials, fastening hardware and accessories, we will consider how to assemble wooden furniture for a children's room with our own hands. As an example, I propose the assembly instructions for the typical bunk bed shown in the drawing.

The structure, assembled according to the proposed scheme, is durable, neat and at the same time budgetary in terms of materials. The most important thing is that such a bed is easy to make yourself, even if this is the first time such work is done.

Illustrations	Making a crib with boxes
	Materials and tools... To assemble this bed, you need pine or beech boards with a cross section of 35 × 100 mm and 25 × 100 mm. For wood processing you will need miter saw, milling cutter, drill, key for confirms, screwdriver.
	We cut out the details... From a 35 × 100 board, we cut 4 blanks 1900 mm long, 4 blanks 1810 mm long and 4 blanks 800 mm long. On workpieces with a length of 1810 mm, we make grooves 35 × 100 mm as shown in the photo.
	We make legs (supports). As shown in the photo, in the grooves of the vertical supports, we fasten the transverse beams, which will be the headboard and foot of the bed on the upper and lower tier.
	Assembling the bed and installing the stairs... After the end nodes of the bed are ready, we attach the longitudinal boards to the safety barriers. In the inner perimeter of the upper and lower beds, we install slats - mattress holders. We assemble a ladder from a board and a rounded bar, if there is no round bar, a step can be made from a board.
	Installation of facades drawers ... We collect the boxes from the board as a rectangular frame, at the bottom of which the bottom is fixed. For convenience and safety of operation, drawer facades are made without handles with recesses, as shown in the photo. We attach roll-out rollers at the bottom of the boxes.

Let's take a closer look at those operations that you will encounter during assembly.

Illustrations	Details of the assembly process
	We screw in the confirmations... To screw in the confirmation, we drill a hole - for this we use a drill with a special cutter. If special drill no, we drill a hole with a length of confirmation and a diameter of 3 mm. Then we expand the edge of the hole made to 5 mm to a depth of 5 mm and get a sweep under the head of the confirmation. We screw the confirmation so that its head is completely recessed in the wood. Subsequently, the mounting hole will be closed with a decorative plug.
	Dowel holes... To install the dowel, holes of the appropriate diameter are drilled in the parts to be joined, most often 6 or 8 mm. The depth of the hole in each of the parts to be joined is 15 or 20 mm (depending on the length of the dowel). The dowel is driven into the wood with or without glue.
	Making the base for the mattress... To install an orthopedic mattress, you can purchase ready-made lamellas, like those shown in the photo, or you can saw the same pieces of boards yourself. A barrier is made from the bar along the inner perimeter of the bed, on which the prepared lamellas are laid. Lamella base suitable for hard mattresses. If the mattress is soft, the base is not made from slats, but from a solid sheet of plywood.
	Installation of swing facades... As an alternative to the drawers, hinged fronts can be installed at the bottom of the bed. Installation of facades is carried out on conventional adjustable hinges.
	Bed decoration... Finished furniture can be stained and varnished if it is wooden. In other cases, painting is the preferred option. Alternatively, a bed made of wood or chipboard can be upholstered with a cloth with preliminary pasting with foam rubber.

Homemade car bed

Illustrations	Putting together a car bed
	Supporting frame... Of furniture board a rectangular frame is assembled - a box. With an electric jigsaw, gaps are cut from one of the ends of the box, imitating a radiator grill, headlights, etc.
	Imitation windshield... On the sides of the body, openings are made through which the child will enter the structure. At the distance at which the hood is supposed to end, we attach a frame assembled from rails.
	Installing the drawer cover... On a piano hinge at the front of the bed, a lid for the bedding box is attached to simulate a bonnet. At the same stage, wheel disks are attached to the sides.
	Mattress holders... A plywood sheet is installed inside the assembled box, on which the mattress is laid.
	Priming and painting... After the bed is assembled, the surface is primed and painted. Considering the complex construction of furniture, for working with paints and varnishes preferably use a brush. The choice of paint is not important, the main thing is that it is completely dry before use.

