Petite Bunk Beds

The Room & Board Brooklyn bunk is one of our favorites. It is made with sustainably sourced wood and comes in a variety of finishes. It comes in a single cabin bed with storage box and is simple to put together, although two people are highly recommended. Its design is sleek and modern, and it looks great with any style according to Fenton. It's heavier than other bunks we reviewed however it's "built as a tank," says Fenton.

A twin-over-full-bunk is another option for older kids and teens that fit in smaller rooms without overwhelming them. This Max & Lily option has the added benefit of being GREENGUARD Gold certified and sporting an angled ladder that's easier to climb (plus it has anti-slip rungs). The bottom bunk can be converted into a platform bed for sleepovers. This will provide more storage space in your child's bedroom.

Another option is the Oeuf Perch bunk, which both Fenton and Morris like for its clean lines and minimalist design. It's also a cost-effective option that is available in a range of colors. It's a great option for growing kids because it can be divided into one twin bed and a standard full-size frame when your children have outgrown the bunk bed.

Space-saving Design

A cabin bed is a great option for kids whose bedrooms are on the smaller side. They have the same comfort as a single bed, but take up less space. This makes them ideal for small spaces.

A number of mid-sized beds with short sides have designs that provide additional space beneath the mattress. This space can be used as storage or even as a play spaceath.

Many also come with under-bed storage solutions that are ideal to keep clutter out of sight & out of your mind. These are particularly helpful when you have a child with a lot of toys which can create chaos or distract them when it's time to sleep!

Built-In Storage Options

Many shorty beds have integrated storage, allowing you to use the space underneath the bed, without taking up floor space. These underbed drawers are a great alternative to closet or clothes storage ideas, and should aid in reducing the amount of clutter in your kid's room.

High-sleeper and mid-sleeper beds take this concept further by including an adjustable desk that can be folded back when not in use. This is a fantastic option for children who need a dedicated workstation, but don't have the space for a permanent set-up.

Shelf beds are another option that include a bed with shelving and cubbies that can be used to store everything from books to decorative items and even your child's collection of succulents! The benefit of this type of storage is that it's visually appealing and can help to declutter your kid's bedroom while allowing them the opportunity to display personal touches.

To create the most functional bedroom for your child, go with a mid-sleeper cabin with stairs, which does not just have plenty of storage but also has a den area complete with a peek-a-boo window and a slide!
