While loft beds may bring back memories of college dorm rooms or military bunks, modern day furniture enthusiasts have made sleeping near the ceiling a popular design decision for many loft owners. Since renovated loft spaces typically have open floor spaces, using elevated beds helps conserve space with the potential for cool design elements.
Kids Living Their Dream
These beds are perfect for young and older kids. There are hundreds of companies specializing in unique designs, and thousands of online plans for the avid or novice do- it-yourselfer. Popular designs include castles that go from floor to ceiling. Your princess can have a ballroom or a throne room at floor level and retire high into the tower when it's time for bed.
Another popular theme is starships. With cool LED lighting and perhaps glow in the dark stars on the ceiling your child can become an explorer of the universe every night. From racing cars to major league stadiums, log cabins to abstract design, the loft bed has quickly become more than a college fad.
Not Just For Kids
Even the adults are getting into the action. Mid-modern, urban and country inspired designs are creating a huge impact on the design market. While most adult beds aren’t as tall as their more youthful oriented counterparts, they too can offer space savings in small areas. Most designs incorporate storage space such as dressers or small armoires under a bed accessible by only a few stairs. In addition, there are many models which incorporate queen size mattresses so comfort is maintained. These contemporary units provide additional storage and become fantastic guest beds. Both are a valuable commodity in any floor plan where space is limited.
We Know You're Intrigued
If you are curious about what can be done, start with a simple internet search with the terms, "girls loft bed", "boys loft bed" or even "adult loft bed". You will be amazed by the amount of options and designs. Before you get too overwhelmed, take some time to look at the space and determine your needs. If you want a loft that doubles as a play area, make sure you have enough room and that the design is age appropriate. If your ceilings are tall enough, you can have loft beds high enough for your teenager to stand under. Add a desk for study or a bean bag and video game station for a little private respite area. For children of all ages, add a red velvet curtain, and the children or you can put on your own Broadway show.
