Finishes/Décor
When choosing a new bunk bed one of the main things to concern one’s self with is the décor of the room it will occupy. This is the time you should start paying attention to the finish of the bunk bed. There are many wood bunk beds available in many finishes. And particle board and most solid wood can be stained in almost any color and texture, so you’ll find you have many options ranging from the deep richness of walnut and cherry finishes to the lighter finishes of maple and birch. Also, standard neutral and primary colors apply, especially when looking at contemporary designs and designs for children.
We found many traditional and transitional wood bunk beds in basic white and various ‘natural’ finishes, such as maple, oak and walnut, for instance. The majority of wood bunk beds in black finishes are either modern or contemporary wood bunk beds. Metal bunk beds are either brightly colored for kids—colors ranging from sky blue to Barbie pink, or they are neutrally colored in blacks and grays, which give off a slightly masculine yet understated sense of style.
Both metal and wood bunk beds for kids and adults come in many trendy finishes, such as espresso, cappuccino, mocha and many other finishes named after Italian coffee. In fact, one can find some models that are finished in “Italian Coffee.” Either way, we thought it would be helpful to give you a little run-down on what we’ve found, so you can skip many of the tedious steps necessary to find the perfect bunk bed.
Types of Bunk Beds
Typically, one thinks of bunk beds as a necessity for shared living quarters, but a bunk bed for one person can also be ideal. It may seem odd at first, but after you consider the advantages of a bunk or lofted bed, such as superior organization possibilities as well as space saving capabilities, you’ll notice the full scope of usefulness for bunk beds is wider than previously assumed. We’ve found many uses for bunk beds in our search, whether it is metal bunk beds or wooden bunk beds, loft bunk beds or futon bunk beds.
Twin Over Twin Bunk Beds
The very first option we explored was the most standard: twin over twin bunk beds. We did most of our browsing on bunkbeds.net and all of the examples below are from there. Plus, they had the most competitive pricing we could find. One option we found was a LC Kids American Spirit wood twin over twin bunk bed, for instance. It had a trundle option for convenient storage and a rosewood finish. It was moderately priced and traditional in design. One thing to keep in mind whether looking at wood or metal twin over twin bunks is that they come in several different configurations. The model mentioned above is a standard mission-style design, but these beds also come in L-type configurations and T-type configurations as well.
Metal twin over twin bunk beds or wood twin over twin bunk beds are ideal for your kids. You’ll be able to design the perfect room with a good metal twin over twin, or make the room ultra-functional with a wooden twin over twin bunk bed with trundle storage. Anyone can appreciate the convenience of under-bed storage and trundle options.
