Bunk Beds for Boxrooms

Maximise Space and Style in Your Smallest Bedroom

Boxrooms. They’re the smallest room in the house, often just big enough to fit a bed and little else, and notoriously tricky to decorate. But what if your boxroom could be more than just a place to sleep? What if it could be a cosy, stylish, and functional space that your kids actually want to spend time in? Bunk beds for boxrooms could be the solution you need.

 

For parents looking to make the most of their boxroom space, Strictly Beds and Bunks has over three decades of experience to draw on. In this blog, we’ll explore how clever bunk bed designs can transform your cramped boxroom into a cosy bedroom, packed with personality and practical storage solutions. Ready to create a boxroom that’s both fun and functional?

Why Bunk Beds For Boxrooms Make Sense

Okay, so you’ve got a boxroom. It’s small, maybe it’s an awkward shape, and you’re wondering how on earth you’ll fit everything in. Don’t worry, we’ve got you! Bunk beds are the ultimate space-saving solution for boxrooms, and here’s why:

 

  • • Adventure awaits! – Let’s be honest – no-one pleads to be given the boxroom for their bedroom. But a bunk bed instantly injects a sense of fun and adventure. Suddenly, it’s space with a potential for play! This simple addition can transform the whole vibe of the room, making it a place where imaginations can run wild.
  • • Up, up, and away with vertical space! – The biggest challenge with boxrooms is the limited floor space. Bunk beds cleverly utilise vertical space, freeing up precious floor area for playing, studying, or simply moving around. This means you can fit in all the essentials without feeling cramped.
  • • Storage galore! – Bunk beds can come with built-in storage options like drawers, shelves, and even cupboards. This is a game-changer for small rooms, allowing you to keep clothes, toys, and books organised and out of the way. Some designs even incorporate desks or trundle beds for extra functionality.
  •  

This is just the foundation. In the next sections, we’ll explore creative ways to style your bunk bed and the rest of the room to create a space that’s not just functional, but truly inviting and cosy.

Choosing the Right Bunk Bed for Your Boxroom

Not all bunk beds are created equal! To truly maximise your boxroom space, you need to choose a design that fits your specific needs and the room’s dimensions. Here are a few things to consider:

Choosing the Right Bunk Bed for Your Boxroom

1. Ceiling height – If your boxroom has a low ceiling, a standard bunk bed might feel a bit cramped. Low bunk beds are a great option, offering the fun of a bunk bed with a lower overall height.

2. Floor space – Want to maximise floor space for play or a desk? Consider short bunk beds or shorty bunk beds. These clever designs offer a slightly shorter length, giving you valuable extra inches of floor space.

3. A room within a room – Loft bunk beds elevate the sleeping area, creating a fantastic opportunity to build a cosy den, study zone, or even a mini wardrobe underneath. This is a brilliant way to add functionality and personality to your boxroom.

4. Storage solutions – Clutter is the enemy of a small space. Look for bunk beds with integrated storage, such as drawers, shelves, or even a pull-out desk. These clever designs help keep everything organised and out of sight, creating a calm and clutter-free environment.

By carefully considering these factors, you can choose a bunk bed that not only fits comfortably in your boxroom but also enhances its functionality and style.

Boxroom Décor - Small Space, Big Style

Choosing the right bunk bed is a fantastic start, but now it’s time to unleash your inner interior designer! With a little creativity, you can transform your boxroom from a cramped space into a cosy and stylish haven. Here’s how:

 

Colour is key – In a small room, colour can make all the difference. Light and airy shades like white, cream, or soft pastels can help create the illusion of more space. Don’t be afraid to add personality with pops of bolder colours in your bedding, cushions, and artwork.

 

Light it up! – Lighting plays a crucial role in creating a cosy atmosphere. In a boxroom with bunk beds, consider individual reading lights attached to each bunk. This not only provides practical illumination for bedtime stories but also creates separate zones within the room. Fairy lights strung around the top bunk can add a magical touch, while a well-placed floor lamp can brighten up a reading nook or play area.

 

Embrace texture and pattern – Add depth and interest to your boxroom with a mix of textures and patterns. Think cosy throws, patterned cushions, and a textured rug. These small touches can make a big difference in creating a warm and inviting space.

 

Mirror, mirror on the wall – Mirrors are a classic trick for making a small room feel larger. Consider hanging a mirror opposite a window to reflect natural light and create the illusion of more space.

Get creative with storage – Storage doesn’t have to be boring! Instead of bulky wardrobes, consider open shelving with stylish baskets or boxes to keep things organised. Bunk beds storage shelves are a great way to keep personal items such as books or favourite toys nearby. Wall-mounted hooks are great for hanging bags and coats, freeing up valuable floor space.
