It's All About Beds

Personalizing kids bedroom decor is a great way to make a child feel at home in their personal space. Hanging your child’s own personal artwork on the walls helps build her self-esteem and sense of identity. One sure-fire way to do it is to design a bed – the centerpiece of any bedroom – that reflects your child’s tastes and interests. And in the case of little girls, who often fancy themselves to be princesses in waiting, then there’s really no better way to accomplish this than with custom princess beds and castle theme room decor.

A custom princess castle bed is the ultimate piece of princess bedroom furniture to ensure your little girl sleeps pretty as a princess night after night. To help personalize that most important piece of custom kids bedroom furniture so that it stands out as your girls very own, consider some of the following design elements:

• Hearts – Every fairy tale with a princess in it is a love story at its heart. Decorating the princess furniture in hearts evokes that sense of being cherished, loved, safe, and secure that attracts so many little girls to princesses in the first place, and any time she wants, she can gaze wistfully at the bright, red valentines and think of the day she finds her dashing prince or her knight in shining armor.

• Stars – They’re not just for ceilings anymore.
• Flowers – Floral decor adds vibrancy and life to any princess room decor, making it feel like a bright, warm spring or summery day indoors, even when the weather is cold and nasty outside.
• Animals – If you look at most fairy tale storybooks and movies with princess in them, you will see that the princess usually has at least one beloved animal at her side most of the time, if not an entire menagerie of animals. Joann Means, interior designer, and her husband Johnny Means, master craftsman, have spent the last several years bringing fairy tales to life for little girls and boys alike, far and wide.

Air beds usually receive a bad rap when it comes to usability and comfort. Through the years air bed manufacturers have made significant improvements in material and comfort. They have realized that an adjustable air bed is being used for more than just a spare bed in a guest room. In the past, it wasn’t uncommon for air beds to be made of poor quality material such as thin plastic or vinyl. Throughout the night, these types of beds would eventually lose most of their air pressure, not to mention how uncomfortable sleeping on a plastic or vinyl top could be. Even bed sheets couldn’t help ease the discomfort.

Today, air bed manufacturers are building air beds with quality material which prevent air loss throughout the night. Many beds now come with firmness control allowing you to adjust the firmness of your air bed right from a remote control. The tops of the beds have also received a makeover boasting soft materials that don’t require bed sheets unless you want to.

Modern air beds also come in a variety of styles and sizes. Sizes include twin, full, queen and king. Air beds are no longer only used as a spare bed for a guest room, but are being utilized even more on camping trips or in RV’s. Their portability and convenience means you can have a good night’s sleep on any family outing or vacation.

If you are in the market for a good air bed, you will be surprised at some of the features that are available. Air beds have come quite a long way from their counterparts of the past.
