Style
The best bunk bed design for kids will depend on the size of your space and your child's sleeping habits.

For larger rooms the full-over-full arrangement is also a good option. It gives more storage space by way of an extensive drawer at the bottom, and allows older kids to sleep on the higher level without feeling like they're being pushed out by their younger siblings. The bunk beds are typically equipped with a staircase or ladder on the side that provides storage space for books and toys, as well a sturdy safety rail.
If you want to keep your bunk beds simple, choose a solid color, such as gray or white.

If you want something more striking, a wood finish such as walnut or cherry is a good option. It adds warmth to an old-fashioned or farmhouse-style room but also provides plenty of visual contrast using bright shades.
Kids love decorating their bedrooms, so bunks provide a chance to show their creativity. Bunks that have been painted or stained can be the center of a lively and functional kids bedroom particularly if they are equipped with a slide that is detachable. Your children will have hours of fun gliding down the slide with their friends and taking their favorite animals on rides.
