A floor DIY house bed is a great transition bed from a crib to a big kid's bed. It is also incredibly beautiful. There are plenty of those beds on the market, but as much as they are beautiful, they also break the bank. I gathered together free DIY plans for the Montessori floor house bed in this post. I hope you will find an easy plan to follow and make it yourself. It's an amazingly rewarding project.

Also, I'd like to show you some inspiration for decorating this adorable bed.

Pastel toddler bedroom

This bed was with us for a wonderful two years. My kids love it! Image by IfOnlyApril

I made this floor house bed a few years back in full size. I wrote about the process here. And here, you can find plans for a Montessori house bed in full size.

This is the bed that I recently made for a client in twin size. I wrote a detailed tutorial with plans here. You can also watch it on YouTube. You can get printable plans for the twin-size floor bed here.

If you like floor beds, you can also check out this twin floor bed with rails that I recently made. Get a printable plan to make a build a breeze.

Twin-size floor house bed

Noelle shows how she made a twin-size Montessori floor bed and offers a free plan on her blog Oh Happy Play.

Toddler house bed from Jen Woodhouse

Jen made this cool DIY toddler house bed. It's not a Montessori style, it's a regular bed, which means it's not on the floor, but it still looks fantastic and she has free plans to download.

I like the design in that she uses metal brackets to secure it. This way bed becomes stronger and can be easily disassembled if needed. I'll make a mental note about that for the future in case I'll decide to make another one ;D

House frame bed

Amy from "Her tool belt" made a full-size house bed that is a bit elevated from the floor and has rails, but it's so easily modified to suit your needs. She also shares a detailed plan for making this bed on her blog.

Crib-sized house bed

Image by Leggins'n'Lattes

Amber from Leggings 'N' Lattes made a crib-sized house bed since her daughter was out of the crib, but they didn't want to get a bigger mattress yet. I think it looks incredible!

She explains the process and shows you the exact cuts you need to make this bed.

DIY kid's house bed

Image by Woodshop Diaries

I recently came across Woodshop Diaries and I adore what Shara does. She recently made this excellent house bed for a friend, and I think it's just amazing!

Plans from Etsy

There are a few plans to make this bed that you can buy on Etsy for a symbolic sum.

It's full-size, but they also have a plan for a twin-sized bed.

Image by MatyaDesigns

This bed looks great. They offer a detailed plan on how to build it yourself. They have significant variations and different sizes, so it's worth considering if you decide to make it yourself.

 

If you'd rather buy

If you'd instead buy than make it yourself, there are so many beautiful floor house beds.

The Montessori bed store has Montessori beds with a lifetime warranty on parts. And it looks fantastic.

The Montessori bed

I love this Pottery Barn kid's Camden house bed. It looks simply gorgeous! WestElm also has a house floor bed on sale, which comes in full size!

Check Overstock and their Frannibrook house bed frame for the more affordable option!

Even Amazon has a few. I'm not sure how they ship it but this gorgeous twin-size house bed, for example, has a 5-star review.

ETSY has various house floor beds in different sizes and shapes.

I love this adorable bed, which also comes in all sizes.

Here are a few more beds you can purchase if you don't have time to make your own!

Decorating floor house bed

Garlands

It's so much fun to decorate this bed! Let me show you some of my favorites.

I prefer a minimalist style, so I used white lace that falls through the whole bed. I found this lace on AliExpress, and even though I didn't like it very much at first, it grew on me, and now I love it!

I added handmade felt clouds on a string since the room theme is clouds.

It was a straightforward project that could be done in an hour while watching TV. Just cut felt like a cloud, sew it, leave a little hole, and stuff it with toy stuffing.

If you'd prefer to buy, there are plenty of options on Etsy.

I love it when felt garlands are used on this bed. It adds some sort of feeling of lightness when you see it.

Canopy 

If you ask me, the canopy is what really makes it for me! It adds so much flair and gives a child a feeling of security and being tucked in the bed.

As I mentioned before, I got mine from AliExpress, but there is so many gorgeous canopies on the market!

West Elm has a very affordable canopy in white and beautiful mustard color. It would be perfect for a twin-size floor house bed.

My absolute favorite one from Numero 74! It's made from 100% linen and looks divine!

And here is a more affordable but still gorgeous one from Amazon!

So many options to decorate!!!

Painting my heart away 😅 since we moved to this Painting my heart away 😅 since we moved to this house a year ago, it's been a journey, and tons of paint involved.

I wish I could say I love painting walls. I don't. I love a fabulous transformations though. So the pain is validated. 

Considering I'm a single mom of two kids and  a dog (that is heavier than my both kids combined and quite a handful), I'd say I'll need another 2 years to paint all the rooms as I planned. 

What's your estimate?

If anyone needs a reminder - you are still here af If anyone needs a reminder - you are still here after all the sh*t you had to go through, and it's worth celebrating! I'm proud of you! 

So often we look at people through social media, admiring them, admiring their life, without realizing what is actually going on behind the scenes. 

Last few years has been an emotional rollercoaster for me. After being in an abusive relationship for years, being constantly gaslighted  that made me question my sanity, I thought I was going crazy. I've found the truth. Truth can set you free. I wasn't the crazy one after all. I just didn't trust my gut and chose to ignore it while it was screaming at me that I'm being played. 

It taught me a lesson. I didn't know I was going to go through something like this, and oh my, I had very low scary points during all that. But now I have awareness. And the biggest lesson I've learnt is to trust my gut.

You are strong! You can get through whatever life (or some assholes throw at you) 😘 in case you didn't hear it from anyone today 😊

It's definitely has been a journey. Journey of sel It's definitely has been a journey. Journey of self discovery, healing childhood trauma, learning how to let go. 

The hardest part was to live in a fantasy world. Where I felt for years that something was off but my every concern was met with me being called crazy. 

I wasn't crazy after all. And truth can set you free. 
I'm in a happy place now. 

Finally. 

I remember who I am.
