How to Build a Custom Bunk Bed

Birdhouse bunk bed

This twin bunk bed setup comes with a roof and ladder, but the circular cut-out window with ledge takes the cuteness factor up another notch. Kids will love perching in the window, while parents will love the three-sided guardrails. And the slatted roof is the perfect place to drape fairy lights for magical nights.

Architect bunk bed

For those looking for bunk bed ideas for small rooms, look no further than architect Bates Masi’s set of floating bunk beds. This solution frees up space and offers a super-clean, linear feel. Another smart solution? The shelves do double-duty as both storage and a ladder for top bunk access.

Mid-century bunk bed

Already a popular aesthetic homeowners integrate throughout their entire home, this midcentury bunk bed from West Elm hits many marks—a timeless design that is sustainably sourced.

Cottage-chic bunk beds

If you’re looking for a WOW factor, this cute cottage bunk bed is what builders’ dreams are made of. From the shingle-clad roof to the flower boxes, this charming, customizable design has crowdpleaser written all over it.

Shiplap or wood plank bunk bed

Cool bunk bed ideas must include built-in bunks wrapped in shiplap or similar. This version also involves a clever storage solution—rather than leave the space at the foot of the beds empty, a pull-out closet was built.

Designer bunk bed

Steps, shelves galore, and the option to sleep in a full-size bed below or a twin bed up top? Yes, please. Amber Lewis of Amber Interior Design offers tons of storage (don’t overlook the built-in drawers) executed in a refined way in this handy design.

Triple bunk beds

What do you do if you have three kids you want to accommodate in one room? You build a triple bunk! As long as you have enough ceiling height, no rule says you need to stop at two beds for a bunk. Check out Foxhole Farmhouse’s how-to instructions on their Instagram highlights.

Suspended rope bunk beds

With rope-wrapped steel braces anchored to ceiling hooks, this oak bunk bed is affixed to the wall for added security. Natural materials evoke a light, nautical vibe and contribute to the illusion that the top bunk bed is floating in the air.

Cozy and private bunk bed

The setup of this bunk bed is fairly traditional—the base is built using 2x4s and secured to the wall, but what makes this a cool bunk bed design is the simple addition of an MDF-built arch—bringing a bespoke touch to an otherwise ordinary design. The arch also hides a curtain rod that holds lush velvet privacy curtains for an even cozier look and feel.

Private bunk beds

This is a perfect bunk bed solution for growing kids who share a room but would like more privacy. You can create a sense of solitude with these bunk beds—thanks to their uber-clever center-divider design.
