The duplex-twin size bed invites after-school lounging; it pulls out at night and converts to two separate beds for overnight guest use (an important plus when the young hostess plans a pajama party). The custom-made bed frame features a corner storage unit which doubles as a nightstand; bedding is stored behind hinged panel of the back section. Cotton coverlet and vinyl upholstered swivel chair typify today's trend in youngsters' rooms toward rugged materials which not only require less maintenance but wear a lot longer, too.
This bedroom belongs to two sisters. The girls enjoy identical furnishings neatly arranged on opposite sides of the room. Double chests separate individual belongins and encourage neatness while two built-in drawers in the base of each bed accommodate overflow storage. A real space-saving trick: footboard of each bed extends to become a desk. Refreshing color scheme and distinctive pattern harmony can carry two girls happily from tots to teens.
This room signals the fact that here is a boy who's definitely growing up. No weak-kneed pastels or fancy furbelows anywhere. Instead, a sleek masculine atmosphere warmed with a background of teak paneling. The bed masquerades as a sofa with mattress and bolsters covered in a leopard print to match padded swivel chairs. Low divider serves as a headboard-nightstand; it helps ease the storage problem, along with open shelves on the end wall.
The action side of this converted attic room answers every boy's dream of a study, hobby and music center combined. The work counter with practical plastic laminated surface extends the length of the room and provides ample space for such gear as ham radio, tape recorder and telescope. Felt-covered walls with matching window shades offer a posting place for an array of souvenirs.
Walnut-stained paneling idetifies this room as all boy. Shared by two brothers, it can be used long after both boys reach adulthood. The plastic laminated desk, suspended in a framework of 2x4s, injects a not of bright color against the wood tones; it also doubles as a hobby counter. Closets flank the study area - one for clothing and the other for sports and hobby equipment. Another color note: closet doors are covered with green felt and accented with molding strips.
Fiesta red ignites this bedroom and satisfies a child's natural appetite for bold, bright colors. The painted furniture - as fanciful in design as a young girl's daydreams - launches the color scheme which features accents of pale pink and avocado green to temper the incendiary hue. Another cooling influence: the vinyl wall covering in a simulated wood panelled pattern.
The happy mood of this room is helped by a sparkling window treatment - beautiful plastic beads. Individual droplets are pemanently bonded to a nylon cord which can be cut to fit any height. The beads also allow light and air to circulate freely.
Color-coordinated bulletin boards of fiberboard are sheathed in fabric which is stapled to the back. Boards are then nailed directly to the wall.
Perforated hardboard - a perennial favorite with youngsters who want to show off their special treasures - is a parent-pleaser, too, because it motivates tidy habits. Two brothers use this niche for study and hobbies. A divider aids concentration; counter top of plastic-coated hardboard provides a durable work surface. Another practical feature: bunk beds coccupy half the floor space, of two single beds and youngsters love sleeping Pullman style.
