Bunk beds are all about combining a fun, playful vibe with space-saving solutions that help maximize available room. With space becoming such a commodity, it pays to think vertically!

Surprisingly, they’re not just for kids . . . from bunk beds with stairs to full over full bunk beds, here are some cool space saving ideas using bunk beds.

Multi Functional

Overnight guests or sleepovers? No problem! Whether your kids love to entertain friends for sleepovers or you need extra space for an overnight guest, there are a couple of bunk bed options that are perfect.

For example, a twin over full bunk bed with a trundle option is a great option for sleepovers and its bookcase headboard only add to its space saving features.

Another good choice is a twin futon bunk bed in wood or metal, a great space saver and design friendly. The futon doubles as a sofa and easily converts to a bed for sleepovers or overnight guests.

Choosing a bunk bed with a unique shape or layout can also be both multi-functional and space saving. An L-shaped bunk bed allows for additional space underneath for either a dresser or a desk. The possibilities are endless.

Extra Storage

If you are picking a bunk bed for the kids’ room, it pays to invest a bit more in one that comes with plenty of drawers and a few smart space saving features.

While storage space under the lower bunk is a common feature, there are plenty of bunk beds with stairs that feature built-in drawers for additional storage. You can even go a step further with elaborate loft bunk bed that feature an integrated closet or a study table.

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 stand alone lower bunk, others offer the convenience of a full size lower bunk with storage drawers feature, perfect for storing clothes or to allow kids to quickly tuck away clutter and keep their room sparkling clean!

It’s All in the Décor

It’s not always about storage, space and frugality. One fact about kids: they will not put up with décor that is dull and boring. Why not make their bunk beds extra special by adding something fun and unique?

A bunk bed with a sporty décor for football, baseball or soccer fans is always a crowd pleaser. Is your child obsessed with trains or buses?

Or how about something more feminine for the princess in the family? Or a play loft bed with a built-in play area? There’s a bunk bed for everyone.

Not Just for Kids

While playfully perfect for kids, bunk beds are also ideal for the college student or young adult starting out on their own. A recent college graduate living in a big city such as San Francisco, New York or Chicago may only be able to afford a studio apartment. A bunk bed with futon does double-duty here. Not only does it save loads of space but it also provides seating for guests and a bed. Brilliant!

Bunk beds are a great addition to any bedroom that is struggling to find an additional inch of space. While they are often labeled as decor specific to kids and young adults, bunk beds are popular with anyone who is young at heart! Not to mention, they are the perfect way to add more sleeping space to your guest room.
