How to Choose the Best Bunk Bed Design Bunk beds are a space-saving and comfortable solution for sleeping in rooms for children. They're also an excellent choice for guest rooms or vacation homes where the ceilings are high, but the floor space is small. The right combination of features transforms bunk beds into fashionable sleeping spaces. The bunks in this ocean-themed bedroom were handpainted with Porter's Paints 'Mariner', which complemented the room's color palette. Space-Saving Bunk beds are great for accommodating families of all sizes, or two children in the same space. They save space by stacking a bed frame on top another. This arrangement frees up floor space for play and other furniture and is a great solution for rooms that are cramped or lofted spaces that require more sleeping arrangements. Bunk beds come in different styles, from sleek modern metal to classic wood designs. Some also have a built-in staircase that minimizes the footprint of the structure. A spiral staircase is a fantastic alternative for those with a small bedroom. An integrated set of steep steps is perfect for homes with a limited space in storage. Bunk beds are an excellent way to add design and color to an space. neutral colors such as light grey and navy are a stylish option for bunk beds. For a little more design you can jazz up the neutral scheme by adding themed decor. For example a bunk room that is that is inspired by adventure could be decorated to resemble a forest hideout or a cloud-themed space. If you want to add a few bright colors, try selecting brighter colors for the top bunk, and more neutral shades for the bottom bunk. If you're building a bunk area from scratch, it's important to think about the way that the layout will affect your space. Draw out the design of your bunk beds with blue painter's taps on the wall. Then, take a measurement of the distance between them and any fixed features, such as doors, windows, or closets. This will give you a better idea of how close the bed will be to the other furniture and help you choose the appropriate size frame for your space. Once you've picked the design of your bunk you like, think about adding other functional features. Ms. Keenan, for example is a frequent user of an reading lamp with a switch in each bunk. It's a great way to allow each kid to read quietly without disturbing the person who is above them. She also likes to add small ledges on each bunk, so that kids can place glasses or books. Comfortable Climbing Even the most adventurous kids won't sleep in a high-rise when climbing up and down feels difficult or unsafe. “The most important thing is to make sure the bunk bed has an adequate ladder that's connected to the bunk's side,” says interior designer Brynne Flowers, founder of John Martine in Salt Lake City. They may not be as space-efficient but they are the safest option for children who are young. The best option is a fixed ladder that has simple rungs that attach to the side of the bed. The ladders that are angled, which can be more attainable than straight ones, may work better for older kids and teens. Make sure you test out the bunk with blue painter's tape to determine how close it comes to any fixed features such as windows or doors, and that there's enough room to walk around. Another great option is an inbuilt staircase that connects to the bottom bunk, or under each mattress on the upper and lower levels. They are generally the most secure and large, however they may require more setup time than a freestanding ladder. “Look for stairs that have sturdy, wide rails for stairways, and an angled, low step,” advises child safety expert Dr. Moriarty, who also suggests that bunk beds are supported by wood slats rather than wire or thin boards to prevent accidents. For a bunk that will grow with kids, look for one with an adjustable trundle. This will allow you to have a second bed in your bedroom for sleepovers or guests without taking up any extra space. Trundles can only be used if the bottom bunk of your room is a twin. A favourite of both Fenton and writer Alex Morris, the Oeuf Perch bunk is a modern option that is divided into two beds: a loft and a standard twin bed. Fenton says it's the “heaviest” pick on our list. It's “built to last.” The sleek design looks stylish and doesn't seem too childish for teens The beds can be separated later if kids decide they don't want a bunk anymore. Flexibility When it comes to bunk bed designs, the possibilities are endless. You can easily add style but not sacrifice the functionality of these beds, whether you're designing for a kid' room, a primary bedroom, or even a guest room. Bunk beds are a great option to create an eye-catching focal point, play space, or storage solution. Your bunk beds can become a focal feature, based on the overall design of your room. Bunk beds are available in a variety of styles, finishes, colors and materials. Many bunk beds are available in various styles, from bohemian to coastal to sombre. Pick a theme or fabric and mix it with curtains, pillows, and artwork to give your children's bedroom an appearance that matches their personality. The ladder on a bunk bed could make a huge difference in the way the room appears. Most bunk beds have an adjustable ladder. Some can be purchased with the ladder either side of the short end. Bunks that have the ladder on the short end can leave the lower bunk unlocked which makes it suitable for adults. It also creates a minimalist appearance. Another option is to consider an alternative shape for your bunks, like an L-shaped version. Gil says that these bunks are ideal for rooms with low ceilings and make use of less space. These bunks can be outfitted with a small desk underneath. This is a great choice for children who want to study in their bed. You can also select a bunk that is custom-built with stairs built right into the frame. made a post of bunks are typically used in hotels and are considered to be the most “grown-up” option available on the market. Room & Board offers a variety of colors and incredibly durable bunk beds. There are also convertible bunks that can be converted from twin-overtwin to a full-size bed or vice versa. These can be a good choice for older siblings who do not wish to share their rooms or parents who have to accommodate guests. Storage Depending on the design, bunk beds can offer plenty of storage space for clothes and bedding. Look for designs with shelves or drawers that are built into the structure, or standalone units on either side of the beds. These kinds of options are especially beneficial in small rooms as they maximize the unused space and ensure that the bunks don't feel unorganized or cramped. Some manufacturers incorporate built-in storage within the bed itself like this Oeuf Perch bunk that offers two large storage compartments on each side of the loft. These designs are great for families with siblings sharing a room since each child can keep their personal belongings close to hand, while also preventing the common piles of belongings. In addition to drawers and shelves, other clever bunk bed designs include incorporating storage into the headboards. The addition of baskets or bins to the ends of the headboards keep books within easy reach and makes reading at night much more enjoyable and more enjoyable. This method is also useful in bedrooms that are shared, since children can keep their favorite books organized and easily accessible. Another option is to incorporate an integrated ladder into the bunks. This option eliminates the need for an additional furniture piece and gives it a sleeker look. However, it's important to be aware that angled ladders can be more challenging for younger children to climb, and this kind of bunk is typically reserved for older children or teenagers. Bunk beds are a great option for any space, even attics and bonus rooms with odd shapes. A custom-built bunk bed is a good option for these spaces. If you're planning to build a bunk from scratch, think about the height of your ceiling and the height above it. A higher ceiling will allow for a taller bunk, while a lower ceiling will limit the size of the bunk below it. While the ideal bunk for children's needs will be contingent on the child's age, a bunk can also be a good option for adults who want to save space and add a touch of style to a guest bedroom. The stylish bunk from Max & Lily is available in several finishes and separates into a twin-sized bed as well as a full-size bed, so it's an alternative to standard furniture for bedrooms.
