Best Bunk Bed Design: It’s Not As Expensive As You Think
How to Choose the Best Bunk Bed Design
Bunk beds can be a great option for a shared kids bedroom or guest room. They can also offer extra storage space and make a room appear larger.
Some bunks come with ladders (which Fenton says are easier to climb than stairs) and some have trundles that allow for additional sleepovers. Some are even able to accommodate twin and full size mattresses, so they’re great for older kids and adults too.
1. Keep It Simple
A bunk bed doesn’t need to be the focal point in the room; in fact, it’s often better to keep it as a background feature that allows other elements like storage, artwork and other furniture to be the center of attention. This simple bunk design- which features beds with headboards that match and footboards -is a great illustration.
A lot of bunk beds are built as part of the wall, which makes them feel less of an accessory and more like an element that is a permanent fixture in the room. Although built-in beds may look gorgeous, there are still gorgeous freestanding designs. This one, for example is made of wood yet utilizes pipe fittings to make the ladder and railing. You can build a similar structure using the Single Socket Tee, Flange Elbow and 90 Degree Elbow fittings from Kee Klamp.
Bunk beds can be the ideal solution for a shared child’s bedroom, especially in a smaller home. To maximize space, consider a staggered design that sleeps two people in the top bed, but leaves plenty of floor space below for playing and studying as well as storage.

2. Adding Extra Storage
Innovative storage solutions can transform your sleeping area into a stylish and functional space, whether you decide to build bunk beds yourself or buy a ready-made model. These include stair cabinets which can be used to store clothes or other items without compromising the aesthetics of a bunkbed design. They also come with shelves on the wall to store books, toys, and other decorative things.
Drawers that can be tucked under the frame are another great way to add more storage space to a bunkbed. These compartments are ideal to store out-of-season clothing, extra bedding or even blankets and books. They are hidden and won’t hinder the design of the bedroom.
Find models with a desk integrated into the bottom bunk, if you want your bunk bed to be more efficient. This is a great option for bedrooms of teenagers and also works in smaller rooms. And, if you’re short on desk space, you could consider placing a table that is freestanding near the bunks to provide an extra spot to work and study. You can also choose a staggered bed that allows three kids to be accommodated in a tiny space by placing two twin beds over a full-size bed.
3. The addition of a Workstation
