STEAM Learning for Kids: A Parent’s Guide to Playful Education
5 Min Read
There’s something truly special about the moment your little one takes their first big step, from cot to “big kid” bed. It’s a milestone filled with excitement (and maybe a few happy tears), symbolising newfound independence, freedom, and the start of new adventures.
To make that transition as smooth and beautiful as possible, Oliver Furniture has expanded its beloved Wood Original series with two stunning new designs: the Wood Original House Bed and the Wood Original Floor Bed.
Thoughtfully crafted for toddlers ready to move beyond the cot, these beds combine timeless Danish design with child-centred functionality, creating a safe, stylish, and inspiring space for little ones to grow, play, and dream.
Both new beds in the Wood Original collection are designed with the youngest members of the family in mind, those first years where confidence, curiosity, and independence begin to bloom.
The low bed height makes it easy for children around two years old to climb in and out safely, encouraging autonomy while giving parents peace of mind. No more late-night acrobatics or high bed frames to navigate — just a gentle, grounded design that feels perfectly in tune with your child’s stage of development.
And because Oliver Furniture never compromises on comfort, both models share the same generous 90 x 200 cm dimensions. That means plenty of space for stretching, snuggling, and storytime side by side with mum or dad.
With its charming peaked frame and warm white/oak finish, the Wood Original House Bed (£1,379) is the stuff of childhood dreams. It’s more than just a place to sleep — it’s a space to imagine, play, and create magical memories.
This clever design transforms easily from a sleep haven into a mini playhouse by day, inviting little ones to build forts, host tea parties, or read beneath a canopy of fairy lights.
To make the bed even more enchanting, Oliver Furniture has introduced two new house bed accessories:
House Bed Canopy (£68) – a crisp, minimalist fabric canopy that gives the bed a soft, sheltered feel.
House Bed Tent (£149) – a slightly more structured option that turns the bed into a cosy den for daydreaming and play.
Each accessory is designed to reflect your child’s personality and add a personal touch to their room, making it a space that truly feels their own.
For families embracing Montessori-inspired living, the Wood Original Floor Bed (£969) is a dream come true.
Set low to the ground, it allows even the smallest sleepers to get in and out independently, helping nurture a sense of confidence and control over their environment. This design supports the idea that children thrive when their surroundings are accessible and empowering — especially during those early developmental years.
And just like the rest of the Wood Original range, the Floor Bed is crafted from sustainably sourced birch and oak, finished in non-toxic, water-based paint, and made to the exceptional standards Oliver Furniture is known for.
One of the most remarkable things about Oliver Furniture’s designs is their adaptability. The new House Bed and Floor Bed aren’t just beautiful — they’re part of a long-term investment in quality and longevity.
Each bed can easily be converted into other models within the Wood Original series using Oliver’s conversion kits. So as your child grows — from toddler to teen — their bed can grow right along with them.
That means you’re not just buying a piece of furniture; you’re choosing a companion for years of growth, learning, and imaginative play.
Of course, safety comes first. For families who want a little extra reassurance at night, both beds can be paired with the Wood Original Bed Guard (sold separately). This simple, elegant addition offers peace of mind without compromising the clean, modern aesthetic Oliver Furniture is known for.
Every detail — from the soft edges to the white-oiled oak legs — has been carefully designed to balance safety, sustainability, and style. The result is furniture that feels both contemporary and timeless, fitting seamlessly into any home.
At PlayFaire, we’ve always adored Oliver Furniture’s ability to blend form and function so effortlessly. The new Wood Original beds embody everything we love about the brand: craftsmanship, sustainability, and an intuitive understanding of family life.
They’re designed for real homes — places where play, mess, giggles, and bedtime stories all coexist. And like every Oliver Furniture piece, they’re built to last, with durability that ensures they’ll be cherished by siblings or even passed down through generations.
These new arrivals are more than just furniture — they’re the backdrop to childhood.
As your little one takes that exciting first step out of the cot and into their own bed, Oliver Furniture’s new designs provide the perfect start — gentle, secure, and endlessly inspiring.
From morning play to bedtime stories, the Wood Original House Bed and Floor Bed transform everyday routines into moments of joy, creativity, and connection.
Because every big dream starts in a little bed.
The much loved Oliver Furniture dresser has had a make over with its softly rounded edges, adding a cozy and natural vibe to any nursery.
