Top 2025 Trends: Beds for Kids

Kids’ bedrooms in 2025 are all about balance: creating stylish spaces that are fun, practical, and ready to grow with your child.

Choosing the best kids beds plays a huge role in creating the ultimate room. From adaptable designs like bunk beds and cabin beds to solid, timeless single beds, the trends for this year reflect what families really need: clever use of space, long-lasting quality, and a look that suits both kids and parents.

At Millie & Jones, you’ll find a wide range of kids beds and children’s beds designed with these ideas in mind. That means children's beds that work hard, look great, and help keep bedrooms feeling calm and organised.

Smarter storage built into children's beds

One of the biggest trends for 2025 is storage that’s part of the bed itself. With so many families trying to make the most of small spaces, storage beds that offer built-in drawers, shelving, or even hidden cupboards make a real difference.

Our collection includes mid sleeper beds with pull-out desks and shelves to bunk beds with under-bed storage, there are plenty of clever options to suit different room sizes. Our designs use solid wood and durable materials, giving parents peace of mind that their child’s bed is built to last.

Bunk beds for shared rooms and small spaces

Bunk beds are always a favourite when it comes to beds for kids, but this year’s designs are packed with extra features. Families are looking for bunks that do more than just stack sleeping spaces, and want to get even more bang for their buck.

Expect to see bunk beds with integrated desks, built in storage, and even detachable bunk bed options that separate into single beds later; these are perfect for a child transition as your kids grow older or move to their own rooms.

Millie & Jones offers bunk beds that fit a UK standard single mattress, come with a sturdy ladder or stairs for safe access to the top bunk, and provide that all-important floor space for play or study. These designs suit everything from younger children sharing a room to older kids needing their own corner.

Cabin beds as space-saving solutions

Cabin beds are one of the most versatile bed types for 2025. Combining a raised sleeping space with plenty of storage space underneath, these beds help you cut down on the need for extra furniture, look cool, and offer enough room for extra room for storage, or even a desk.

Great for small rooms or awkward layouts, cabin beds often include pull-out desks, drawers, and shelves—giving your child a dedicated study space without taking over the whole room. Designs made from high quality materials like solid wood provide durability through the teenage years, while neutral finishes suit changing tastes.

Pink beds that bring fun and personality

For children who want their bedroom to feel playful and personal, a pink bed can be the perfect choice. Soft blush tones, dusty pinks, and even bold bubblegum shades can help create a room that feels cheerful and welcoming. For a bunk bed for siblings, a cabin bed with extra storage, or mid sleepers with pull-out desks, pink fits beautifully into designs where you want to add a splash of fun without overwhelming the space.

Many Millie & Jones pink bed styles come with built-in drawers, shelves, or other clever storage options—ideal for smaller rooms where keeping things organised matters and you want the room to look pretty (and tidy) in pink.

Toddler beds that make growing up easy

When it’s time to move from a cot bed to a first child’s bed, families are looking for designs that feel safe and comfortable while helping ease that transition.

Toddler beds in 2025 are focusing on low heights, rounded edges, and optional guard rails. Many are designed to work with a UK standard single mattress, so they’re easy to fit out and refresh as needed. Solid construction helps parents feel confident their little one is supported during this big step.

Millie & Jones offers beds that help make the switch from cot beds to toddler beds a smooth process, ideal for little ones finding their bedtime independence. From the perfect-sized toddler bed to specifically designed beds for kids aged 4+, you'll find the perfect option for your little ones in our range.

Day beds that double up for sleepovers

Day beds are gaining popularity as families look for flexible beds for kids that work for both sleeping and daytime use, particularly for smaller bedrooms, flats, or non-traditional room shapes. These beds often include a trundle or pull-out design, giving you an extra bed ready for guests without needing permanent extra furniture.

Perfect for shared spaces, spare rooms, or kids who love to host friends, day beds made from solid wood provide durability along with that fresh, stylish look.

Black beds for a modern, versatile look

Black is fast becoming a favourite for beds for kids, especially in shared or teenage bedrooms where families want a style that’s easy to coordinate. A black bed frame adds a sleek, modern edge to any child’s room, working just as well with bright pops of colour as it does with more neutral schemes.

From bunk beds to high sleepers, black finishes tend to hide minor scuffs (ideal for busy spaces where sticky fingers and playtime are part of the deal). They also work well with metal or solid wood builds, offering both style and long-lasting performance. Another benefit is that they pretty much go with anything; so even if the wall colour, accessories and bed covers change, the frame will still match.

Natural finishes and solid wood choices

In line with broader home decor trends, families in 2025 are gravitating towards beds for kids made with solid wood, neutral tones, and simple shapes. These materials not only look great but also offer long-lasting performance, resisting the wear and tear of everyday use.

Solid pine, oak, and natural wood finishes are all popular picks for children’s beds, creating a cosy, natural atmosphere that works with a wide range of décor styles. Plus, these beds are easy to pair with matching bedroom furniture as your child’s needs change.

Beds that support creative play

Kids’ bedrooms in 2025 aren’t just for sleep! Parents are choosing bed types that leave room for imagination, play, and creativity. Think bunk beds that double as dens, cabin beds with nooks for building and reading, or high sleepers that open up the floor for play kitchens or art corners.

Beds with integrated features like pull out desks, built-in shelves, and space for toys help you create a room that works for every part of your child’s day.

We've built a whole range of themed children's beds to help foster active imaginations. Create a magical child's room with ease with one of our treehouse, car, carriage or canopy beds, with a fun bed frame paired with sturdy materials and safety features.
