Is This the Year of the Bunk Bed? Some Designers Think So. - The New York Times

“We’re pretty much doing a bunk room in every house we work on.” Here’s how they do it.

All of a sudden, bunk beds seem to be everywhere: You see them in upscale beach and ski homes, as well as boutique hotels like Freehand, Moxy and Proper.

And why not? Stacked sleeping spaces have always been an efficient use of space, whether you’re making room for a growing family or entertaining a large crowd. And now that they’re getting the designer treatment with thoughtful touches that make them feel almost luxurious, bunk rooms are more appealing than ever.

“We’re pretty much doing a bunk room in every house we work on,” said Jenny Keenan, an interior designer in Mount Pleasant, S.C., who creates built-in bunk beds that are appealing to children and adults.

“We try to make them elevated enough that adults can stay in them,” Ms. Keenan said. “We want them to be fun, but we also want to make sure different types of people feel comfortable in them.”

Here’s how she and other designers do it.

Before buying or building anything, measure the room so you can figure out what will fit. Ceiling height is often a limiting factor. The last thing you want is to hit your head if you sit up in bed, said Holt Williamson, a founder of the design-build firm Cedar & Oak in Austin, Texas.
