From tree house to race track: 5 creative ideas to transform a loft bed into a dream place!

Mid-height sleepers for children are super practical: they save space, often have built-in storage drawers and make the children's room just that little bit more exciting. But did you know that with a little creativity you can turn it into a real dream place? Whether your child is a little adventurer, a princess or a gaming fanatic, with these five ideas you can turn a mid-height sleeper into a great play and sleeping place!

1 - The Treehouse Lodge

For little explorers! Give the mid-height bed an adventurous look with a wooden or fabric curtain all around, so that it becomes a 'hut'. Add some artificial plants, a rope ladder and a pair of binoculars for real jungle vibes.

💡 Tip : Hang a string of warm white LED lights along the edge for a cozy atmosphere in the evening.

2 - The fairytale castle

For princesses, knights and dragon tamers! Attach ornate curtains to the bottom of the bed and add a 'castle gate' made of sturdy cardboard or wood. A golden crown above the headboard and some cushions in pastel shades will complete the look.

💡 Tip : Use glow-in-the-dark stars on the ceiling for a magical night sky.

3 - The cool gamerspot

Got a little gamer at home? Turn the space under the mid-height bed into a gaming nook! A small desk with LED strips, a comfy chair and a headset hook on the side make this spot perfect for gaming or doing homework.

💡 Tip : Use a stick-on whiteboard or chalkboard paint on the wall to keep score or jot down creative ideas.

4 - The race track or garage

For little car lovers! Paint a race track pattern on the bottom of the loft bed or use a large piece of wallpaper with car tracks. Place bins under the bed for all the cars and garage accessories.

💡 Tip : Attach a piece of plastic pipe to the side of the bed as a 'slide' for toy cars!

5 - The mini library

For little bookworms! Transform the space under the mid-high sleeper into a cozy reading corner with a soft rug, a few large cushions and a wall shelf for your favorite books. A small lamp completes the picture.

💡 Tip : Hang up a small blackboard where children can write down their own 'books of the week'.

Let's get started!

With a little creativity and some fun accessories, you can transform an ordinary mid-height bed into a magical dream place. Whether you go for adventure, fantasy or a cool chill spot, the most important thing is that your child feels completely at home.
