Create a Bunk Bed and Desk

Looking for something fun and practical for a shared kids' room this school year? Look no further! Our smart bunk beds and study desks are ready for back-to-school busyness. Sleep more, add storage, and create space for them to focus and thrive.

Let's dive into more ideas for your bedroom. From preschool through elementary and into high school, we have the solution for every age, stage, and setup.

Choose Your Bunk Bed Configuration

First things first, pick your base bunk bed. Once we've done this, we can move on to more storage and study the details.

Start off by determining how many kids you need to sleep on a regular basis. For sibling duos, our standard bunk beds are a great solution. Smaller rooms can benefit from a twin-over-twin bunk bed. If your children are different ages, pick a staggered bunk bed like our bestselling twin XL over a queen. This gives the older sibling more space to stretch out below, while the younger one can climb up into their exciting sleep space.

That's just the beginning! From floor bunk beds to full over full and beyond, we have endless solutions. Explore our complete collection of bunk beds or head to our custom bunk bed guide to get inspired. 

Triple Bunk Beds

A less commonly known but equally smart solution is a triple bunk bed. Exclusive to Maxtrix, this unique bedroom solution is perfect for siblings of three.

For smaller bedrooms with high ceilings(at least 10' tall), a stacked triple bunk bed is the way to go. Kids can sleep safely and soundly while enjoying the benefit of more floor space.

If your family's space has more room to work with and shorter ceilings (at least 8' tall), L-shaped triple bunk beds are for you. Fitting neatly into the corner of your bedroom, the open underbed space is perfect for adding a desk or storage.

Quad Bunk Bed

Have four children to sleep? Or maybe your family loves to host sleepovers? Whatever it may be, our quad bunk beds are here to help.

This bedroom setup is available in two configurations: corner and staircase in the middle. Similar to our L-shaped triple bunk bed, the L-shaped quad bunk bed fits right into your bedroom's corner for a neat, super smart bedroom transformation. 

Our quad bunk bed with a central staircase is another option. This setup is better for narrow rooms with long walls and tight corners. Fitting four, your top-bunk sleepers can climb up the stairs into bed. Even better, the staircase has built-in storage cubbies for easy stashing!

Bunk Beds with Trundles

Note that an occasional third or fourth kid can sleep comfortably on a pullout trundle that pulls back under the bed when unused. This is ideal for saving valuable square footage and maximizing space. Add a trundle to an "L" or Corner Bed configuration or a traditional bunk bed. 

Add a Desk

Next, let's add some smart study space!

For our traditional bunk beds and quad bunk beds, place the solid wood desk at either end of the bed. With no gap between the bed frame and storage desk, this layout uses less floor space, leaving kids room to play and hang out, and add optional storage to other parts of the room. For triple bunk beds, slide a durable desk into the open underbed area; no extra floor space is required.

As for the desk itself, you've got options. For space-conscious families, choose a small 2-drawer desk or a 1-drawer desk. For more flexible rooms, our large 2-drawer desk or 4-drawer desk creates a spacious study zone.

Every Maxtrix desk is made with durable hardwood for a study setup that lasts through years of projects and crafts. Explore our study desk guide, or head straight to our complete collection of desks. 

Add Storage

Need a home for clutter, clothes, and school supplies? Our solid wood storage solutions are the way to go.

From compact 3-drawer dressers and 1-drawer nightstands to wide 6-shelf bookcases, you've got options. If you're running low on room, add underbed storage or bedside trays to your bunk. Taking up no additional floor space, these smaller storage setups add a big punch of bedroom function.

Loft Beds With Desks

Maybe you don't need all of the extra beds, but still want an elevated kids' bed with a desk. You might be thinking about a loft bed. In fact, the only difference is the absence of the bottom bunk. (Find out more in our Bunks vs. Lofts Guide)

Here are a few examples of our best-selling loft bed with desk! Try an elevated high loft with a desk underneath. There's plenty of space for study & storage.

FAQ:

What are the benefits of kids' bunk beds with desks?

Kids bunk beds with desks combine multiple bedroom functions within one coordinated setup. They provide sleeping space for siblings or guests while creating a dedicated area for homework, reading, hobbies, and school supplies.

What is the best bunk bed with a desk for a shared room?

The best configuration depends on how many children regularly use the room and how much space is available. L-shaped bunk beds work well for two children, while triple corner bunk beds provide sleeping space for three and leave room for a desk or storage.

Can you add a desk to a traditional bunk bed?

Yes. A traditional stacked bunk bed can be paired with a freestanding desk beside the bed or an appropriately sized desk attached to the bed end. Maxtrix desks are designed to coordinate with different bed sizes, heights, and layouts.

Are L-shaped bunk beds good for bedrooms with desks?

L-shaped bunk beds are a smart choice for combining sleep and study space. Their corner configuration creates useful open areas around the lower bunk where desks, dressers, or bookcases can fit.

How can I add another sleeping space to a bunk bed?

Families who regularly need three sleeping surfaces can choose a triple corner bunk bed. For occasional guests, a pullout trundle can be stored beneath the lower bed and tucked away when it is not being used.
