Buying a Small Double Loft Bed

If you're looking for a small double loft bed then this Scandinavian pine design is a good fit. The frame is fitted with rails that guard children safe. The space beneath could also be used as a desk or bookcase.

Decorate your loft walls with shelves to display your child's art photographs, family photos, and inspirational quotes. Include a floor cushion and an armchair that is comfortable to create an inviting reading space.

Space-Saving

Loft beds are a great option for bedrooms with small spaces. These beds aren't constructed on the ground and instead are built on a platform high above it. This allows for more space under to be used for other furniture, such as tables and dressers. They also offer more storage options for items such as books, toys and electronic devices. This kind of bed works well in rooms with low ceilings, where it is difficult to fit a traditional bed.

This simple wood loft bed from Amazon is a great choice for those looking to add a little extra functionality to their bedroom. The frame is made from a combination solid and manufactured wood and the slats support sturdy metal columns. The bed is available in different sizes such as DHP Miles Junior Twin Loft Bed - Silver over twin and full over full, as well as white and dark wood finishes. It comes with a ladder for easy access to its highest level. It can also be constructed with bookcases or a desk.

Another benefit of this loft bed is that it can easily be converted into a workstation with a desk nook or even a play-fort, if you're looking to let your child's imagination go wild. It's easy to build also, with a detailed plan and step-by-step instructions on the website of the manufacturer. Although most people prefer traditional wood finishes the bed is available in a espresso color to match any decor scheme.

The majority of loft beds are made out of oak or pine, depending on the design you select. Pine is a light soft wood that can take staining and paint very well. It's inexpensive and offers a warm, rustic look that is perfect for any house. Oak is a stronger and more expensive wood that's typically finished with an anti-scratch lacquer. It's not as strong as pine, but it can be effective in protecting against stains and scratches.

This loft bed differs from most double loft beds with ladders on each side. Instead, it has a shared staircase in the middle. This helps to save space and creates a separation between the two workspaces below. It is also easier to access the beds when two people are in the same space whether they are sleeping or working.

If you want to get creative the loft bed from Merax can be turned into a complete entertainment set-up with shelves, a cabinet as well as a desk and a sofa. It's the perfect option for kids who want an area to study in a comfortable setting or teens who want to transform your bedroom into a mini-office or college students who are moving into their new dorm room. All you have to do is attach the furniture pieces and it's ready for use. The plans come with cutting lists and drawings for construction to help you make the process easier.

Fun

If your child is looking for an exciting double loft bed, it's best to choose a model that's not only functional but also stylish. Consider a twin Asten loft bed that has armoire, desk with drawers, a hidey-hole and a desk that is as sleek and sophisticated as it is practical. This elegant option from Monarch Hill features a full-size bed with a top, a slat system that does away with the necessity for a box spring as well as a ladder and safety rail to keep your teen or child sleeping comfortably.

If you're looking for something more rugged and outdoor-oriented look at this log-inspired model from 2P Loft Bed Carlos. It has solid wooden frames and plenty of storage space underneath, including a bookcase, an open cubbies and a closet. Add some log wall decorations to complete the look and your child will enjoy spending time in his cabin, particularly during cold or snowy weather.

Another method to make an loft bed more entertaining is by turning it into a tent or a hideaway. Create a small window and curtains to let your child feel like they are in their own private space. This is a great solution for kids who love to camp, or want an escape from their room at the end of the night.

You can also transform your loft bed double into a cabin to reflect your child's most loved pastime or hobby. For instance, if they love basketball or baseball, purchase a bunk bed with a theme of sports that is decorated with their team's colors and logos. Fill it with dolls, action figures or other toys that relate to their hobbies and they will be thrilled to be there.

Some loft beds come with a slide that can be used for playing or for getting out of bed. This model by Donco includes an incline and a slide which means your child can decide how they would like to go down from the top. You can also get a slide from 2P Loft Bed Carlos constructed of strong metal, and comes with handrails to ensure safety.

A loft bed can be made even more fun by using two perpendicular beds and separating them with a curtain. This is what Willow and Jade Interiors have done here. This is a great idea to give each child their own space, but still allowing them the opportunity to play together or have sleepovers. The curtain can be easily adjusted to give you a quiet space or play time. If you decide to go this route, be sure to buy a set of thick curtains that can withstand heavy use. They'll last much longer than the cheaper alternatives, so it's worth the investment. You'll be grateful you did. You can get curtains in a variety of colors so that your children can change things up every now and again. Make sure you take measurements of the space prior to purchasing curtains to ensure that they fit.
