Need More Space and Function, Consider a Loft Bed

A few years ago a friend of mine was contemplating a move from her two bedroom Queens apartment into a studio in the East Village. In order to fit her belongings she began looking at loft beds. I thought it was a great idea while another friend questioned the aesthetic appeal of an “adult bunk bed.”

I still think that loft beds offer a great way to increase space in your home even if you don’t live in a studio apartment. I also think that they can be pretty appealing and attractive .

In the picture below a loft bed is used in a child’s room. Imagine all the fun a child can have in the cubby like space.  

 

I like the sleekness and utility of these two loft bed/office options below.
