Make a childhood dream come true with Maurits' DIY project

Looking for inspiration for a unique sleeping and playing space for your child? Then take a look at this beautiful project, realized by Maurits. It combines a bed, a raised play area, and a practical children's desk. All parts were expertly cut to size by OPMAATZAGEN.nl and carefully assembled by Maurits.

Create a personal children's oasis

In a corner of the playful children's room, Maurits has created a multifunctional piece of furniture that feels like a natural extension of the space. The combination of a raised bed and an adjacent play area makes optimal use of the available surface area and creates a cozy corner. The adjoining children's desk in a fresh color is the perfect place for homework and creative projects.

Unique aspects

Maurits' masterpiece consists of a sturdy bed frame with slatted base plus a low, continuous step, which also serves as a raised floor for the play area. The whole is made of untreated wood, which ensures a natural and timeless look. The desk catches the eye with its modern, bright color that contrasts nicely with the rest of the furniture.

The fruits of own creation

This project shows how making your own furniture offers many advantages; the dimensions can be precisely tailored to the space and you have complete freedom to choose the material and finish as desired. In addition, you can often achieve considerable cost savings without compromising on quality or functionality.

Stylish and playful

The style of this project can be described as contemporary with a Scandinavian touch, where the clear lines and natural materials are central. It provides a fresh and calming look that fits perfectly with the experience of children.

MDF Blank 12 mm

MDF of 12 mm thick is ideal for tight and sturdy constructions. It is easy to work and paint, allowing you to give a personal touch to the project.

MDF Blank 22 mm

The substantial thickness of 22 mm MDF provides extra durability and stability, essential for furniture that is used intensively. It forms the solid base of the bed and the play area.

Multiplex Birch B/BB 9 mm

The birch plywood used is lightweight and has a beautiful, finely layered appearance. This contributes to the natural character of the nursery project and makes it robust and charming at the same time.

Step by step guide

Preparation

  • First of all: making a plan. What do we want: A nice and practical children's bed, built in between 2 walls and a sloping roof. Made of pine slats and birch plywood. A raised play area, with a base of MDF and ladder + railing of pine wood. And a children's desk made of lacquered MDF and custom-made in the corner. With the design an order can easily be placed at OPMAATZAGEN.nl.

Montage

  • Everything slightly oversized ordered so that it can be built into the room tightly. The bed is made on a frame of pine beams with pine slats screwed in as a slatted base. The side and end edges of the bed are finished with birch plywood. The frame of the raised play area is screwed to the wall with the ladder screwed in as support. The MDF base is placed in the frame.

Finish

  • The birch multiplex is clear and matt varnished against scratches and stains. A beautiful natural result. The desk and the bottom of the raised play area are varnished in a beautiful green color. Before varnishing, of course, seal the edges of the MDF well for a smooth result.
