Do-it-yourself children's bed: drawings, photos, manufacturing material

It is difficult to overestimate the importance of adequate sleep for the health of the child. 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 find out how to do it right.

Crib elements

Before proceeding with the manufacture of a children's bed, let's decide what distinguishes it from adult counterparts. Among the distinguishing features:

• Dimensions. Mattresses for children's beds are shorter and narrower than their adult counterparts (see table standard sizes sleeping mattresses).
• Number and location of beds. The bed in children's furniture is not made double, more often these are single structures. If you need to accommodate two children, a two-tier structure is going to be built.
• Operational safety. High-quality furniture for a children's room does not have sharp corners and traumatic parts.
• decorative design. Furniture for a children's room should be boring and visually attractive to the child.

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

Elements in the design of children's furniture are rounded at the corners and painted in bright colors. Important point- High sides are used in the design of most children's beds to ensure safety. The use of such elements is mandatory in cribs for children under the age of 3 years.

Deciding on a model

The choice of the design of the children's bed determines:

• Children's age. The dimensions of the bed depend on age - the older the child, the larger the bed.
• Amount of children. For one child, a single-tier bed is built, and with an increase in the number of children, the number of tiers increases.
• Gender of the child. The gender of the child affects decorative design furniture.
• Room features. In a spacious nursery, you can install several single-tier beds, and in a cramped room, the structure is built in several tiers.
• Project budget. Material possibilities determine what materials furniture can be assembled from.

Basic details of wooden beds

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

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

Along the inner perimeter of the frame, lamellas are fixed, on which the mattress will be held. At the bottom of the bed is provided free space, which contains drawers 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 design. To ensure safety, the side of the second tier is located on four sides.

materials

Illustrations	Materials and their description
	Solid wood lumber. Boards, timber, furniture panels are all-wood environmentally friendly materials that I recommend primarily 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 - not the best option in terms of environmental safety. But because of affordable price Chipboard is still the most popular and sought-after material to this day.
	Oriented Strand Board (OSB). In terms 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 provided that the surface is covered with several continuous layers of varnish.
	Fiberboard - auxiliary material. Fibreboard (Fibreboard) is used as a structural material, which drawers are lined from below or covered with a bed on top.

About fasteners

If you make a bed of lumber or particle boards, you will need confirmations for fastening - universal fasteners in the form of screws with an increased thread pitch. In order to ensure greater strength for mounting on confirmations, you can use dowels - wooden chopsticks 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 are corner fixings ordinary and reinforced with scarves on the fold, as shown in the photo. When choosing, we prefer reinforced plates, as they are stronger and more reliable.

About fittings

A baby bed is a simple structure, where the list of special fittings is limited to guides for folding the front wall, a pendulum mechanism for rocking cradles, etc. At self assembly you can limit yourself to rollers for drawers, as well as hinges and latches for a folding 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 milling cutter, a 5 mm hex wrench, measuring tool. You will also need free space on which you can cut necessary details and then put them together.

wooden bed

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

The design, assembled according to the proposed scheme, is durable, neat and at the same time budget in terms of materials. Most importantly, it is easy to make such a bed yourself, even if such work is done for the first time.

Illustrations	Making a crib with drawers
	Materials and tools. To assemble this bed, you need pine or beech boards with a section of 35 × 100 mm and 25 × 100 mm. Woodworking requires Miter saw, milling cutter, drill, key for confirmations, screwdriver.
	Cutting out the details. From the board 35 × 100 we cut 4 blanks 1900 mm long, 4 blanks 1810 mm long and 4 blanks 800 mm each. On blanks 1810 mm long, 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 attach the transverse crossbars, which will be the head and foot of the bed on the upper and lower tiers.
	Bed assembly and ladder installation. After the end nodes of the bed are ready, we attach the longitudinal boards of the safety barriers. In the inner perimeter of the upper and lower beds, we install lamellas - 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 assemble the boxes from the board as a rectangular frame, along the bottom of which the bottom is fixed. For convenience and safety of operation, we make the facades of drawers without handles with recesses, as shown in the photo. At the bottom of the drawers we attach roll-out rollers.

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

Illustrations	Assembly process details
	We screw in confirmations. To screw 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 sweat under the head of the confirmation. We screw the confirmation so that its head is completely recessed into 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 connected parts is 15 or 20 mm (depending on the length of the dowel). The dowel is driven into the wood with or without preliminary application of 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 cut the same pieces of boards yourself. Along the inner perimeter of the bed, a barrier is made from a bar, on which prepared lamellas are laid. The base of the slats is suitable for hard mattresses. If the mattress is soft, the base is not made of lamellas, but of a solid plywood sheet.
	Installation of hinged facades. As an alternative to 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 fabric with pre-glued foam rubber.

