10 Unique Built in Bunk Beds to Inspire You!

If you are thinking about adding built in bunk beds to your home, this is for you!

I've been sharing teen bedroom ideas but thought I'd give you some inspiration for the younger kids. I love a bedroom that can grow with a child but I also like to add a bit of whimsy.

We created a reading loft for our son years ago, and the time and effort was well worth it.

This built in situation was created by using Ikea bunkbeds for the base of the build. I love when people get creative and are able to cut out some of the work of traditional builds.

I love the color she picked for this, too. It's Benjamin Moore Backwoods and you can find and watch more of the process of this build on her IG story collection. That small peek of the cross rug is a DIY, too.

Multiple custom built in bunk beds

I've seen multiple bunkbed setups in airbnbs and thought that was pretty smart but this inspiration is from an actual home. This momma, is a momma of six, so it totally makes sense to have a bunk room!

If you are wanting a good breakdown on how to make a bunk room, Our Faux Farmhouse has shared a bunch of their process. The room that has these large built in bunk beads is 15.5’ x 20.5’ x 10’ (tall).

Play loft above bed

Technically, I'm not sure we can call this one a built in bunk bed but, I'm making the rules and wanted to include it for the inspiration. I love the use of space here for younger kids. Why not just put a mattress on the floor and make a play loft above the bed? I think this is so fun and creative.

If you are wanting a good tutorial for building out a room with stairs by your bunkbed, Chris Loves Julia, provided one. Notice how they maximized space by having the bottom bed close to the floor. This is helpful for those with lower ceiling heights.

I love these high-end custom built in bunk beds. The added storage on the bottom bunks are super smart but could probably have been made to even contain pull out trundle beds.

These custom bunk beds are so whimsical. I love the stairs with storage leading up at the end and the design pattern on the build in general.

Curtains on bed

I follow Maddy on Instagram so I know that she uses this bunkbed room to house guests. The curtain panels were added for a bit of extra privacy and I love that sweet detail.