Let's sum up

Now you know how and from what to make a baby bed. If according to the proposed step by step guide If you have any questions, ask them in the comments to the article.

We move the children to the nursery, we planned to buy a ready-made bed first, but could not choose until we came across an online store with cottage beds. I caught fire like this, but it's expensive to buy (from 50k), and taking into account my nuances I decided to do it myself. Everything was bought in Leroy, for the price everything came out about 10000r (+8000 for a trimmer and a grinder). Net time 7 days.

The project was drawn in visio. I did the cutting and polishing in the apartment without repair, I assembled and painted houses. Acrylic paint on water, almost does not smell. Assembling for confirmation, then covered with facades on furniture bolts. All holes were putty and painted. Colored colors for colored planks.
In total, if there is a time and a place, it is not very difficult. The children are happy, they moved with pleasure :)

The base color is ready. Later I cut out another window by removing 4 boards.

The size of the lower berth is 90x200, another 20 cm near the wall in the form of a shelf under the pillows. Thus, the lower part is extended by 20 cm, when you sit down without banging your head. From the bottom base to the top 110 cm.

The ladder was made specially from the inside so that it did not take up space in the room, there is not much of it. The size of the upper berth is 90x160. From the new I discovered that it is extremely easy to make a children's ladder, a bar, a feather and a round profile on PVA.

The caps of the screws were then puttyed and painted separately, so that in the final all the rules.

Finale - the back wall of 12mm plywood is covered with wallpaper. Ikea shelves have been waiting in the wings for a long time. The backlight is temporary (for a long time), I will finish it. You can sit on the bed like on a sofa, only put more pillows.

Prices for a bed-house in a store start from 20 thousand rubles and sometimes reach the amount of 50 or even 70. If you make a similar design with your own hands, you will have to spend four, or even five times less. In addition, the product will turn out to be unique, will meet the needs of a particular child and will perfectly fit into the interior of the home. Another argument for making such a bed yourself is the ability to choose a design option that even a beginner in carpentry can handle.

Tools and materials

For a baby bed, the most preferable will be the use of natural wood. Such material is not harmful to health, and its durability allows the furniture to remain in good condition.

The only downside is the price; to slightly reduce the cost of the construction, you can purchase pine or birch lumber. If the child suffers from allergies or bronchopulmonary diseases, a bed made of unpainted pine solid wood will ease his condition due to the resins contained in the wood, which give the boards a coniferous smell.

It is not recommended to make a bed from such materials as chipboard, OSB, MDF and the like, as they emit formaldehyde vapors into the air, which are extremely dangerous for the child's body. Regular inhalation contributes to the development of respiratory diseases, provokes asthma attacks and headaches, causes allergies, sleep disorders and problems concentrating.

In addition to the boards, you will need the following materials:

• Lamels.
• Wooden beam with a section of 40 x 40 mm or 45 x 45 mm.
• Metal furniture corners.
• Guides (for models with pull-out elements).
• Self-tapping screws.
• Joiner's glue.

From tools you need to have:

• Grinding machine.
• Jigsaw (if the bed model implies the presence of windows and other curly elements).
• Hacksaw saw.
• A set of files.
• Screwdriver.
• Vice.
• A square and a simple pencil for marking.

Drawings and dimensions

There are many types of these beds. They are united only by the presence of a "roof" and the general stylization of a house; otherwise they may differ significantly from each other.

A model for creating with your own hands should be chosen, relying not only on appearance products, but also on the complexity of manufacturing parts.

Single-tier

Most simple construction without any decorative elements, which will look decent in the interior of a modern home and will serve as a comfortable sleeping place for a child. Even a person without experience in such work can cope with its manufacture and assembly.

The undoubted advantage of this model is that it can be done with a minimum set of tools.

Bunk

An interesting and practical bed-house for small apartments. The staircase that leads to the second tier also serves as a chest of drawers; there are also two drawers at the bottom.

