How to Choose the Best Bunk Bed Design Bunk beds are a fun addition to a shared kids' bedroom or a guest room. They can also provide additional storage and make a space appear larger. Some bunk beds are equipped with ladders, which Fenton says are more comfortable to climb than stairways. Others have trundles at the bottom for extra sleepovers. Some can even fit full and twin XL mattresses, making them ideal for older kids and adults as well. 1. Keeping It Simple A bunk bed does not have to be the feature in the room. In fact, it's more beneficial to keep it as a background feature that allows other elements such as artwork, storage and other furniture to be the center of attention. This basic bunk bed design, featuring beds that have matching footboards and headboards, is a fantastic example. A lot of bunk beds are built into the wall. This makes them appear less as an addition, and more like permanent fixtures in the room. However, even though built-in bunks look stunning but you can also find gorgeous freestanding designs. This one is constructed out of wood, but it utilizes pipe fittings to build the railing and the ladder. You can build a similar structure using the Single Socket Tee, Flange Elbow and 90 Degree Elbow fittings from Kee Klamp. Bunk beds are the ideal solution for a shared bedroom, particularly in a smaller home. To maximize space, you can consider a staggered design that sleeps two people in the top bed but leaves plenty of open floor space below for play, studying and storage. This bunk bed with an L-shaped shape, for instance, has plenty of space beneath the lower bed, and provides enough nooks for each kid to set up a side table — something that might not work as well with conventional built-in bunk beds. 2. Adding Extra Storage Innovative storage solutions can transform your sleeping area into a chic and functional space, no matter if you choose to build bunk beds from scratch or buy a ready-made model. These handy accessories include stair-side cabinets that provide a practical place to store clothing and other items without sacrificing the aesthetic appeal of a bunk bed design, and wall-mounted shelves that are ideal for storing toys, books, and decorative items. Drawers that fit under the frame are a great way to add more storage space to a bunkbed. These small compartments can be used to store out-of-season clothing, extra bedding, or even books and blankets. They are hidden and don't interfere with the aesthetics of the bedroom. If you want to make your bunk bed more efficient, consider models that incorporate desk space into the bottom bunk. This is a great choice for teens' bedrooms, but also works well in smaller rooms. And, if you're not able to find enough desk space, you could consider placing a table that is freestanding near the bunks to provide an extra spot to work or study. You can also consider a staggered bed, which allows three kids to be accommodated in a compact space by putting two twin beds on top of the full-size bed. 3. Adding a Workstation Bunk beds aren't just for children; they can be great for adults, too. Bunk beds are an excellent way to make space and add a fun element to your space. With a few simple upgrades, you can make your bunk bed feel more individual and blend with the design style of your room. One of the best benefits of bunk beds is that they can serve as a workspace or desk. This is an excellent option for kids that are entering school and require a place to do their homework or study. Most bunk beds come with an integrated table and you can lay it out for your child to work on, and then put it back when they're finished. Consider using the Kee Klamp Kit to add a modern workspace to your bunk bed. This rustic loft bed comes with twin-over-queen-sized loft beds with a black ladder, as well as an integrated workspace beneath, complete with a table that is full length with a wood-look divider and convenient shelving. 4. Add a Princess Themed Bed Bunk beds are a fun addition to any kid's room whether for siblings or guests on occasion. As they are usually the central point of the room, you'll want them to be beautiful. To ensure that your bunks fit into the space and aesthetic of the other rooms begin by measuring your space and determining the largest dimensions you can achieve. Be sure to consider the height of your ceiling, particularly in the case of children in the top bunk because this could be a risk for young children (especially in the event that a ceiling fan is nearby). Many of our favorite bunk beds can be converted into two beds to accommodate the needs of your growing child. This twin-over-full bed, for instance, is constructed of a sturdy, easy design and comes with four different finishes so you can easily choose one that will complement your child's room decor. If you're looking for a bunk that's both playful and functional take a look at this twin-over-full design that features a built-in slide. You can add a trundle on the bottom for sleepovers, or simply make the upper bunk an entertainment area with a pullout TV stand. The solid wood construction of this bunk with a timeless design and timeless style will make it appear cool even when your kids reach teens or tweens. 5. Keep It Neutral Bunk beds offer the opportunity to create a practical and a child-friendly room. One of the simplest methods to do this is to keep your color palette neutral. This bunk bed blends traditional and modern features in neutral shades of blue, gray and white that will not date as your child grows older. It has a drawer under the lower bunk that can be used to store a twin trundle that can be used for sleepovers. This is a great option for a shared room for two children. Pastels are a fantastic option for bunk rooms because they provide the excitement of color, but keep things stylish and trendy. Kelly Hartley of Hartley Home designed this bunk room with a blend of pale greens, smokey grays and cloud whites to create a calm appearance. The bedding with the same color palette can be used to bring the room together. Children (and parents) alike will appreciate the look. It is crucial to consider how you'll use the space when choosing a bunkbed. Choose a loft bed with chairs and a desk built underneath to give your children's beds with a more elegant appearance. This classic wood bunk bed designed by @bluedreamslady features a storage area which is large enough to store extra books and toys. 6. Add a splash of Color The majority of bunk beds are made for elementary school children. However adults can also benefit from this space-saving solution. A bunk bed is a fantastic option for an elegant adult's bedroom, particularly if the design is toned down and has a minimal color scheme. For example, this West Elm x Pottery Barn mid-century modern twin bunk bed will look beautiful in a neutral space with lots of natural wood and white furniture. Bunk beds work in any type of room, including attics and bonus rooms with high ceilings that are slanted. Marnie Custom Homes' custom-built design is best for rooms that have an unusual shape. However DIY solutions can be fashionable. Just make sure you choose a sturdy, custom-built bunk bed that has built-in railings that will prevent bruises and bumps while climbing the stairs to the top. A bunk bed can be used to create an enjoyable theme for a child's bedroom. Create a woodland retreat for boys or girls with trees and woodland creatures, or add some vibrant hues with a nautical design. A Scandi-inspired bunk bed could be sleek and modern with the shades of blue, grey, and white, as seen in this gorgeous new holiday home by Georgina Jeffries. 7. Mixing it up Bunk beds aren't just intended for kids' rooms. In fact, a fashionable bunk bed could be a great option for a bedroom for adults. Be aware of the overall appearance of the space when picking the best bunk beds. There are a variety of styles to pick from, including classic, bohemian, and coastal, so take the time to find the one that works best with your style. Play around with the design of your room and see how you can incorporate the bunk bed into your room. If you have a queen-over-queen bunk bed put an upholstered bench at the foot of the mattress below. Bunk Beds Store will provide a space for relaxing, reading or both. It can also help visually divide the two bunk beds. Another way to make your bunk bed feel more adult is to swap out an old ladder in favor of a staircase. This instantly gives the room a sophisticated appearance, and it's an option that is safer for older children. You can also decorate the staircase to match the theme of your child's bedroom, such as this nautical bedroom designed by Raili Clasen.
