When the time comes to upgrade your child’s bed to a double bed, the choice and pressure to get it right can often be overwhelming. It can be a big investment but is undoubtedly an important one nonetheless and at Little Lucy Willow, we want to make sure that the process is as easy and stress-free as possible for you. We offer a whole range of double beds designed with your children in mind, so let us explore some of our favourites for a number of different room styles and personalities.
A Classical Feel
Sometimes, less is more and this is especially true with more traditionally inspired double bed options. The Edward and Ella Childrens Bed is made from high quality solid oak and the simplistic design makes it a popular choice for those looking for a less in-your-face but just as beautiful model. Available in both single and double sizes, this bed is a perfect piece for any room, especially those with other oak furniture or a laminated wooden floor. This being said, the simple yet elegant wooden design makes it a great fit for any room.
Another double bed with an elegant yet simple design is the Laura Bed, which could be the perfect product for your little princess. It comes in four colours and a tall headboard makes the Laura Bed similar to the kind of bed you’d expect to see in a fairytale castle. Beautifully crafted bedposts and a slightly raised footboard make it a great option and it can even be personalised with your child’s name on the footboard.
Boys and Girls
Nowadays, there is less of a partition between beds designed for boys and girls. At Little Lucy Willow, we offer our beds in a range of different colours and styles, meaning that most of our range can be for either gender. However, if you are interested in a bed that fits the light and pink style of your little girl’s room, look no further than the Looby Lou Low Foot End Bed. Available in four different colours, from Ballerina Pink to Bunny Tail Ivory, there are some subtle changes you can make to ensure it is the perfect fit for your daughter’s room.
Likewise, finding the ideal bed for a boys room can be a struggle too. However, the Archie Double High Foot End Bed is the perfect solution for your problems. Made in our own factory in England, this bed is seen as a great option for those boys approaching their teenage years. It is available in eight colours, all of which can add a unique vibrancy to any kids room. It is a popular choice and will guarantee to add something to any room in need.
Growing Older
If your child is a teenager or is approaching those stressful years of their lives, a double bed is suitable for other reasons. With an increased workload of homework to do after starting at secondary school, many kids need more space to sprawl out books, laptops and other equipment. In this case, you may not want a bed that has a ‘kids room’ feel, instead opting for something more mature instead to fit their maturing personality and style.
The Harrison Sussex Sleigh Bed is a popular choice amongst those looking for a luxury double bed option for their teenager. Made from solid oak, this stylish bed screams maturity and is a great alternative to a more-gimmicky option. What it lacks in storage space and added features is made up in style and design and it is available in both single and double sizes. Although perhaps more suited to a teenage boy’s room, the Harrison Sussex Sleigh is perfect for all children and teenagers, easy to fit into any room stylistically thanks to the sharp oak design.
Another option for the bedroom of a slightly older child is the Charlie Oakley High Foot End Bed. Available in small and large double sizes, the Charlie Oakley bed is handmade here in the UK at a high standard and is available in eight colours, including traditionally gendered colours like blue and pink, in addition to more neutral options such as grey and ivory. An advantage of this bed is the option for more storage underneath the bed. When placing your order with Little Lucy Willow, we can add storage options if you need more room to store all that teenage clutter.
