Built-In Units and Custom Solutions

As with every other aspect of interior design, there is no 'one solution fits all' in the case of bunk beds. Since most homeowners opt for bunk bed installations in order to save on space, it is essential that the bunk bed you choose fits in perfectly with the specific requirements of your kids' bedroom. A smart way to go about incorporating bunk beds is to choose custom designs and built-in units that are crafted with the dimensions of the room in mind.

A bunk room is a trend that is quickly gaining popularity–not just among large families, but also among luxury retreats and cabin resorts that offer cottages for families. Bunk rooms need not always mimic the boring design of mundane dorm rooms and often have a casual and exciting vibe that perfectly captures your holiday mood. These large bunk bed units seem all the more cozy as you snuggle under a warm blanket in one of those snug niches, even as it starts to snow outside!

Innovative Bunk Bed Designs and Smart Storage

If you are picking a bunk bed for the kids' room, it pays to invest a bit more in bringing home a selection that comes with plenty of drawers and a few smart shelves. Contemporary bunk beds are available in a variety of shapes, sizes and forms. While some bring together the classic design of a loft bed with a standalone lower bunk, others tend to offer the convenience of a fold-away Murphy bed. Some even have cool trundle bed features that allow your kids to quickly tuck away clutter and keep the room sparkling clean!

While storage space under the lower bunk is a common feature, there are plenty of bunk beds where the stairs to the top level offer additional room for the truckload of toys that your kids own. You can even go a step further and bring home elaborate bunk bed wall units that feature an integrated closet and even a study table.

Ladders, Ropes and Slides For A Fun Bunk Bed Design

It's not always about storage, space and frugality. One fact about kids: they will not put up with any decor that is dull and boring. (At least not quietly!) Why not make their bunk beds extra special by adding something fun and unique? A slide is the perfect way to elevate bunk bed design to a whole new level. Not to mention, with a model like this one, your little ones will likely spend more time on the top bunk than the one below. A climbing rope along with the ladder, or even a lower bunk on castors is bound to make the kids' bedtime a lot cooler and more hip…
