Every minute and forty-six seconds a new Australian is born! Get over the baby boom and make more space with bunk beds.
Our cities are getting bigger with denser populations and space is at a premium. Growing families need to find solutions to maintain affordable lifestyles. Consider the quality of children’s lifestyles. Children need space to experiment and learn. Children need lots of toys, books, and stimulating things. Kids love hanging out together and having sleepovers.
The best solution to decorate children’s bedrooms in a modern and practical way is to install bunk beds. A bunk is a clubhouse: a place to sleep, play and talk. Recent styles give you a variety of options, from classic wood and sleek metal to colorfully themed bunk beds with graphics from Disney’s most popular movie and storybook heroes. Trains, cars and boats also transform well in hover mode and kids love the look. Choosing your wall color and bedding is pretty easy when you already have a themed bed.
Bunk beds are especially apt in a cramped room, but they can maximize space anywhere with built-in drawers, shelves, and storage cabinets. Bunk beds are great for creating a complete environment with beds to sleep in, desks to study in, and lots of fun features like stairs or steps to play on. They can be effectively incorporated into an entire wall of shelving or cabinets.
Children need a private haven, and moms and dads need to know their little ones are safe and happy. Bunk beds do both, creating miniature worlds that are built to withstand a lot of rough play. Kids get bored and go from one phase to another overnight, so get a bunk bed that fits and can change the look from time to time. A solid-color bunk bed can be repainted for a quick makeover, and shiny new sheets and throws can dramatically change the decor of the room. Basic bunk beds can be customized with plywood frames cut with Arabian silhouettes or painted like the exterior of a princess’s castle.
There are bunk beds that can be reconfigured into two separate beds, plus the twin bed model, single above, can be a useful option for older children, and sometimes sleepovers can sleep in a pull-out trundle. For the ultimate hideaway bed in a room that needs as much space as possible during the day, there’s a Murphy-style bunk unit; the beds fold into the wall out of sight.
Balance the bunk beds with large wall art or a wallpaper wall to create interest. Curtains can be added to the bunk beds for privacy, often a priority for girls. Keep the look clean and fun.
The other best use for bunk beds is in a vacation home when you need to sleep two people in a single room. Here the economy of one unit solves problems of limited space. Splash the color or keep it drab, make room for our new arrivals.
