In order to rationally equip a children's room and organize the space, it is necessary to think through the details of the furnishings, taking into account the area of the room. When there are two children, and the room is not large, one of the modern and original solutions is a bunk bed with a wardrobe, which combines several sleeping places and also serves as a storage place for clothes. This design will easily fit into any interior due to the variety of models.
Varieties
A multifunctional bunk bed with a table and space for storing things should be combined with the interior of the room. That is why it is necessary to choose the right type of structure. There are various models on the market:
- loft bed with side wardrobe;
- wall bed;
- furniture set with several storages;
- design with corner cabinet, table;
- corner berth;
- transformable bed.
For families with two or three children, a bunk bed with several sleeping places and a work area located below with side cabinets is suitable. The tabletop can be built-in or retractable. An additional bed is located parallel or perpendicular to the upper tier.
A loft bed is distinguished by the presence of one sleeping place at the top of a multi-level structure. The lower tier is equipped with a work area and storage system. The tabletop can be rectangular, corner with additional vertical shelving.
If the room is long enough, you can choose a wall consisting of a bunk bed with a table below and a wardrobe. Placing furniture along one surface will significantly save space. Depending on the location of the upper bed, it is possible to place additional hanging shelves and racks. For a multifunctional storage system, it is permissible to use several cabinets that will be installed on different sides of the bed.
For a room with non-standard dimensions, the optimal solution would be a corner model. A curved wardrobe can serve as a support for the upper tier of the bed. A corner berth is a compact option for completing a room with limited space. A special feature of the model is the location of the lower bed perpendicular to the second floor. The free space accommodates a desk and a vertical shelving unit.
A two-level transformable bed is a popular multifunctional furniture option. Thanks to modern mechanisms, the lower berth turns into a work space. Two beds can be folded into one wall, which can be used as a niche for storing things.

Bed dimensions
The size of the bed depends on the age and height of the child. They can be single-tiered or double-tiered, for schoolchildren and newborns. Consider options for a bed with a table.
The most common model is a standard sleeper with a bed at a low height with a table and drawers built into the stairs. It is equipped with special sides that protect the child from falling while sleeping. Perfect for children of school and late preschool age. Its dimensions are approximately 0.9 * 1.9 meters, the optimal width is 80 centimeters.
A computer or desk is an important part of any children's or teenager's room.
Bunk bed for two children. It looks like this: on the first and second tiers there are beds, and on the side there is a table with shelves for things. The dimensions of such a sleeping place are equal to standard ones. The height of the bed should be chosen in accordance with the height of the ceiling, that is, the child on the top tier should be comfortable.
Each manufacturer tries to make their products functional and at the same time interesting in appearance.
Another type of loft bed is designed for newborns. The bed is attached to the changing table, so it will be convenient for the mother to swaddle the baby and put him to sleep. The crib is equipped with shelves for storing small items. Such a sleeping place should not be too large (the child will be scared and uncomfortable) and too small (the baby is growing too quickly).
When purchasing a bed, you need to look at how the manufacturer has applied known standards to their design project.
There are some rules for choosing a bed:
- For children of primary preschool age, the size of the bed should correspond to the following parameters: width about 50 centimeters and length about 110;
- For children of senior preschool age, it is recommended to choose a width of 70 centimeters and a length of 140 centimeters;
- For junior classes, it is better to choose a bed of approximately 0.8 * 1.6 meters;
- For high school students, the parameters should be about 0.9 * 2 meters.
You also need to rely on the individual characteristics of the child, since only standard sizes are given as examples, but the baby may be smaller or taller.
A child will feel comfortable on such a bed if all the parts are combined correctly and comfortably.
Cabinet options
A functional bunk bed is installed together with racks and shelves. Cabinets differ in shape, size, and door designs. The type of structural element in prefabricated models must be selected taking into account the characteristics of the room. Wardrobe options for bunk beds:
- straight;
- corner;
- radius;
- swing;
- coupe.
As a standard, a straight cabinet is located below next to the table or on the side of the structure. The rectangular model can act as a built-in element of the product and be fixed on the first tier. The wardrobe can be placed separately as an independent object of the bed-wall set. The corner wardrobe, which is part of the structure, is located on the lower tier and acts as a support for the upper berth. The difference between radius shelving and doors is their curved, flexible shape.
Depending on the type of doors, cabinets can be hinged or compartment. The swing system involves the presence of facades that are fixed to the furniture body and opened using external fittings. The wardrobe is equipped with sliding doors.
The choice of product dimensions depends on the characteristics of the furniture set and the area of the room. The dimensions of the built-in wardrobe are proportional to the parameter of the lower tier, which is calculated in proportion to the height of the bunk bed. To select side cabinets that are part of a transforming bed or wall bed, you must take into account the length of the room and the distance between adjacent interior items.

