Kids’ bedrooms should be practical, comforting, and fun — with space to learn, play, and grow. If you're feeling a bit short on square footage, twin bunk beds can help you bring your vision to life. Bunk beds and loft beds capitalize on the square footage you have available, and kids seem to naturally love them. 
 
In this guide, we'll discuss the benefits of decorating kids’ rooms with bunk and loft beds before exploring some of the many options available. You'll have a space that you and your little ones adore before you know it. 
<h2>Benefits of the bunk bed</h2>

Bunk beds and loft beds are carefully designed to help create extra space in the bedroom. Whether you want your kid's sleepovers to be more fun or you need a comfy option that allows multiple children to share one bedroom, bunk beds create ideal solutions. 
 
Here are some of the many benefits of kids’ bunk beds.
<h3>Save space (and money!)</h3>
A cozy bed for every child isn't optional, so bunk beds offer you the opportunity to optimize your space. Traditional twin bunk beds stack two twin-size beds in the space that you typically need for one. 
 
<a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/rogen-twin-triple-bunk-bed-dark-bronze">Triple bunk beds</a> are even more space-efficient, and loft beds can stack a mattress on top of a workstation, <a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/montgomery-twin-over-futon-bunk-bed-glossy-black">futon</a>, or floor space play area. Many bunk beds include under-bed storage, and for those that don't, you can buy a <a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/wrangle-hill-4-drawer-stairway-chest-amber-wash">stair chest</a> to add both extra steps and drawers to the bed.
 
Plus, most bunk beds don't call for a box spring, which means there’s less to buy when setting up the bedroom. 
<h3>Encourage bonding</h3>
If you have multiple kids sharing one room, they'll want their own space. A bunk bed is a great way to provide this extra space while keeping them together for companionship. 
 
With their own beds, your little ones will get to hang out and bond without bickering (at least not quite so much). Sure, they might get in arguments over who gets which bunk, but this helps them learn negotiating skills. And, they can switch whenever they want. 
<h3>Make sleepovers more fun</h3>
A bunk bed can instantly make a sleepover more fun for all kids involved. If you opt for a <a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/coronado-storage-trundle-rustic-honey">trundle bed</a>, there's always a convenient daybed to pull out when you need another sleeping spot. And if the bed has a play area underneath, one or both kids can camp out there for the night to make it feel like a special event. 
 
It can also make sleepovers more fun for the parents because the guest child might feel safer and more at home if they have their own bed for the night. 
<h2>Tips for designing the room of their dreams</h2>

Once you know that you want to add a bunk bed to your kids' room, half of the work is done. Now you just need to find a bunk bed option you love and design around it. Here are some tips to help:
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Measure carefully: Not all bunk bed frames are the same size, even if they house the same mattress size. Know how much space you're working with and check the dimensions on the bed frame options. This step will help you create an efficient layout.</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Plan for functionality: Most kids' rooms will need a bed, clothing storage, and a desk at a minimum. Extras like bookcases, chairs, a couch, or television can make the space even more functional, depending on your kid’s habits. </li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Make it fun: No parent wants to design a room that their little one doesn't have fun in. Try to make it engaging by keeping their personality in mind. Don't forget to make room for toys, games, and playtime. And consider some <a href="https://artfulparent.com/fine-art-for-kids-rooms/">wall art or posters</a> to add character and stimulate their growing minds. </li>
