The beauty of decorating with solid wood captains beds is that they open the room up when children are in shared spaces. In addition to creating separate sleeping areas, these captain's beds help develop a division in the room beautifully and without creating clutter. If you choose to keep the twin beds their original finish with a clear coat, you can easily incorporate them into the room’s theme. However, you can also paint a solid wood finish to match the room’s finish as well.
