It’s nothing new that space comes at a premium in New York City, so why not go vertical? Looking to restructure a nursery your little one has outgrown, or searching for ways to ease the growing pains of sibling co-habitation? We’re loving the idea of bunk beds as a way to add dimension–and retro kitsch!–to any kids’ room.
For the contemporary kids: Not only are these bunk beds from Pluunk sleek and modern, but they can also be deconstructed and assembled in a number of stylish and functional combinations. The juxtaposition of walnut and maple wood creates an eye-pleasing duality and the rearranging options make these bunks ultra versatile.

Precious pillows: There’s no need to accessorize both the top and bottom bunks exactly the same. We love the idea of using complementary accoutrements to keep each bed unique, but still carry a unified look. Try plush rectangular pillows from Tally Ho–the hot air balloon style will please your youngest adventurer.

From sleepovers to storage:Even when furnishing a room for just one child, bunk beds can be a fun and practical option. Try Land of Nod’s Simple Twin-Over-Full Bunk. The variance in size keeps the bottom bunk from feeling cramped and the top portion becomes great for slumber party guests, or for housing a whole zoo full of stuffed animals.

For the tween sleeper: As kids get older, the need for easy storage becomes imperative to staying organized. Perfect for hanging off of the top bunk of a cute bed set, we’re loving the End of Bed Storage from PB Teen. Featuring adjustable Velcro straps and a bevy of utilitarian pockets, this handy container is just the ticket to making the most out of your stacked beds.

To keep warm this winter: The ultimate bed accessory? A cozy blanket of course! To keep things fun for bunk beds, try picking two of Pendleton’s Counting Sheep Ecp-Wise Wool Muchacho blankets. The throw features an adorable lamb print in a different color on each side–perfect for switching things up between the top and bottom bunks.
