Bunks With Storage - The Ultimate Space-Saving Solution
When you picture bunk beds, images of giggling kids, secret dens, and memorable sleepovers probably come to mind. There’s no doubt, bunk beds are the ultimate invitation to fun and adventure. But did you know this versatile piece of furniture also holds the key to conquering clutter and making the most of space in your kid’s room?
Let us introduce kids bunk beds with storage – where playtime meets practicality. Strictly Beds and Bunks has been manufacturing sturdy pine bunk beds for over two decades. We design bunk beds that aren’t just fun to sleep in, they’re smart storage solutions too.
We understand that parents want the best for their kids, a room where the imagination is nurtured, and every inch of space is given over to playing, growing and learning. So, let’s take a look at the ways in which bunk beds with storage can transform your child’s bedroom.
Bunk Bed Storage - More Than Meets the Eye
The beauty of bunk beds lies not only in their vertical design, instantly freeing up floor space, but also in the way storage solutions can be ingeniously integrated into their design.
1. Under-Bed Drawers - The Hidden Treasure Chest
Imagine a bunk bed where the bottom bunk conceals spacious drawers. These pull-out compartments are perfect for stashing away clothes, bedding, toys, or even off-season items. By keeping belongings tucked away, under-bed drawers create a clean, uncluttered look, leaving more room for play, creativity, and relaxation.
2. Bookshelves - A Literary Oasis
For young bookworms, bunk beds with integrated bookshelves are a dream come true. These shelves can be positioned on the sides of the bed or even within the headboard, providing a convenient spot to display favourite reads and create a cosy reading spot. By incorporating bookshelves, you encourage a love of reading while keeping books organised and off the floor.
3. Loft Bed Wardrobes - The Ultimate Space-Saver
Loft beds, with their elevated sleeping space, offer a unique opportunity to create a wardrobe space underneath. Imagine a spacious wardrobe with hanging rails, shelves, and drawers, all tucked neatly beneath the loft bed. This configuration maximises vertical space, allowing your child to have a complete wardrobe solution without sacrificing precious floor area.
4. Shelving - Display and Organise
Many bunk beds come with open shelving options, either attached to the side rails or built into the headboard. These shelves are perfect for showcasing toys, photos, or other items, adding a personal touch to the bedroom. Additionally, they can be used to organise essentials like alarm clocks, water bottles, or nighttime reading.
Choosing Your Kids' Bunk Beds with Storage - A Guide for Parents
Selecting the perfect bunk bed with storage for your child’s room involves more than just picking a stylish design. It’s about finding a bed that fits your space, meets your child’s needs, and ensures their safety. Here’s what you need to consider:
Size Matters
Before you start browsing, measure your room carefully. Consider not only the floor space but also the ceiling height, especially if you’re opting for a loft bed. Leave enough room for movement around the bed and for opening drawers or wardrobe doors.
The Perfect Mattress Match
A good night’s sleep is crucial for your child’s development. Choose mattresses that are comfortable, supportive, and fit the bunk bed frame snugly. Consider your child’s age, weight, and sleeping preferences when selecting the mattress type and firmness.
Built to Last
Kids grow fast, and their furniture needs to keep up. Invest in a high-quality bunk bed made from sturdy materials like the solid pine used in Strictly Beds and Bunks’ designs. This ensures the bed can withstand years of jumping, climbing, and general rough-and-tumble play.
Make it Personal
Get your kids involved in choosing the design and storage options for their bunk bed. Let them pick out colourful bedding, decorate the shelves, and organise their belongings in the drawers. This turns tidying up into a fun activity, building in a sense of ownership and responsibility.
Safety First
Some bunk beds are safer than others. Look for beds that adhere to the BS EN 747-1:2024 – TC guidelines, which set the safety standards for bunk beds in the UK. Follow the age recommendations for top bunks (6+), and ensure your child knows how to use the bed safely, including how to climb up and down the ladder and the importance of not messing around on the top bunk.
At Strictly Beds and Bunks, we understand the importance of safety and quality. Our bunk beds are designed and manufactured to meet the highest safety standards, giving you peace of mind while your children enjoy their new sleeping arrangements.
