14 Space-Saving Kid-Approved Bedrooms + Bunk Rooms

Bunk beds are one of the hardest-working pieces in any kid’s room. They free up valuable floor space, make shared rooms feel intentional rather than crowded, and turn bedtime into something a little more fun. Whether you are designing a room for siblings, planning for frequent sleepovers, or trying to squeeze a lot of function into a small footprint, well-designed bunk beds completely reshape how a kid’s room feels and functions. We gathered a mix of locally built-in bunks with creative layouts that add storage, personality, and a sense of play. Use these ideas as a starting point for your own home, whether you are refreshing one corner or rethinking the entire space.

Designed by Mary Welch Fox

These bunks are built into the wall, so they feel like their own little retreat instead of a standard bed pushed into the corner. Integrated guardrails and a sturdy ladder keep things practical, while the built-in structure makes the room feel more finished than a simple metal frame.

This space proves that bunk beds can do more than sleep two kids. Here, the bunks are paired with drawers under the bottom bunk and cubbies in the steps to keep toys, books, and extra bedding out of sight. The result is a room that feels much cleaner and more open, even on busy school mornings.

Bunk beds also make it easy to host cousins and friends without dragging mattresses across the floor. This room stays relatively simple so that it can flex between everyday use and extra guests.