Drawing 1

Drawing 2

Drawing 3

If such a structure seems too complicated to do with your own hands, you can make an ordinary staircase in the form of two supports with transverse slats stuffed on them.

Attic type

The loft-type bed-house is convenient in that there is a free area under the berth, where it is easy to equip a play or study area. This is a real find in the case when the child does not have his own room.

If necessary, you can modify the given drawing by moving the ladder from the front to the side. Also, if desired, make a complete roof overlap.

Double

Two berths, literally located under one roof, will be an excellent accommodation option for children with a small age difference. This design allows you to slightly increase the area of \u200b\u200b\\ u200b \\ u200bthe room allocated for play area, and the presence of drawers makes convenient storage blankets, pillows and other items.

To make such a bed with your own hands, you must be guided by the following drawing:

If necessary, pull-out guest beds can be equipped instead of drawers. In this case, the side bumpers (those that adjoin the walls with windows) are made lower so that the children who occupy the main sleeping places can get up without disturbing the guests. For the same reason, you cannot put the bed with its side part close to the wall.

The size of the room should also be considered. With a standard mattress length of 160 cm, a bed with extended berths will take about 3.5 m in length.

Step-by-step manufacturing instructions

With minimal experience, the entire preparation and assembly process will take approximately 4-5 hours. The professional will handle it even faster. You can cut out the crib parts gradually and in parallel to assemble the body. But it is much more convenient to divide the work into two stages.

Parts procurement

To begin with, you should follow these steps:

The ends of the bars or planks from which the sides of the roof will be formed must be cut off at an angle of 45 degrees. This is the only way to get a beautiful, neat stingray.

Mounting

When assembling, they act like this:

All spike joints should be glued with wood glue and the furniture should be used only after it is completely dry. Detailed instructions can be read on the packaging.

Now all that remains is to put the mattress and make the bed with linens.

Decor options

The house bed is good because it is easy to decorate with a canopy. Sewing two or three different sets of fabric curtains, you can change the appearance of this piece of furniture beyond recognition.

If she stands in front of the window and the bright sunlight wakes up the child earlier than necessary, a canopy made of dense opaque material will come in handy. If the cape should only decorate the bed, you can opt for any material you like.

The function of a decorative element can be performed by a long narrow curtain, woven by the macrame method. It will also make the sleeping area more comfortable.

If desired, a short canopy is stylized as a tiled roof. This decoration option is suitable for beds where there is only a triangular frame and no wooden floor.

However, you can do without fabric curtains altogether. And so that the structure does not look empty and boring, it is worth decorating it with soft toys, garlands of paper letters that make up the name of the child, hanging it from the upper beam of a dream catcher or a beautiful trinket with tassels or pompoms.

You can create an atmosphere of mystery and, at the same time, comfort by wrapping the vertical supports and cross-beams with an LED garland with light bulbs in the form of stars and hanging three-dimensional paper-cut clouds from the ceiling. The wallpaper with the image of the night sky will complement the design.

Older children who often read in bed in the evenings will love the lighting option shown in the photo below. Before putting it into practice, it is worth treating the wooden parts of the bed with a fire retardant (a special liquid that prevents ignition).

Making a bed-house with your own hands is quite simple. In addition, the family budget will not suffer much, even if you buy not only lumber and consumables, but also tools. It is also a creative process, and all family members can participate in it, spending time together for a useful activity.

It is important for parents that their children grow up in a comfortable atmosphere, and nothing threatens their sleep. If a person has a minimum set of tools and basic knowledge, then dIY baby bed it will not be difficult to do, provided that you have Photo, product sketch, blueprints... The device of such furniture is simple.

Scheme and dimensions of a crib for a newborn

Parents know that a crib for a baby, especially between the ages of one and four years, is especially important, because the baby sleeps a lot. The right furniture is the key to a comfortable sleep. For apartments small size such a crib in a nursery can also replace a playpen.
It is easy to make it in two or three days and provide for all the subtleties and nuances for the comfort of the child.

