Mon Lit Cabane in MILK Magazine: the stylish house bed that makes childhood dreams come true

We’re delighted to share some exciting news: MILK Magazine has featured Mon Lit Cabane in its Design section. In just a few lines, the magazine captures what has inspired us from the very beginning: transforming a bed into a place where children love to play, imagine and grow. We’d like to take this opportunity to introduce you to our house beds and help you choose the right one for your child.

What MILK Magazine loves about Mon Lit Cabane

The magazine begins with a memory many parents will recognise: makeshift dens and teepees built from bedsheets, where every adventure seemed possible. It explains how, since 2017, our French brand has been bringing this childhood dream to life with house-shaped beds designed for children from 18 months old.

Three key features stand out:

*Original design: beds available in an almost endless variety of styles.

*Handcrafted in Europe: models made from FSC-certified wood.

*Inspired by the Montessori approach: designs that encourage independence, allowing children to enjoy a bed at their own height and move freely around their space.

A stylish house bed: what makes the difference?

A well-designed house bed is a statement piece in its own right. Here’s what we believe makes a house bed truly special.

A distinctive silhouette. The pitched roof and little house shape instantly add character to a bedroom, without the need for extra decoration.

Simple, gentle lines. Our designs feature clean, understated shapes that work just as beautifully in a Scandinavian-inspired bedroom as they do in a bohemian or more colourful space.

A choice of finishes. Natural wood, white or soft colours: choose the finish that best complements your room.

Beautiful, natural materials. FSC-certified wood brings warmth, authenticity and durability.

From 18 months: a bed that grows with your child

As the magazine points out, our house beds are available for children from 18 months old. The idea is to avoid having to replace their bed at every stage of childhood.

- For little ones, a floor bed allows children to climb in and out independently, in keeping with the Montessori approach.

- As children grow, a raised bed on legs leaves room underneath for storage drawers or an extra mattress.

- For older children, a mid-sleeper or bunk bed frees up floor space for a desk or a cosy reading corner.

Each model includes its own age recommendations. Always check them here before making your choice.

With or without guard rails, floor-level or raised: almost endless possibilities

This is one of the advantages highlighted by MILK Magazine: our beds come in an almost endless variety of designs. You can choose:

*With or without guard rails, depending on your child's age and independence.

*Floor-level or raised, for a low bed or a more elevated design.

*Single, mid-sleeper or bunk bed, depending on your bedroom layout.

*With or without drawers, to make the most of your storage space.

*In the size that suits your needs, including options for unusual room layouts.

Independence at the heart of our concept

The magazine emphasises that a bed designed at a child's height encourages independence. When children can climb in and out by themselves, reach for a book or arrange their favourite soft toys, they build confidence and make the space their own. This reflects the Montessori approach, which encourages children to learn and develop at their own pace.

How to style a house bed in your child's bedroom

A stylish house bed makes a statement all on its own, but a few thoughtful touches can make it even more special:

*A soft rug at the foot of the bed, creating a cosy spot for playing on the floor.

*A string of fairy lights or star-shaped lights, draped around the frame for a magical, storybook feel.

*Soft textiles: cotton muslin bedding, cosy throws and cushions in natural colours.

*A canopy or curtains to create a snug little hideaway, particularly with teepee-style models.

*A few wooden toys displayed in open baskets, adding to the room's overall look.

Leave some space around the bed to keep the room feeling light and airy.

Stylish house beds: frequently asked questions

From what age can you use a house bed?

Our house beds are available for children from 18 months old. The right model (floor-level, raised or mid-sleeper) depends on your child's age and independence. Always check the recommendations on the product page.

Should I choose a house bed with or without guard rails?

This depends on your child's age and your personal preferences. Guard rails can offer reassurance for younger children, while models without them allow greater independence. We offer both options.

What wood are your beds made from?

Our beds are handcrafted in Europe using FSC-certified wood.

Is a house bed suitable for a small bedroom?

Yes, provided you choose the right size. A compact floor bed or a model with drawers can help you make the most of your space. Always measure the available room before ordering.

Can I find a house bed for two children?

Yes! We offer bunk beds and double beds, ideal for shared bedrooms.
