Whenever there is a big, middle class family, kids are bound to have to share a room. And as the kids get older, it becomes more of a challenge. They want their independence and they want their own space — and we don't exactly blame them. After all, aren't we super grateful to escape the family every now and then by retreating into our bedrooms? While it might be next to impossible to give them their own rooms in the current situation, it is possible to make those spaces something they can feel at home in. One way to do that is to maximize space by putting bunk beds in the bedroom.
We know — bunk beds sound like they are only for little kids. After all what middle schooler or teenager would be down for doubling up with their brother or sister? But what if the bunk beds weren't the average stacked beds? There are plenty of designs out there to make the bunk beds not only fun, but functional in a way that makes maximizing space look damn good.
To help make roommate peace a possibility, we rounded up some of our favorite fun and funky bunk bed designs. Kids of all ages will appreciate something on this list. Whether it's two teens who need space-saving desks folded in with their sleepwear or two baseball-loving buddies, there is a little bunk bed magic for each of them. These funky designs are way beyond the average furniture store finds and can totally transform a shared room into a great hangout space. Who knows, maybe the kids will actually like spending time together? OK, OK — the bunk beds can't work magic, but they can certainly make a room look great. Check them out here.
