The Bunk Bed Book: 115 Bunks, Lofts, and Cozy Nooks Kindle Edition

4.5 out of 5 stars 27 ratings

Everyone loves a bunk bed. Whether you are five or fifty-five, there is something about a cozy sleeping nook that excites the imagination. They also have to be an infinitely practical safe-saving solution. The Bunk Bed Book offers useful tips and advice for readers seeking bunks or nooks for their own. Chapters include The Basic Bunk (covering all varieties of two-bunk beds, both store bought and custom build), The Loft (covering single beds lofted above space or storage), The Nook (devoted to beds built into nooks in a bunk-like fashion), The Triple Bunk (stacked three high and traditional bunks with a trundle), and Bunk Rooms (the ultimate in bunk-bed room, featuring spaces with more than three beds).

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Profusely illustrated in full color throughout, The Bunk Bed Book: 115 Bunks, Lofts, and Cozy Nooks is a treasury of ideas for creating welcome sleeping spaces in homes of limited accommodation.” ― Midwest Book Review Published On: 2022-08-20

“You’ll be knocked out by the breadth of innovative designs. Frequently bunk beds are an answer to a space shortage in a bedroom’s design, but after seeing these creative examples, I think you’ll agree they add architectural interest and whimsy to rooms of all sizes and shapes.” ―
Hello Lovely Published On: 2022-09-19

Got mine yesterday—fantastic book!
The rooms are inspiring and the photos are beautiful. While I may not get a bunk bed soon (unless one of the amazing Murphy models), I was especially inspired by the cozy books as I have a couple of suitable locations and grandkids to enjoy one. The practical advice at the end was very helpful and I like that the designers are mentioned. Get this book, even if you are not dreaming of bunk beds!

    As a kid, I always wanted a bed with a canopy. In my twenties, I dreamed of lofts. This book provides inspiration for cozy sleep spaces for all ages. Now, thanks to this book, a sleeping alcove with heavy curtains is on my wishlist. Beautiful images paired with really practical tips on how to plan and design a bunk, loft, or sleeping nook make this a great resource for anyone contemplating a bedroom makeover.

    We are planning to put bunk beds in my child's room, but aren't sure how to set up the space. This book has so many great ideas! We've had fun going through the book as a family, and I know this will help us make our decision. And, even if you aren't planning on putting in bunk beds, I still recommend this book! It's so fun and colorful...a great book for daydreaming.

    This book was featured in our Little Rock paper and recommended. However, I found the photos outdated and returned the book ASAP

    As cute as you’d expect a bunk bed book to be - but also practical. Helped me plan how to make the most of our space with two kids sharing a room. Inspiring photos, ideas and resources.

    Got my copy earlier this week and am really enjoying this book! We're proponents of living small (check out Laura's first book, if you haven't already), and bunks and wallbeds have been an important part of making our small homes work for us. This book does a great job laying out a variety of fun and practical options, even for those who are not space-challenged. I will definitely be gifting this to apartment-dwelling friends.
