Should You Get a Painted Toy Chest?
Categorized: Toys | No comments
Toy chests are primarily used for storing toys. However, just because they are functional doesn’t mean they can’t be works of art. You can have both a beautiful toy box and a functional one, if you know where to look.
A painted toy chest adds style to any room. However, there are some differences between the qualities of painted toy boxes. If you can afford it, a hand painted toy box is especially beautiful. But a more main stream one can also be nice.
Hand painting is always beautiful, but it comes at a price. You can expect to pay twice as much, if not more, for a hand painted toy box. This is because it takes a lot longer to make. However, it does have a few advantages. You will be able to get an original design, even if you buy one that is already pre-made. If you are willing to wait a bit, you can get a design that matches your nursery perfectly. In fact, you can even buy unfinished toy chests and have them painted to match a mural on your wall. The same artist could paint both!
But if your budget is slightly smaller, you still have plenty of good options. There are some manufacturers who make beautiful painted toy boxes. These are produced in higher volume, but they still look nice. For example, Levels of Discovery makes a few different designs, all of them lovely. You can even find character painted toy chests, like this Little Tikes Thomas toy box.
You do have consider some aspects of safety while looking at these toy chests, especially hand made ones. Make sure that there are no sharp edges. Also, make sure that the hinges are slow closing. This prevents the lid from falling on your child’s head.
Searching for the right toy box for your child can take some time. But if you are willing to look hard for the perfect design, you’ll be certain to find it!