The right furniture is the key to a comfortable sleep

The first step is to figure out what elements this structure will consist of.

• Mattress. It is chosen based on the weight and age of the baby, therefore it is better not to do it yourself, but simply buy it in the store. The purchased mattress was developed in cooperation with orthopedists and takes into account all the body's needs for comfortable sleep and the correct formation of the child's spine. Mattresses are divided into two main types: on a spring block and without springs. The version with springs can be on an independent spring block (each spring is placed in a separate bag of non-woven material and the load on such a mattress is distributed pointwise) and on a dependent spring block (the springs are united by a metal frame, and the weight of the sleeper is distributed evenly over the entire area of \u200b\u200bthe product).

  

  Comfortable hanging crib

  These mattresses are best purchased for children over 5 years old. And for babies with low weight, products on a springless block are recommended, where the frame itself, as a rule, consists of polyurethane foam or foam rubber and, depending on the degree of rigidity, can be supplemented with coconut coir or other materials.

• Frame. This element is made based on the size assumed by the bed mattress. The material for it is most often a planed board.
• Lamels. These parts of the product are designed to support the mattress from below and are slats inserted into the furniture frame. They form a grid with a distance of about 5 cm between each other (for ventilation of the mattress).

• Sidewalls. They are a fence to prevent the child from falling out of the crib. Depending on the wishes of the parent, they can be high or low, solid or carved. At the headboard, their height will be higher than at the legs.

• Legs. This element can be made by hand or purchased at a specialized furniture hardware store. They can be initially planed on the sides of the crib, or they can be screwed to it.

Crib drawing

Determining the model

In the children's room, several types of beds are most often used:

• With boxes
• Loft bed
• Bunk bed (if there are two babies in the room)

If the premise of the children's room does not allow you to put a large bed in the room, but you need a compact model that can save square meters, it is better to choose a design with boxes. Drawers are used to store bedding, toys, children's items and everything that does not fit in a child's chest of drawers or drawers.

Baby cot on two levels for small children

In order for the furniture to be of high quality, it is necessary to select environmentally friendly materials for its manufacture. Thick plywood or wood is ideal. MDF or chipboard, popular in the furniture industry, are not worth purchasing for the manufacture of structures because of the adhesives used in the manufacture of materials. Chemical substances can negatively affect the baby's body, causing allergies.

The original bed for stylish interior children's room

Tip: It is not recommended to make a crib smaller than 1.5 * 0.6 meters, but you should not make it huge more than 1.8 * 0.7 meters. The child will quickly grow out of a small crib, and if you make it too big, the baby will not feel comfortable in it.

The base for such furniture is made solid, it can be purchased ready-made, or you can simply use a sheet of plywood instead.
Its dimensions should be based on the size of the purchased mattress. A grille can be purchased as a base, but plywood can be used as an option, since the child's weight is not so great.

Thick plywood or wood is ideal.

Wood shield. It is better to use wood with a low resin content, such as birch, linden. The size of the shield is recommended to be taken with a length of two meters, a width of 60 centimeters and a thickness of about 3 centimeters.

On the furniture board, the future outline of the workpiece is drawn with chalk according to the dimensions of the sketch. If it is necessary to make holes on the sides of the structure, then they are drawn by attaching a champagne glass or using an ordinary glass.

Furniture board and plywood can be sawn by purchasing from a store. As a rule, most stores have such services, but you must provide dimensions in millimeters and patterns. It is recommended to cut it on your own with a jigsaw, but if you do not have a jigsaw at hand, then you can cut the materials with a regular saw.

Furniture board and plywood can be sawn by purchasing from a store.

After cutting, all wood elements are sanded with sandpaper so that the materials from which the crib is made do not scratch the baby's delicate skin.

