The kids' room is one of the hardest areas in the home to keep organized, but the most fun to decorate. It is usually a high traffic area and a place your child will spend a lot of their time. As our kids get older they acquire more "stuff", their needs change or they just get tired of their current room decor. Loft beds can quickly and easily satisfy these types of problems.
The loft bed comes in various shapes, designs and sizes to fit your child's needs. This article will cover the basic types of loft beds on the market today.

Traditional
The traditional loft bed has an area underneath with a ladder where the child climbs into an elevated bed. These are among the most popular, especially among older children. The area underneath can contain almost anything you can imagine. Among the most popular are desks, play areas and storage areas. The size of the bed can range from twin to queen size and is only limited by your budget.
Low Beds
While the low beds is suitable for children of all ages, this type of bed is usually selected for one of two reasons.
1. Child Safety - Many parents don't like the idea of their child sleeping on an elevated bed in fear they could fall out during the night. The low beds also are known for their themes. They are available in themes from cars to princess castles.
2. Bed Size - If your budget doesn't allow for high quality material, the loft beds with a queen size bed do not appear as sturdy when the bed is elevated.
The low loft beds have the bed resting on the ground and typically surrounded by storage space on both sides and above.

This is the least expensive way to have a loft bed. If you are on a tight budget, definitely research the loft bed conversion kits.
