What can be done from a crib: racks, tables, sides, other ideas

The main feature of children's furniture is that it rarely has time to wear out. Yesterday, the crib might have seemed too big, but today it’s time to change it to a new, more spacious one. And at the same time, it’s also necessary to solve the problem with the old one, which is a pity to throw away and have nowhere to store. But if you connect the imagination ...

Best ideas for remaking a crib

It is enough to remove just one of the side walls and take a fresh look at the result. Perhaps in front of parents is the future sofa for the nursery. Or a table. Or maybe a bookcase or organizer. If the bed is completely disassembled and forget about its purpose, then it is quite possible to see the options for using as adult devices: a clothes dryer on the balcony, an organizer in the kitchen, a luxurious chair for the summer the veranda. Or "spare parts" to the parent's bed.

How to make bumpers for a large bed

The spectacular headboard can not only complement, but also significantly refresh the interior of the bedroom. All that is needed to create it is:

• The sides of the crib;
• Drill;
• Screwdriver or screwdriver;
• Self-tapping screws or confirmations (it is not necessary to buy, these spare parts are already there);
• Paints, accessories and 30 minutes of free time.

The gradual process of rebirth is as follows:

Beads try on to the bed. Mounting points are marked. Drill holes for fasteners. If there is a need for painting, then the sides are taken out to fresh air, refined and left there until completely dry.

Acrylic paint dries no more than a couple of hours. Structural elements are brought in and attached to the bed. Voila.

A lattice headboard is a good basis for implementing bold design ideas. It can be draped with cloth or left in its original form. It is easy to attach several pillows to the garters.

You can make a cover to match the bedspread of upholstery. And the most interesting thing is that any subsequent change to such a headboard takes a matter of minutes.

Crib Tables

What can be done from a crib? Transforming old furniture, among other things, is also a good way to save on acquiring new ones. The child is growing and he needs a table. At least one game. And it is easy to do it:

• The crib is disassembled;
• Holes are drilled on the racks of the end walls with an interval of 10 cm (the countdown starts from the available mounting points);
• One sidewall is handed to mom (let it turn into an organizer), and the remaining elements are twisted back, taking into account the necessary height of the working surface.

The charm of such a table is versatility. It can be done higher as the child grows. You can change the angle of inclination of the cover. Or equip a drawing board, turning the old crib into an interesting corner for learning and entertainment. If the structure is slightly strengthened and supplemented with another shelf, then you will get a serving table.

Crib shelving

To make such practical furniture you will need:

• Drill;
• Screwdriver;
• Self-tapping screws;
• Hacksaw;
• Tape measure and pencil;
• Several sheets of plywood and mounting corners.

The crib is disassembled. Only sidewalls and a bottom will be needed, which will play the role of the back wall. The assembly process of the rack is carried out in several stages:

1. The legs of the bed are sawed off, the height (now the width) of the sides and the width of the back wall are measured.
2. Focusing on the result of measurements, shelves are cut out of plywood.
3. Structural elements are connected using corners.
4. New furniture is painted, decorated and a roomy shelf is ready for use.
5. If desired, a drawer for soft toys can be placed on the lower shelf.
6. And the sides of such furniture easily turn into a convenient storage for various little things. It is enough to equip it with pockets and hooks.
