Bunk beds, the childhood classics!

Growing up, we all used to share our rooms with siblings. And for those who had limited space, their parents got them a bunk bed. But bunk beds now have come a long way from being made of bulky wooden and metal. These are now on a more practical side better serving the needs and preferences.

As parents, we know the feeling of providing your kids with the best! However, bunk bed buying: This is where you need to ensure safety, and room growth while also ensure that you streamline the decor of your room with the rest of your home. It is quite a game of balance between all the aspects.

Multi-Purpose Settings That Serve More Than Just Sleeping Units!

Furnishing a small space and making the room comfortable becomes much fun and easier when you consider the apt designs that will FIT.

If you want to make the most use of the efficient space, ideally a tall space, you will need a vertical solution to clear up some space and maximize your available area- stacking a triple bunk bed will work best.

With space at a premium, it pays to think vertically. Before you make a leap to have a triple bunk bed design you need to keep a few pointers in mind:

 The Available Space: Before getting the bucks down to purchase a sturdy bunk bed for your kids you need to get a measure of existing space. At Maine Bunk Beds, we design the beds with adults in mind- there is enough space so you don't bang your head when getting in and out of the bed.

Note that: If you are opting for a triple bunk bed setup that is either stacked up or has a lot of added features like a storage staircase and trundle bed, make sure you account for the space our woodworkers will need in your measurements.

 The Purpose/Use of the Bunk Bed: To really make the most of every square inch and get a multipurpose unit that supports their growing needs, going bespoke will be your best bet. This means you will get a bed that will fit your lifestyle and stretches wall-to-wall without leaving any empty spaces.

Important: To get the perfect fit, you need to weigh your child's opinion on this front, how they would like to use the space, and gauge how you can make the best out of it in terms of creativity and space-saving solution.

 The Quality Construction: From cleaver concealed ladder, storage staircase to fun elements, the best bunk bed will feature sturdy and sustainable materials that go a long way and stand the test of time. For starters, custom bunk beds made of solid hardwood are longer-lasting, environmentally and child friendly and hold up better over use.

The "Katahdin" Triple Bunk Bed is made with poplar. We only use top-quality, eco-friendly materials that speak usability, durability, and strength.

 The Safety Level: If the room is tall enough for a triple bunk bed, you need to account for their safety too- thus opt for an ergonomically designed triple bunk bed. When you ask for the ideal choice when it comes to safety, below are a few pointers to keep in mind:

  • Rounded corners

  • Smooth handles

  • Secured with dowels

  • Use of heavy-duty architectural bolts

  • Extra safety railings as an added bonus

With these considerations, you can start on to creating a practical room worthy of the initial investment and safety of children and adults alike! However, when designing a small space, the bed can seem like an island in the middle of the room. We are here to give you inspiring and space-saving ideas that will definitely create a magical yet practical sleeping space.

Clever Ideas for Triple Stacked Bunk Beds

In creating an ingenious space-saving bunk bed for your room, there are several different approaches you can follow for a modest setting.

  1. Are you hunting for a solution that takes up less space, yet accommodates more people in a room?

  2. Or looking for a way to make your traditional bed take up a smaller footprint and make room for other essentials?

Below we have the most straight-forward space-saving ideas that you might not think of considering:

Triple-decker that dramatically expands the sleeping capacity!

This floor-to-ceiling bed epitomizes 'less is more' and compromises a wider and taller bed frame. You can make good use of the space by placing the bottom bed near the floor which eliminates the dreaded bed space under the bed or simply opt for a built-in trundle.

Taking up the small footprint, these triple bunks are ideal for small rooms and vacation homes where you want to accommodate multiple children or guests for sleepovers. Not to forget, keep enough headspace for all the bunks so that your kids don't go banging their heads while sitting straight up.

Utilizing unused area under the staircase

This quite unique arrangement is a clear winner if you are also looking for a cozy nook. This triple bed setup with a staircase can help you create a small alcove underneath where you can place a small side table or a bookshelf as well.

Transform the lower bunk into a day bed!

Wondering how you can style a triple bunk bed that is not used during the day? If you are utilizing a triple bunk where the lower platform is not used you can convert it into a seating space. Now, this is convenience in a nutshell.

What's more, you can play around and make the lower bunk elegant by adding a canopy or few curtains to separate it from the other bunks.

A Great Source Of Creative Bedroom Storage Ideas!

This isn't just a creative sleeping space, it can be a source of creative storage if you explore the ideas. Generally, when you move the bed space up, you are making a lot more room for storage.

  1. A corner bed can make you utilize the space for storage shelves.

  2. A staircase also doubles as fun storage.

  3. Cupboards or built-in storage drawers on either side, allowing more room.

  4. Under-bed drawers that take up the normally wasted floor space.

A Minimalist triple Bunk With A Secret Trundle!

Don't really like the built-ins? Then a modern yet contemporary design is the answer. It keeps the space clean-lined while the ladder area steered clear making the access to the top bunks easy. This spacious setting can be equipped with a trundle, so there is a bed for sleepovers! A win-win.
