Bunk beds are commonly used in summer camps and other facilities that provide accommodations for several people who are sharing a small space. In the past, bunk beds provided the perfect solution for large families who had four or more children sharing a single bedroom. Even though most people do not have the large families that were common a century ago, many modern day families still have to deal with living in small spaces.
Many older homes, townhouses and condominiums have very small bedrooms, which can make it difficult to design a beautiful room for a child. Families who live in a century home or a city apartment might have to get creative when it comes to designing their child’s bedroom. If two or more children need to share a single bedroom, it can be extremely challenging to find a design that works well to accommodate each child.
If two or three children are sharing a small room, someone should consider bunk beds for kids. Bunk beds will not only free up much needed bedroom space, but they are also a fun piece of furniture that kids will enjoy. Bunk beds are also a great idea for families who have a child who is attending college. If the child is spending most of the year living in the college dorms, their old bedroom can be converted into a home office, workout room or game room. When the child comes home to visit during the summer holidays, they can share the bunk bed with their younger sibling. While they are away at school their brother or sister can enjoy having a bedroom of their own. A futon style bunk bed is a perfect choice in this situation because the bottom bed can be used as either a sofa or a bed while the older sibling is away at school.
Modern day bunk beds come in many different styles. Wood and metal bunk beds are the most popular for children’s bedrooms because of their durability. Some bunk beds have special features such as built in drawers or storage compartments. A bunk bed with integrated storage creates even more space, especially if it eliminates the need for an additional dresser. Bunk beds for kids are available in furniture stores as well as online. Whether someone purchases a bunk bed online or in a local store, they need to be prepared to assemble the bed once it arrives. Bunk bed assembly is not too difficult, but it will likely take two people to assemble the product. Some local companies may offer home assembly services for an additional fee.
