Usual dormitories have small floor spaces that must be shared with one other or many other roommates. This kind of setup leaves small room for individual tables and chairs and other necessary furniture. Thus, one way to create more space is to go vertical!
The design is such that you have to climb up a short ladder to reach your bed. The lower bunk bed is converted into a workstation with shelves and a horizontal desk. Optionally, there are drawers and storage compartments, too. There is enough space to include a chair without going outside the bed frame.
Advantages of Specialized Bunk Beds
Here are some of the benefits you can experience when you decide to make your bed more creative and personal!
More Space-Efficient
Loft beds with desks underneath are the #1 problem solver for apartment rooms with very small living space. When you’re with an overbearing roommate, you don’t have to store stuff or eat on the same table because you have your own just below your sleeping space.
More Privacy
When you put a loft bed with workstation inside your rental, you create more personal space for yourself especially when you’re focused on paperwork or academics. You can also lay down your many things and stuff when you’re researching for something as you don’t have to endure the feeling of having your roommate almost stepping on your stuff. Furthermore, by installing a curtain to cover your workstation, you can watch movies and/or catch a short nap.
Away from Noisy Movement
Wanting sleep after a tiring task, you then climb the short ladder adjacent to your bed. You can sleep calmly and comfortably as you won’t be bothered by your roommate’s movements because they’re below you.
Where to Buy?
Such special bunk beds aren’t common in furniture stores. But there are many to be found online. However, when you don’t have plenty of cash to buy one and pay the shipping fee, you can have it made to order.
Conclusion
If most apartment rentals with small floor spaces offer bunk beds with workstations, it would be an innovative change, don’t you think? One doesn’t have to share such a tiny space with someone they aren’t close with (as in student dorms), and they can design their workstations as they see fit.
