19 Bunk Beds That We Love To The Moon And Back

When you think of "bunk beds," chances are you're fondly recalling slumber parties, overnights at camp, or sharing a room with your sibling. Some memories might be fun — calling the top bunk and giggling with your roommate long into the night — while others, you'd be happy to forget — squeaky bed frames and rolling off of the top bunk.

Luckily, these beds have come a long way since your childhood. Today's options are modern, sleek, and surprisingly stylish, especially when they're presented in an equally-chic space. While a bunk room is of course a great option for little ones, they're also cozy hideaways for reading or napping and perfect for putting up houseguests. Here are 19 impeccably designed bunk beds that are not only super-comfy and dreamy, but they also mesh well with their surrounding decor.

This bunk room designed by Becki Owens is kid-friendly and all grown-up in equal parts. There are sweet little touches, like the elephant on the dresser, but the boho-chic details — tribal rug, faux sheepskin throw, plants, and natural wood finishes — keep it airy and modern.

A strong color palette can anchor a bunk room, like this space designed by Jenny Keenan. The blue-gray bunks pair nicely with complementary hues throughout, like the white and black throw blankets, black side table, and area rug that ties it all together.

Add industrial flair to your bedroom by installing metal pipe guardrails around each bunk. They offer protection to little ones who might be prone to rolling out of bed in the night, and they definitely increase the cool factor, which is exactly what Jodi from J. Anne Photography did in her boys' room.

Just because a bunk room resides in a beach house doesn't mean that it can't embrace some hygge elements, too. The coastal vibe in this room designed by Christina Kim is achieved with wall art, turquoise pillows, and wicker furniture. And to warm things up on chilly nights, add in a few throw blankets and plush linens.
