When you think about your vacation home, you’re likely picturing memories: cousins piling into one room after a beach day, board games spread across the floor, quiet mornings with coffee and sunlight pouring in through the windows. The bunk room is where those moments begin—and where they live on. At Maine Bunk Beds, we believe this room should be more than functional. It should be part of your family's story.
Here’s what to consider when creating a bunk room that’s built to bring people together—and made for generations.
1. Design for Togetherness
Bunk rooms are all about shared experiences. Whether it's four cousins on a summer sleepover or a group of friends skiing for the weekend, design your space with connection in mind. Think about layouts that encourage interaction—like L-shaped bunks for more floor space or stacked triples for big families.
2. Maximize Every Inch
Vacation homes often come with creative floorplans. Custom bunk beds let you use every nook—from eaves to alcoves. We build each bed to order, so whether you need built-in drawers, trundles, or ladders that won't block a doorway, we can help turn tight spaces into lasting memories.
3. Choose Durable, Timeless Materials
A bunk room should be able to take a beating—without losing its charm. All of our beds are crafted in Maine using solid, responsibly sourced wood and finished with eco-friendly, non-toxic paints and lacquers. It’s furniture that stands up to the rough-and-tumble of kid life—and stays beautiful year after year.
4. Let the Room Grow With You
Today it’s toddlers, tomorrow it’s teens. A good bunk room grows with your family. Stick with neutral tones or choose classic colors that feel both playful and refined. Add reading lights and USB ports for comfort and function that keeps up with the times.
5. Tell Your Story
No two families are the same—your bunk room shouldn’t be either. Whether you're after a nautical theme, ski-lodge chic, or simple New England charm, we’ll help bring your vision to life with fully custom designs made just for your home.