Homemade car bed

Illustrations	Assembling the car bed
	load-bearing frame. From furniture board a rectangular frame is assembled - a box. Gaps imitating a radiator grill, headlights, etc. are cut from one of the ends of the box with an electric jigsaw.
	Imitation windshield. Openings are made on the sides of the body through which the child will get inside the structure. At the distance at which the hood is supposed to end, we fasten the frame assembled from the rails.
	Installing the drawer lid. On the piano hinge in front of the bed is attached to the lid of the bedding box, imitating the lid of the hood. 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. Given the complex design of furniture, to work with paintwork materials it is preferable to use a brush. The choice of paint is unimportant, the main thing is that it is completely dry before use.

Summing up

Now you know how and 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 first planned to buy a ready-made bed, but we couldn’t choose until we got an online store with beds-houses. I caught fire like this, but it’s expensive to buy (from 50k), and, taking into account my own nuances, I decided to do it myself. Everything was bought in Leroy, everything came out at a price of about 10,000 rubles (+ 8,000 for trimming and a grinder). Net time days 7.

The size of the lower bed is 90x200, another 20 cm near the wall in the form of a shelf for pillows. Thus, the lower part is extended by 20 cm, when you sit down you do not hit your head. From the bottom base to the top 110 cm.

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

Then the self-tapping screws were puttied and painted separately, so that in the final everything is fine.

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

Prices for a bed-house in a store start at 20 thousand rubles and sometimes reach an 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 ideally 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 children's bed, the most preferable is the use of natural wood. Such material does not harm health, and its durability allows the furniture to remain in good condition.

The only downside is the price; to slightly reduce the cost of construction, you can purchase lumber from pine or birch. If a child suffers from allergies or broncho-pulmonary diseases, a bed made of unpainted pine wood will alleviate 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 materials such as chipboard, OSB, MDF and the like, since they emit formaldehyde vapors into the air, which are extremely dangerous for the child's body. Regular inhalation contributes to the development of diseases respiratory tract, provokes asthma attacks and headaches, causes allergies, sleep disorders and problems with concentration.

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 sliding elements).
• Self-tapping screws.
• Joiner's glue.

Of the tools you need to have:

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

Drawings and dimensions

There are many varieties of these beds. They are united only by the presence of a “roof” and the general stylization of a house; otherwise, they can differ significantly from each other.

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

single tier

Most simple design 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 will cope with its manufacture and assembly.

The undoubted advantage of this model is that it can be made 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.

Blueprint 1

Blueprint 2

Blueprint 3

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

Attic type

An attic-type bed-house is convenient in that there is free space under the bed, 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 transferring the stairs from the front to the side. Also, if desired, make a complete overlap of the roof.

double bedroom

Two sleeping places, 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\u200bthe room allotted for play area, and the presence of drawers makes it convenient to store blankets, pillows and other things.

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

If necessary, instead of drawers, pull-out guest beds can be equipped. In this case, the side walls (those that are adjacent to 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 can not put the bed side part close to the wall.

You should also consider the size of the room. With a standard mattress length of 160 cm, a bed with extended beds will take about 3.5 m in length.

Step by step instructions for making

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

Procurement of parts

To get started, follow these steps:

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

Installation

When assembled, they work like this:

All studded joints should be glued with carpentry glue and furniture should only be used after it has completely dried. Detailed instructions can be read on the package.

Now it remains only to put the mattress and cover the bed with bed linen.

Decor options

The house bed is good because it is easy to decorate with a canopy. By 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 bright sunlight wakes the child earlier than necessary, a canopy made of dense opaque matter 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 also be performed by a narrow long curtain woven using the macrame method. It will also make your bed more comfortable.

If desired, a short canopy is stylized under 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. And so that the design 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 a dream catcher or a beautiful trinket with tassels or pompoms from the top beam.

You can create an atmosphere of mystery and coziness at the same time by wrapping vertical supports and cross beams with an LED garland with light bulbs in the form of stars and hanging three-dimensional clouds cut out of paper from the ceiling. 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 flame 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 elementary knowledge, then do-it-yourself baby bed it will be quite easy to do, provided that you have at hand photo, product sketch, blueprints. The device of such furniture is simple.

