36 Cool Bunk Beds That Offer Us The Gift Of Style

36 Cool Bunk Beds That Offer Us The Gift Of Style

Ever noticed that bunk beds are used in such a diverse array of settings that includes children’s rooms but also ships, army garrisons, dormitories and even prison cells? It’s funny how we reduce the meaning of the term to only the pleasant things that create beautiful memories.


Bunk beds can be arranged in a variety of different configurations and you can have two or more beds stacked and combined in a way that makes sense for the room and the layout. This is a great example by Natasha Wallis Design of how you can make four beds in a single fairly small room without making it feel cluttered and tiny.



Another great combo is to have two bunk beds plus a pull-out mattress underneath the bottom one which adds a third sleeping spot for any friends that want to sleep over. A simple ladder gives access to the top bunk and the white frame matches the windows, the walls, ceiling and the overall design theme of the room. {found on natashawallis}.



Custom-built bunk beds can be designed to perfectly fit into a particular space which makes them even more space-efficient and practical. They’re great for small bedrooms where you can stick them in a corner and have them integrated into the space in a way that doesn’t interfere with the functionality and the room as a whole. Studio High Camp Home managed to make these bunk beds look really cozy.



Two stacked beds are great but what if you need more than that? Here’s a nice way in which you can incorporate 4 bunk beds into a room without taking up the entire floor space. They’re organized in sets of two and they\re adjacent to one another which creates a cozy sleeping area and leaves the rest of the room open for other activities. This is a design by Tab Associates.



Here’s another beautiful bedroom design which also takes full advantage of the space-efficiency bunk beds offer. Here the beds are placed against one of the walls and each enjoys its own private nook. The design is simple and modern with a hint of glamour and the soft pink nuance on the wall creates a lovely backdrop. Check out Suzanne Nichols Design Group for more inspiration.



In this mid-size kids’ bedroom Suzanne Nichols Design Group relied on simple and neutral colors to create a décor and an ambiance that feel inviting and comfortable but that also help the room appear spacious and bright. The bunk beds take up minimal space on the floor and contrast beautifully with the mustard-colored wall behind them.



It doesn’t take long to realize how practical and versatile bunk beds are and the next step from there is to check out a few models and see which one suits you best. There are plenty of options, like the Hazzard bed for example. It has a solid wood construction and a trundle that gives an extra space for a mattress in case it’s needed.



The design of the Jeremias bunk bed is also quite simple but it has a more traditional vibe. The dark wood frame stands out and not just because of how it looks but also because it has a very clever and storage-efficient design. Instead of a ladder the bed has a small staircase on the side and there’s a set of three drawers built into them, ranging in size and shape.



A similarly clever design is exhibited by the Danville twin over full bunk bed. It has a stylish and simple frame and a set of narrow stairs attached to it. The stairs have an open design on the side with three shelves that can be used for storage. It’s a simple and clever way of adding a bit of extra storage to a piece of furniture that’s ideal for small spaces.



Simplicity and convenience define the Kemah twin bunk bed. It has a very small footprint and it doesn’t take up any more space than it absolutely has to. There’s no attached staircase and no extra storage on the sides. Access to the top bunk is done via a pair of built-in ladders from either side. The frame is made of solid wood and sits low on the floor which allows the top bed to also be positioned closer to the floor than usual.



This is the Moorcroft twin over twin over twin bed. It’s a triple bunk that allows three separate beds to take up the floor space of just one. To maximize space-efficiency, the design is kept simple with slender ladders attached to the front on either side for access to the top and middle beds. The frame is available in four colors including white which is an ideal shade if you want to maintain an airy and spacious décor.



On a different note, we also have designs like that of the Shyann bunk bed which is clever and interesting in other ways. What makes it stand out is the beautiful staircase which has a lovely railing that matches the frame of the beds. The staircase also features built-in shelves which can be used for storage and there’s also more storage inside the pull-out drawers which can be placed on either side underneath the bottom bunk.



Other designs, like that of the Aquilla twin over twin bunk bed focus a bit more on the fun side of things. Kids can climb up using a ladder in order to reach the top bunk and they come back down via a slide. It’s a super fun way to start each morning. The design as a whole is simple and modern. The frame is made of solid wood and the guardrails are detachable.



The Tena twin over full bunk bed has a total of 6 drawers incorporated into its design. As all the other ones, it has a solid and sturdy frame made out of wood but the design is a bit different. In this case the drawers are deep and cleverly integrated into the stairs themselves as well as underneath the bottom bed. They have cutouts so they can be easily opened and closed without the need for additional hardware.



The important of storage and its versatility are also emphasized by this particular bunk bed which has two beds positioned perpendicular to one another. That allows additional features to be integrated into the frame such as a chest of drawers on one side and a built-in desk on the other. This way you can fit two beds and a homework station in a very small area and have some extra room for other activities as well.



Here’s another version of the Tena bunk bed but this time with a twin over twin configuration. Like the other model, it has a staircase with built-in drawers and additionally it also features shelves on the side of the stairs. There’s more room for storage inside the large drawers underneath the bottom bed. The frame is made of solid Brazilian pine wood and comes wit four beautiful finish options including this lovely white nuance.


What makes this design special for us is the unusual way in which the beds are disposed on the frame

It’s why there’s such a large diversity of designs in our list. They range from simple to complex, from elegant to playful, from rustic to modern and so on. Each design is special in its own way and it’s not always the same detail that make it stand out for everyone.

We envision these wooden bunk beds as being part of a log cabin in the mountains

It’s possible to fit four or more bunk beds in one room without using up all the floor space

Both the beds and the ladder are built of wooden logs and they look charming

Bunk beds are also great for guest bedrooms, especially if there’s a way to hide them when not needed

These ones simply disappear and the room becomes a home office
