This design incorporates two raised beds in one corner of the room, while freeing up floor space for other furniture, like desks or a toy chest.
Bunk beds with desks transform sleeping spaces into cozy study nooks. These bunk beds are great for children who need an area to work in peace, do their homework or play games.

Style
The best bunk bed design for kids will be determined by the size of your room and your child's sleeping habits. If you're working with an area that is limited, a twin-overtwin configuration will save the floor space while allowing both children to sleep together in the loft. If your ceilings are higher, you can go with a staggered layout. It keeps the ladder at the bottom, and leaves the top bunk bed open. This makes it easier for children to climb up and down without crashing into their heads.
A full-over-full configuration is another excellent option for rooms that are larger. It provides more storage space with a large drawer at the bottom, and allows older children to sleep on the top level without feeling like they're left out. These bunk beds usually come with an incline on the side or a staircase that offers an out-of-sight area for books and toys, as well as a sturdy railing that is slatted to ensure security.
If you want to keep your bunk beds basic, go with a solid color such as white or gray. These finishes can be incorporated into any child's room, whether it has a coastal or cottage theme or a vibrant palette. If you're looking to make your room more attractive and appealing, a wood finish such as walnut or cherry is an excellent choice. It provides warmth to rooms that are rustic or inspired by farmhouse but also provides plenty of visual contrast through bright colors.
Bunks are an excellent opportunity for kids to show their creative side. Bunks that have been stained or painted can be the focal point of a fun and functional kids bedroom particularly if they are equipped with a detachable slide. Your kids will have a blast gliding down the slide with their friends and sending their favorite animals on rides.