Design and types of wardrobes in bunk beds
A wardrobe is an integral part of the interior of an apartment, house or cottage. It serves for organized storage of things folded or hung. The cabinet is completed depending on the preferences of its users, their age, gender.
What kind of wardrobes are included with bunk beds?
Bunk beds are equipped with wardrobes of various models. It is not only beautiful, but also practical.
Experts recommend choosing materials for the cabinet that are durable and wear-resistant. The most suitable materials for a children's room are MDF, chipboard, and plywood.
Functionality is also important for a cabinet, especially if it is designed for two young users. In this case, two identical storage areas are provided. They can be located together under common facades, or they can be located on opposite sides of a bunk bed.
For the convenience of users, it is recommended to add drawers to cabinets. This will allow you to store underwear and hosiery separately from the rest of your clothing. The drawers should be located at the bottom of the cabinet to make them easier to use even for small children.
In the case when a bunk bed is used by children of different ages, it is better to arrange the location of the closet so that both the small child and the older one can use it comfortably. To do this, you can divide the facades into parts so that the younger child can easily open the doors, and the older child’s clothes can fit freely in height.
Filling cabinets
The most important thing when choosing a cabinet is its internal content. The cleanliness and order in the room depends on this. In the traditional version, the cabinet is necessarily equipped with a rod, shelves, and drawers.
The bar is either traditionally located in a horizontal position at a convenient height, or made in the European way, that is, attached to the top shelf and pulled out when necessary. The second option is suitable for shallow cabinets.
It is better to make shelves at a short distance so that all things can be divided according to their intended purpose, and not piled on one shelf. The upper shelves can be made wider to store large items, such as pillows, bed linen, blankets, rugs and so on.
Modern drawers are made with soft closing or even with closers. It is very convenient, silent and safe.
Door opening systems
One of the main points when choosing a cabinet is the system for opening its doors. Modern manufacturers are ready to offer any convenient opening, but the most popular are:
- swing;
- compartment;
- folding.
Hinged facades are doors that are attached to the body with special hinges and are opened using a handle by pushing towards you. This opening system saves the internal space of the cabinet, since it does not require additional space for fasteners, and the hinges simply either cut into the facade and body, or are overlapped.
Sliding doors are also called compartment doors, as they are made according to the principle of a sliding wardrobe. This option is very convenient when the closet is deep enough and the owners want to save space in the room. Parents of young children, whom they teach to be independent and orderly, will especially appreciate this opening system. Opening such doors does not require additional effort.
Folding doors based on the “accordion” principle are not used so often, although they look very modern and original. This is because opening them requires a lot of space both inside and outside the cabinet. Moreover, they still open louder than other door options. The folding system is usually installed on the principle of suspension to the top shelf.
If the area of the room is small, then the option of sliding facades will be the most convenient. At the same time, it will be easier to arrange other pieces of furniture in the room, without taking into account the opening of doors. If the room is of sufficient size, buyers can choose any opening of the cabinet fronts.
Facade options
Manufacturers call the doors of a cabinet, chest of drawers or cabinets a façade. Technologically, the facade is represented by a base, which is often made of MDF, chipboard or plywood, and an external cladding, which is represented on the modern furniture market by PVC film, plastic, acrylic, and glass.
A bunk bed with a wall looks unusual and beautiful due to the decoration of its elements. For example, in modern factories they are increasingly using photo printing, that is, applying images to the facade. For preschool children, the image of cartoon characters is popular, while for older children something abstract is suitable.
Teenage girls will probably prefer a mirror as an insert. And boys of high school age like something sporty and dynamic.
If you want to make a room comfortable for children of different ages or genders, manufacturers suggest decorating the facades with colored methacrylic glass, for example. Such doors look stylish and original, but at the same time they do not oblige the owners to subordinate the interior to certain images.
Accessories
The durability of the cabinet is directly affected by its fasteners and fittings, which must be from trusted manufacturers. After all, children's furniture always has several users - both parents and children themselves, and you also need to take into account the presence of active and curious little guests in such a room.
It is best to purchase rods inside the cabinet from metal rather than plastic. This is due to the fact that metal can withstand heavy loads without changing shape. In this case, the plastic is more susceptible to deformation.
It is recommended to choose hinges for facades with galvanic coating; they last a long time and are very resistant to mechanical damage. Don’t forget about door closers, this will protect little users from injury.
Table Features
When choosing a two-level bed equipped with a desk, you need to decide on the shape of the study space. The height of the tabletop depends on the height of the person. Work surface types:
- rectangular;
- radius.
The classic version of the desk is complemented by shelves, racks, and drawers. The optimal size of a rectangular tabletop is 60 x 120 cm. The radius table is suitable for corner furniture sets. The curved shape of its working surface is ergonomic and comfortable to use.

