It may seem inconvenient to make use of an elevated bed as a way to increase storage space, but this can be extremely useful.

A lofted bed could also be used as a work station that allows a child to create a workspace to complete homework and other tasks without taking up the living space of a small room.

A lot of loft beds for kids come with a desk area beneath, but you can also add one to a regular loft bed by constructing it yourself or adapting the space underneath the bed with a few extra shelving and a built-in desk. For instance this loft bed from Wayfair (shown in white) has a desk built into the bunk's front and a bookshelf that has an adjustable ladder which doubles as rails on the sides. The simple design of this bunk makes it ideal for any bedroom with kids and the safety rails with slats are ideal for rooms with low ceilings.

A simple chair and a few accent pieces complete the design.

If your ceilings are tall enough, a full-size loft bed could be even more spacious. Pottery Barn's Waverly loft bed, for example, is available in two sizes and several options for finishes.

This bed for kids from DONCO comes with a built-in slide and ladder that's sure to delight any kid, and can be put to later if they'd prefer to take the easy route to the top in the near future.

If slides aren't the best choice for your child's age, you can still add a unique element to their loft bed by turning the bottom of the bed into a comfortable hangout space with a few chairs and rug. The comfortable space can be used for reading, relaxing, playing games or watching television with your friends.

You can buy one of these spiral staircases or build your own for a small loft bed, as seen in the bedroom designs on HGTV. The spiral staircase has an attractive X shape on the side. It can be enlarged as your children grow.

The plans include all the instructions as well as a list of the necessary materials and cuts for each component. The loft bed can accommodate a full-size mattress and also can be used as a desk or seating.

Safety

Bunk and shorty loft bed beds are a favorite among children but they also carry dangers. Many children are injured by loft and bunk beds every year, resulting in broken bones, cuts and scrapes, as well as neck and head injuries. Fortunately, the majority of these injuries are preventable and easily prevented with the proper safety measures in place.

The first step is to ensure the bunk or loft bed is positioned correctly in the room. It shouldn't be set against the wall as this can cause children to become wedged between the wall and the top of the bunk bed. Instead, allow a clear space of at minimum 3.5 inches between the bottom edge of the guard rail and the top of the mattress foundation.

When placing the bunk be sure to keep it away from blinds, curtains and windows that might hinder a child's view or cause them to fall off. The bunk shouldn't be placed near anything that can hang from the rails, including cords or toys.

A solid, sturdy frame is essential for any bunk or loft bed. Look for a frame constructed from durable materials like pine or steel. A slatted frame or platform is another option that could be safe and comfortable for your kids. Loft and bunk beds that have a solid platform or slats do not require a box spring and are safer for toddlers.

Look for a loft that has guardrails on either side of the top level, and a ladder that you are able to lock into place. Children younger than six years old should not be sleeping on the top bunk, and be sure to adhere to this rule by frequently reminding them of the dangers. A night light on the top bunk can help kids find their own way to sleep in the dark.

Another crucial safety measure is to install a loft safety net that can be attached to the corners of the top bunk to prevent children from falling off. These nets are available in a wide assortment of sizes and colors to fit any decor in the bedroom and are simple to put up.
