Bunk beds are such functional furniture. It not only looks cool and kids love it but also saves space. Whether you have two kids or want to build bunk beds for a guest bedroom, there are plenty of beautiful plans available. And today I'd like to share with you 10+ amazing DIY bunk beds ideas, most of them with plans.
1. Full over full bunk bed
This is the project that I've done for my kids a few years back. We already moved from our old house, and the kids have separate rooms now, but my kids loved their bunk beds! I remember all parties that they had before going to bed. And since it's so spacious, it was never a problem to have a sleepover.
This bed is very easy to make, and when I came up with a design, I wanted it to look modern, which I think I archived.
Find the full tutorial on my blog or watch a video with instructions for how to build it here. Printable plans are also available at my shop.