If it was not possible to find corners made of aluminum, then they are cut from an aluminum profile. The details of the bed must correspond to the sketch drawings. And the length of the corner from the profile should match the length of the side back of the furniture. Holes are made on these fasteners for threading self-tapping screws. The sides are attached with corners to the bed frame or plywood base, and this structure is tightened with eight self-tapping screws.

Initially, the parts are fastened on one side, then the future workpiece is turned over to the side. According to the scheme, the order of fastening the elements and the location of the parts should be checked from time to time. To make the product stable and strong, watch out for distortions and displacements of parts relative to each other. The bed walls are attached to each other and pulled together; if there are no holes in the walls, then they are made using a drill.

The frame part of the product is ready, it's time to assemble the back, which will be located above the child's head. If desired, it can be made in any shape, the main thing is that this piece of furniture fully fulfills its function, that is, it protects the baby from injury.

Carved wooden crib for a newborn baby

Very often, small children in a dream raise their heads up, so the sides here should be at least 10 centimeters high. Another advantage of the high sideboards and headboard is that it prevents toys and bedding from being thrown out of bed.

Original baby cot for a boy

We make a headboard: we take a furniture board, from it, if you wish, you can make a carved back that looks beautiful and noble, or decorate. The design of the headboard and backrest in the legs must match for the design to look organic.

We make a headboard: we take a furniture board, from it, if you wish, you can make a carved back that looks beautiful and noble, or decorate.

We fasten the legs to the very body of the bed, which we purchase in a furniture accessories store. We do this using long-length self-tapping screws.

All elements of the bed frame are additionally carefully polished, right down to the slots and cutouts, so that the child does not get hurt by putting his fingers in the slot.

Tip: A smooth sanded surface can be obtained with a drill with an attachment or a sander.

Decorated, polished backrests are attached to the frame frame. So that the fasteners are not visible, they are drilled from below, directing the drill upward. Cutting holes should be as accurate as possible, because this part is easily damaged. We make the hole for the screed ourselves; it will be difficult to make it with a drill in this place. If the wood for making the crib is soft, then the hole will easily break through.

So that the fasteners are not visible, they are drilled from below, directing the drill upward

The configuration of the crib assumes that the storage boxes are not attached to the bed frame, but look like roll-out pedestals. The drawers should be supplemented with wheels in order to roll out the storage container.

Stylish wooden crib for toddler

If the landlord decided to change the configuration of the bed so that the drawers slide out, then a transverse rail is attached to the bottom of the workpiece, and the product itself will stand on the side bars. In this case, the sidewalls are made higher than previously conceived by several centimeters, equal to the height of the boxes. The pull-out box (drawer) itself is placed on the guides.

Wooden crib for a bright and spacious room

For the boxes, we take plywood with a thickness of 1.2 cm, cut out the bottom and walls of the box, tighten together with self-tapping screws. Additionally, the box is glued, because the things in the box bear the load on the structure. We attach the wheels to the bottom of the assembled box.

Bright spacious room with a cot

Legs on the bed, if it is decided to make them independently, are made from the remains of a furniture board or from scraps of square-shaped timber. Fix the legs to the furniture frame with self-tapping screws.

For the boxes, we take plywood with a thickness of 1.2 cm, cut out the bottom and walls of the box, tighten together with self-tapping screws.

Bed decoration

When the work is completed, it is recommended to give the product a finished look. It is recommended to pass it with upholstery fabric for furniture. Preliminarily, parts are cut out of the fabric 2-3 centimeters larger than the main parts and are overlocked so that they do not crumble. The fabric is fastened with a furniture stapler, and its sections are hidden inside the crib so as not to spoil the aesthetic appearance of the structure. During decoration, the fabric is stretched so that no creases, folds and bubbles appear.

Baby cot for the smallest family member and small bedroom

Another finishing option would be varnishing the crib frame, headboard, backrests at the legs. For this, it is recommended to use a fast drying water-based varnish. More environmentally friendly furniture in the children's room will be stained. Previously, it is recommended to sand and polish all parts with a drill with a nozzle.
