Bunk beds make sharing fun — and they free up floor space instantly. But safety and build quality are key.
Safety First (Kid-Proof Checklist)
- Strong, thick guard rails
- Anti-tip construction
- Ladder grip handles
- No gaps where kids could trap fingers
- Top bunk age: 6+ years only
Bed Layout & Room Tips
- Place bunk against a solid wall
-
Keep ladder clear — no bedside table blocking it
- Check ceiling height: allow 75–90 cm above the top bunk mattress
- Consider L-shaped bunks for angled rooms
Storage & Add-Ons
- Underbed drawers
- Shelving at headboard height
- Clip-on bedside trays
Pair with durable, wipeable finishes for busy kids’ rooms.
