Bunk Beds With Ladders and Slides
When you're planning to furnish siblings' rooms, maxing out your floor space, or accommodating a whole family, bunk beds can make great use of small space. Just keep an eye out for things like stairs that jut out, angled ladders and slides.
It's a good idea not to hang anything from the top bunk as it can be an entrapment risk.
Ladders
It can be a challenge for kids and adults to climb up into the top bunk. While some may be tempted to climb up, this can be risky for older children or those with joint problems. Ladders are a great solution to this issue and offer a safe and comfortable entry point for children.
There are a variety of ladder options for kids bunk beds including straight and angle ladders. Straight ladders attach directly to the frame of the bunk bed and angled ladders extend out a bit from either side. Angled ladders are a good choice for short spaces and are suitable for anyone of all ages since they offer more space for feet when climbing up the bunk. Ladders are also available in different styles and colors so you can choose one that is in keeping with the design of your room or complements your bunk's color scheme.
A bunk bed with stairs built into the side is a fantastic option. Stairs take up more floor space than a ladder, but do not protrude from the side of the bunk therefore they are a great option for rooms with plenty of floor space. Many bunk beds for kids include storage cubbies. They are ideal for books, toys, and even pajamas.
If you are on the tightest budget straight ladders are a more affordable bunk bed option. Although it might not be as luxurious as a stair set a straight ladder is still solid and safe enough for children of all different ages to use. Stairs are more expensive, but they are also very versatile and can be used by kids of all ages.
A fresh design option is moving the ladder to the end of the bunk bed. This gives a sleek look designed with tweens and teens in mind. This design is available in all Maxtrix bunk sizes and height configurations including twin over twin Full over full, queen over queen and queen over queen.
Slides
Bunk beds with slides make for a fun addition to bedtime. Kids enjoy climbing the ladder and going down the slide, but bunk beds with slides provide parents with peace of mind knowing that their children are safe at night. These beds are ideal for children who struggle sleeping on higher levels. They are also a great way for older kids to get into bed.
When choosing a bunk bed that has slide, think about the size of the bedroom your child is in and the furniture in it. Some beds, such as the Casey Chestnut Kids Bunk Bed with Slide and Ladder, are perpendicular and require a little more space than other types of bunk beds. The bed is equipped with a slide and ladder to allow easy access to top bunk.
The Billi-Bolli Slide Tower is another option for adding slides to a bunkbed. The Tower can be mounted on the short side of the bed which can reduce the required space depth for a bunk bed with slide by around 70 centimeters (depending on assembly height). This allows you to put a kids bed with slide into rooms that wouldn't normally be suitable for this type of bed.
In addition to bunk beds with slides it is also possible to choose low loft beds with slides. These beds are perfect for bedrooms with small spaces, since they provide more space for storage and play. They can also be converted into a twin-over-full bunk bed with trundle to accommodate two more children for sleepovers. The cute bunk bed with slide that you buy can be transformed to any Maxtrix combination as your child grows and changes.
It is essential to follow safety guidelines for loft and bunk beds. Be sure to mount the slide on a flat surface, and away from any other structures in the bedroom. It is also recommended that you supervise your children while using the slide, since it can be dangerous in the event of a fall.
Stores
Many loft and bunk beds have drawers that are integrated that provide a handy storage solution for clothing, bedding, toys and more. The right bunk bed can help you maximize the space you have in a smaller area or organize an overcrowded children's bedroom.
Drawers that are built in the stairs are a perfect combination of safety and innovation that allows children to safely access their top bunk, while keeping their clothes, toys and other items organized. These drawers can also be used as a decorative feature in the bedroom of children to improve the look of the room. Some bunk beds with stair storage are also customizable which means you can adjust the amount of space according to the needs of your family.
Some models of bunk beds and loft beds come with curtains to make children feel as if they have their own space, even if they're sharing the same room. This feature is perfect for kids who love to read or dream in tranquility. You can purchase loft and bunk sets that come with curtains or make the look by yourself using curtain rods and simple drapes.
If you're struggling to find floor space and your children are begging for bunks but you're not able to accommodate two raised beds, consider a corner loft. This style places two raised beds in a corner of the room. It frees the floor space to accommodate other furniture, such as a desk or toy chest or a desk.
Bunk beds that have desks transform sleeping spaces into cozy study nooks. They're perfect for kids who need a quiet space to work on their homework or play their favorite games. Some models, like the Slam bunk bed by Maxtrix comes with a solid-wood desk and the bookcase to match, so you can easily create a work area in your child's bedroom.
Other bunk and loft beds have a desk built at the bottom, which is ideal for kids younger than 10 who want a separate spot to write, create or read. This is a great opportunity for your children to discover their creative side and learn independently in their bedrooms.
Style
The dimensions of your bedroom and your child's sleep habits will determine the ideal kind of bunk bed for your kids. If you're living in a cramped space, consider a twin-over-twin arrangement that helps save floor space while still offering each child the joy of sleeping together in a high position. If your ceilings are higher, you can go with a staggered design. It keeps the ladder at the bottom and leaves the top bed open, making it easier for children to climb up and down without smacking their heads.
A full-overfull configuration is a excellent option for rooms that are larger. It allows for more storage with a deep drawer on the bottom and older children to sleep on the upper level without feeling secluded. The bunk beds are typically equipped with a staircase or ladder on the side, which provides hidden storage for books and toys and a sturdy safety rail.
If you're looking to keep your bunk beds simple, pick an uncluttered color like white or gray. These finishes blend in with the majority of kids' rooms regardless of whether it's a coastal, cottage or colorful palette. If you're looking for something that's more appealing, then a wood finish like walnut or cherry would be an excellent choice. It brings warmth and contrast to the rustic or farm-inspired space.
Kids love to decorate their rooms, and bunk beds provide a chance to show their creative side. Bunks that have been painted or stained can be the focal point of a fun and practical kids' bedroom especially if they come with a detachable slide. The slide will offer hours of fun for your kids as they glide down with their pals or send their favorite plush animal on rides.
You could consider a bunk bed similar to this one from Furniture Row, with a colored stairwell. The railings for the stairs are available in green, red blue, or charcoal. It also includes three bunk beds that match the color of the railings. The staircase also comes with built-in shelves for storing books and other objects making sure that the beds remain tidy and uncluttered.