Design and placement

Children's bunk beds are decorated in different ways. They can be made in the form of a bus, fire truck, ship or rocket. Girls will love the design in the shape of a castle, tower or dollhouse.
When choosing and installing furniture, you need to pay attention to its safety. It must be made of high-quality, reliable materials. The upper berth must have sides 20 cm higher than the mattress. They are needed even if the bed is intended for an adult. And for small children, you can additionally install limiters. The staircase should be comfortable. It would be good if it was made in the form of a chest of drawers with a stepped arrangement of drawers. Such designs take up a lot of space, but are safer.
When placing a bunk bed, you need to take into account the features of the room. This design is bulky; most often it is placed along the wall in the corner. It is necessary to ensure that the furnishings do not cover the radiator. In some cases, you can use the product as a partition, placing it with its end facing the wall. Then it will divide the room into zones.

Features and Benefits
This design has quite a lot of advantages. The main one is the ability to use the product for rational organization of space in a small room. The model allows you to simultaneously acquire several pieces of furniture at once - a comfortable sleeping place, a closet, shelves, drawers, a table.
Typically, this type of furniture is used to accommodate two children. When they live together, it is difficult to provide each of them with a separate comfortable area to rest at night. A two-story children's bed is a design that includes two sleeping places located one above the other and built-in storage drawers. This furniture is very compact.
A loft bed with a bed on the second tier is comfortable for one person. Below there is space for storing things. Such a compact structure allows you to free up space in the room. Besides this, it has many other advantages:
- functionality - used as a bed, wardrobe, chest of drawers, shelving, often there is also a work desk below;
- versatility - placement is possible in rooms for different purposes;
- recommended for children from 3 years old, convenient for teenagers and adults;
- with its help you can divide the space into zones and highlight a children's corner, which is important for a one-room apartment;
- budget cost - this design will cost less than two separate beds and a wardrobe;
- A variety of models allows you to choose the appropriate option and design.
The disadvantages of such furniture include bulkiness and stationary nature. It is attached to the wall, so it is difficult to move the structure to another place. In addition, the inconvenience is associated with height - the child may fall, and if the ceiling is low, there is a risk of hitting him with his head. If an inconvenient staircase is chosen, going down it becomes unsafe.
The simplest designs with linear placement of beds on top of each other and a wardrobe on the side are often installed in camps or hostels.
Manufacturing materials
To produce a two-level bed, equipped with a desk and cabinets, you need to use high-quality raw materials. Manufacturing materials must be durable and reliable during operation. The frame of the structure is made of solid wood. Hard wood and laminated particle boards are suitable for countertops, drawers, and shelving. Alternative options are MDF boards, natural solid wood. The base of the bed is made of metal and secured with a sheet of plywood to secure the mattress.
Material of manufacture | Advantages | Flaws |
Solid wood | reliability, attractive appearance, environmental friendliness | high price, careful care |
Chipboard, MDF | attractive appearance, affordable price | fragility, high susceptibility to mechanical damage, presence of harmful chemicals in the composition |
Metal | reliability, durability, safety, ergonomics | high price, heavy construction weight |
For sleeping places, it is recommended to give preference to orthopedic grilles - a higher quality material compared to a hard bottom. The base of the bed, located on the lower tier, should consist of metal elements. Since this place is often used as a play area, it must be durable. For the upper berth, orthopedic grilles are suitable - latoflexes, made of curved slats-springs.
