Fun and Affordable Kids Furniture

Room Sets

Kids grow fast, and their tastes seem to change even more quickly. That’s why when decorating kids’ rooms, versatile decor is a must. We carry a variety of matching bedroom, playroom and nursery sets with customizable options to make decorating easy. Choose from a wide range of beds, dressers, mirrors, nightstands, chests and desks to fit any room. Personalize your child’s space by choosing from 2 to 5-piece sets with coordinating bedroom basics and clever accessories. At Furniture.com, you’ll find solidly built kids’ furniture in an array of styles and finishes to suit children of all ages.

Beds

Whether you're choosing baby’s first crib, replacing outgrown beds or helping older children give their rooms a new look, you’ll find options that excite both parents and kids alike at Furniture.com. Pick the perfect bed for your child whether it's a stylish crib, full or twin size bed, trundle, bunk bed, loft or daybed. Smart storage features including bookcase headboards, built-in shelves and fold-away extra mattresses make cleaning up or last minute sleepovers a breeze. Browse fun designs for boys and girls, as well as classic styles that will last throughout childhood.

Storage Accessories

Can't remember the last time you saw your kids' bedroom or playroom floor? Our selection of storage accessories help cut the clutter while keeping favorite toys, clothes and books within reach. Nightstands, chests and dressers with easy-access cubbies and drawers make tidying up quick and simple. We carry colors and designs that'll fit right into your modern or traditional decor scheme.

Decorating a Kid's Bedroom, Nursery, or Playroom

The key to furnishing kids' rooms is creating a space that will grow with your child. Adjustable and multi-functional pieces can be repurposed. While young children love the adventure of climbing on bunk beds or lofts, pick one with a removable lower bed to give teens the option to repurpose the space for added storage, seating or workspace. Savvy parents also choose well-made furniture. Pick items that can weather many years of spills, bumps and scrapes.

To celebrate your child's individuality without breaking the bank, mix practical basics with dramatic accents. For the room's central pieces, stick with timeless choices, like classic wood hues. Classic pieces are versatile enough to fit ever-changing interests and tastes. Use fun bedding, rugs, seating and lights in bold colors to add splashes of your child’s personality without making a big investment in a short-lived trend. Easily remix or replace these smaller items to reflect your child's passions through every phase and fad.