Scheme and dimensions of the crib for a newborn

Parents know that a crib is especially important for a baby, especially from the age of one to four years, because the child sleeps a lot. The right furniture is the key to a comfortable sleep. For apartments small size such a bed 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 design will consist of.

• Mattress. It is selected based on the weight and age of the baby, so it is better not to do it yourself, but simply buy it in the store. The purchased mattress was developed together with orthopedists and takes into account all the needs of the body for comfortable sleep and the correct formation of the child's spine. Mattresses are divided into two main types: on the spring block and without springs. A variety 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 from 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 lattice with a distance between each other of about 5 cm (for mattress ventilation).

• Sidewalls. They are a barrier 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 head of their height will be higher than at the feet.

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

Crib drawing

Deciding on a model

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

• with drawers
• Loft bed
• Bunk bed (if there are two babies in the room)

If the room 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, then it is better to choose a design with boxes. Drawers are used to store bed linen, toys, children's things and everything that does not fit in a child's chest of drawers or nightstands.

Cot in two levels for small children

In order for the furniture to turn out to be of high quality, it is necessary to choose environmentally friendly materials for its manufacture. The ideal material would be thick plywood or wood. Popular in the furniture industry, MDF or chipboard is not worth buying 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.

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. From a small crib, the child will quickly grow, and if you make it too big, then 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 trellis can be purchased as a base, but plywood can be used as an option, since the child's weight is not so large.

The ideal material would be thick plywood or wood.

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

On the furniture board, the future contour of the workpiece is drawn with chalk according to the size 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 buying at the store. As a rule, most stores have such services, but you must provide measurements in millimeters and patterns. On your own, it is recommended to make a cut with an electric jigsaw, but if there is no jigsaw at hand, then you can cut materials with a conventional saw.

Furniture board and plywood can be sawn by buying at the store.

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

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

Original baby bed in the form of a car for a boy

Initially, the parts are fixed on one side, then the future workpiece is turned over to the side. According to the scheme, from time to time it is necessary to check the order of fastening of the elements and the location of the parts. To make the product stable and strong, watch 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 with 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 injuries.

Carved wooden bed for a newborn baby

Very often, small children raise their heads up in their sleep, so the sides here must be at least 10 centimeters in height. Another advantage of high sides and a headboard is to prevent toys and bedding from being thrown out of the bed.

Original crib for a boy

We make a headboard: we take a furniture board, if desired, you can make a carved back out of it, which looks beautiful and noble or decorates. The design of the headboard and backrest at the legs should match so that the design looks organic.

We make a headboard: we take a furniture board, if desired, you can make a carved back out of it, which looks beautiful and noble or decorates.

We fasten the legs to the very body of the bed, which we purchase in the furniture fittings store. We do this with the help of self-tapping screws of great length.

All elements of the bed body are additionally carefully polished, up to slots and cutouts, so that the child does not get hurt when putting his fingers in the slot.

Tip: A smooth sanded surface will be obtained using a drill with a nozzle or a grinder.

The decorated polished backs fasten to a frame frame. So that the fasteners are not visible, they are drilled from below, pointing the drill up. Cutting holes should be as accurate as possible, because this part is easy to damage. We make a 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, pointing the drill up

The configuration of the crib assumes that the storage boxes are not attached to the bed frame, but are in the form of roll-out pedestals. Boxes should be supplemented with wheels so that the storage container rolls out.

Stylish wooden crib for baby

If the owner of the apartment decided to change the configuration of the crib so that the drawers could be pulled out, then a transverse rail is attached to the bottom of the workpiece, and the product itself will stand on the side rails. In this case, the sidewalls are made higher than previously planned by several centimeters, equal to the height of the drawers. The drawer itself (drawer) is placed on the guides.

Wooden crib for a bright and spacious room

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

Bright spacious room with a crib

The legs on the bed, if it is decided to make them on their own, are made from the remains of a furniture board or from scraps of timber square shape. Attach the legs to the furniture frame with self-tapping screws.

For boxes, we take plywood with a thickness of 1.2 cm, cut out the bottom and walls of the box, tighten it 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. Previously, parts 2–3 centimeters larger than the main parts are cut out of the fabric and passed with an overlock 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 creases, folds and bubbles do not appear.

Crib for the smallest family member and small bedroom

Another finishing option would be varnishing the crib frame, headboard, backrest at the legs. To do this, it is recommended to use quick-drying water-based varnishes. More environmentally friendly for furniture in the children's room will be treated with wood stain. Beforehand, it is recommended to sand and polish all the details with a drill with a nozzle.
