Get what you need and want, and don’t be afraid to order furniture the proper way. In the end, you will have the exact color, look, and fit you want.
Prioritize which pieces you want and need.
Decide on the now, but plan for the future. Children’s furniture is available as a twin or full bed, bunk beds and space saving loft beds. Think if the furniture will be a transition bedroom, or have to last throughout their school years. Decide what is needed in ways of storage and if there is space to add in an extra nightstand or a desk and a hutch. You always have the option for a trundle or storage. Pieces can also be added later as the child grows.
