It's not a good idea to hang anything from the top bunk as it could pose an entrapment risk.

Ladders

To get into the top bunk of a bunk bed could be a challenge for kids bunk bed with storage and adults alike. While some might be tempted to climb up, this can create a fall risk and can be dangerous for children, those with joint problems or are older. Ladders are a great solution to eliminate this issue and provide a secure, comfortable and easy-to-climb entry point for kids.

There are several ladder options for kids bunk beds, including straight and angled ladders. Straight ladders are connected directly to the frame of the bunk bed whereas an angled ladder is positioned slightly from the bed's side. Angled ladders work well in smaller spaces and are suitable for everyone, since they offer more room for the feet when climbing up. They also come in different designs and colors so that you can choose one that is in keeping with the design of your room or matches your bunk's color scheme.

Another alternative is to choose bunk beds with stairs that are located on the sides of the bunk. Stairs take up more space than a ladder but do not protrude from the bunk's side therefore they are a great choice for rooms with ample floor space. A lot of bunk beds for kids bedroom furniture with stairs also come with cubbies that double as storage for the bed, perfect to store books, toys and pajamas.

If you are on a tight budget straight ladders are an affordable option for a bunk bed. Although it's not as durable as a stair set, straight ladders are solid and safe enough for children of all different ages to use. Stairs however are a little more expensive but they are also extremely versatile and can be used by kids of all age groups as they grow older.

A new design option is to move the ladder towards the bottom of the bunk bed. This offers a minimalist look that was designed with teens and tweens in mind. This design is available in all Maxtrix bunk sizes and heights including twin over twin, full over full and queen over queen.

Slides

Bunk beds that have slides make for a fun addition to time at bedtime. Bunk beds with slides are not only fun for kids to climb up and down, but they also give parents peace-of-mind that their children will be safe at night. These beds are great for children who have trouble sleeping at higher levels. They can also be a great option for older kids to get into bed.

When choosing a bunk with slide, consider the size of the room and any furniture in it. Some beds, like the Casey Chestnut Kids Bunk Bed with Ladder and Slide are perpendicular and require more space than other designs. This bed comes with a built-in slide and ladder that allows for easy access to the top bunk.

The Billi-Bolli Slide Tower is another option for adding a slides to a bunk bed. The Tower is affixed to the shorter side of the bed which can reduce the room depth for a bunk bed with a slide by around 70 cm (depending on assembly height). This allows you to put a slide for your kids into rooms that wouldn't normally be suitable for this type of bed.

In addition to bunk beds with slides it is also possible to choose low loft beds with slides. These beds are ideal for bedrooms with smaller spaces as they allow more floor space to play and storage and can also be used to make a twin over full bunk bed with trundle - making it possible to accommodate two more children for sleepovers or guests. The adorable bunk bed with slide that you purchase can be rearranged to any Maxtrix combination as your child grows and changes.

The slide's fall could be dangerous.

Storage

Many bunk and loft beds have drawers that are integrated that provide a handy storage solution for bedding, clothing toys and more. The right bunk bed can aid in maximizing the space you have in a smaller area or help you organize a crowded child's bedroom.

Drawers that are built in the stairs are a perfect combination of safety and modernity and allow children to securely access their top bunk while keeping clothes as well as toys and other things neatly. They can also be an enjoyable, decorative feature for your kids' bedroom, adding to the appeal of the room. Some bunk beds that have storage for stairs are also customizable, so you can adjust the space to your family's needs.

Some loft and bunk bed models are equipped with curtains to help children feel as if they have their own space even though they're sharing a room. If your children are avid readers and enjoy reading in peace, this feature can be a huge benefit. You can purchase bunk and loft sets with curtains or use curtain rods and simple drapes to create the appearance yourself.

If you're faced with a limited space for floor space and your kids are screaming for bunk beds but you're not able to accommodate two raised beds, consider a corner loft. This design puts two elevated beds in the corner of the room. It allows the floor space to accommodate other furniture, such as a desk or a toy chest or a desk.

Bunk beds with a desk transform sleeping spaces into cozy study areas. These bunk beds are perfect for children who need a quiet space to do their homework or play games. Certain models, like the Slam bunk bed from Maxtrix comes with a solid-wood desk and bookcase that match that allows you to create a dedicated work space in your child's bedroom.

Other bunk and loft beds have a desk built at the bottom, which is ideal for children who need a separate spot to write, craft or read. This can be an excellent way to encourage the development of creativity and independent learning in the rooms of your children while helping them develop valuable organizational skills.

Style

The size of your bedroom and the habits of your child's sleep will determine the ideal kind of bunk bed for your children. If you're living in a cramped space, you might want to consider a twin-overtwin arrangement that saves the floor space, while giving both children the pleasure of sleeping in a bed together high. If you have higher ceilings, opt for an angled bunk like the one shown here. It places the ladder at the end, and leaves the top bunk bed open. This makes it easier for children to climb up and down without crashing into their heads.

A full-overfull configuration is a excellent option for rooms that are larger. It provides more storage through a deep drawer at the bottom and allows older children to sleep on a higher level without feeling like they're being ignored by their younger siblings. These bunk beds typically have an incline on the side or a staircase that offers out-of-sight storage for books and toys, as well as a strong railing with slats for security.

If you're looking to keep the appearance of your bunks simple pick a plain solid color such as gray or white. These finishes go well with nearly every kid's room regardless of whether it's a cottage, coastal or colorful palette. If you're looking to make your room more appealing wood finishes like walnut or cherry is an excellent choice. It adds warmth and contrast to an edgy or rustic room.

Kids love decorating their bedrooms, so bunks offer an opportunity to express their creative side. Bunks with a slide could be the focal point of a functional, fun children's bedroom. The slide will provide hours of entertainment for your children as they slide down with their friends or take their favorite plush animal on rides.

The staircase is equipped with shelves built into it to store books and other things. This makes sure that the beds are kept tidy and clutter-free.
