Loft beds get me really excited.
What kid wouldn’t love a loft bed? I mean, it would of been my dream come true.
My friend Whitney and her husband Kevin, recently built this loft bed for their little boy.

I absolutely love it.
Those two are truly amazing.
Check out how they did it here.
Since Emory will be turning 4 next month (what!!) I am toying with the idea of doing a loft bed in her room.
Of course mine wouldn’t be built-in (my construction skills are weak!), but semi-custom.
I love the look, how much space they save, and how functional they are.
So what are your thoughts, thumbs up or thumbs down to loft beds?

I love Emmys bed now though! 🙂
Danielle Oakey Interiors says
I do too but space is really becoming an issue! We have to store all her toys in her room (boo for 2 bedrooms!) and I am trying to figure out the best way to use the space.

I really love loft beds in a kids room – they free up so much space for playing or schoolwork. You just have to make sure they can get down to go to the bathroom at night!!!
Alex {Things That Sparkle} says
As a kid this was always my dream! Like a built in tree house.
Danielle Oakey Interiors says
Me too! I think they are so magical.
Laura@happyroost says
Love them! Although it does make changing the sheets more difficult…..

Good point, that means I should probably teach Em how to change her own sheets? lol

Super fun! I’m also loving the ‘hanging beds’ that Ana White has made so intriguing!
Danielle Oakey Interiors says
I’ll have to check those out!

I think a loft bed is every kids dream!

thumbs UP – as long as they have a bumper 🙂 Believe it or not I slept in a lofted in bed in college and yes, I even had a bumper (did I really just admit to that?) It can be scary up there!!
xo, Liz
Danielle Oakey Interiors says
Agreed, I am a little terrified that she will fall out!
Brittany {Gallery No. Eight} says
Love a loft bed!! Always wanted one as a kid 🙂
Courtney {a thoughtful place} says
I LOVE! Last time I had one was in college and I loved it. I think they are adorable.

OK, keep me posted. My daughter (9) wants a loft bed so she has room to do artwork below and have all of her materials away from her brothers. But, most I’ve found in stores look cheap and non-awesome. HELP! My father in law has mad skills, I just need a design that’s not going to make me barf.

What a fun room! I know that my boys would absolutely love to have one.

I think they are great space savers, but they do have their downside (changing sheets as someone mentioned and safety). We thought about it for our daughter’s room when she was younger, but we have ceiling fans since it gets so hot in the summer…the loft would be too close to it no matter where we placed it so we opted for a regular bed instead.
Kirsten Brockner says
My friend had one for her son and didn’t like it. She said its hard for cuddling, reading books, and when they get sick. I’ve been considering a one or a bunk bed for a fun place to hang out and then sleep on the bottom, but that wouldn’t solve your problem.

So cute! I wish I had had a loft bed as a kid! The pennants hanging from it remind me of Robert Allen’s Rancho Rio fabric that we have on our site. It would be perfect to do some drapes or maybe a pillor, quilt, or other bedding with before your friends’ little one isn’t so little!
Or if you’re looking for a girl, Fabricut’s Fliying high is also delightful!

Thumbs up to the loft bed! I recently purchased one from Ikea for my daughter who is five for the same reason. Now she has more room to play and loves the bed! It was also fun re-designing her room!
