It is time to buy dd a bedroom set, and I am torn... do I get her one of those white, "little girl" bedrooms that are so cute, or do I get her regular bedroom furniture and just cute bedding/decorations. The little girl bedrooms are cute but I feel she might grow out of them, and maybe if I get her a regular set I can use it as a guest room when she grows up. Part of me just wants to get high quality, adult furniture, and just keep it forever. What do you think? |
We went the regular furniture route. You can always update bedding and art. |
PB teen has great furniture. |
Buying for the long term will be a smarter investment. Kids don't care about furniture. |
Not sure I understand - white furniture can be used and look good as adult furniture. Is it the style or the size of the bed you are debating? |
I got my daughter a nice white set that is solid and not cutesy, with a full-sized bed. I figure it can grow with her when we change out the bedding and accessories later on. Got it from Belfort and it's holding up well. |
So, for example (not necessarily my favorites or anything) here is an "adult" white bedroom: ![]() And here would be "little girl" furniture: ![]() The little girl furniture is more "cutesy" I guess? But if I got adult furniture, I would not get white, because I'm not really a huge fan of white furniture for adults. The other issue is kids' furniture is typically full size beds, whereas I would prefer queen. I'm planning on getting high quality pieces either way, and while I was originally all set on getting a little girls set, the more I thought about it, the more sense it made to get something that could just stay with us forever. |
My dd is 4 and I got her a full size bed so she can grow with it. The only drawback has been finding cute disney bedding/comforter. Most of the one s we liked only came in twin for some reason. Finding full cutesy bedding has been a challenge |
We bought a nice set for my 14 yr old DD at Haverty's. White and girly but not "young" looking. |
We got DD (5) an adult set. I figure she can take it with her when she leaves the house. If she doesn't want it in her bedroom, she can keep it in the guest room. I got a queen size bed because I will be sleeping in it as a guest.
Her room is very girly, but not little kid like. |
