Loft Bed with Desk for Small Room & Study Environments

Loft Bed with Desk for Small Room & Study Environments

Back to School is a great time to create the right environment for your child to get serious about school. The kitchen table may do the trick when nobody else is around, but seriously... when is that ever the case? When you are a kid, staying focused is tough – and siblings, pets and parents can be terribly disruptive when it’s time to hit the books. So here are some simple ideas and considerations to help you create the right study environment for your child to focus and learn.
back to school room designsEven the smallest room can become a functional space for studying and reading. The best way to save space and maximize small rooms is to raise the bed off the ground (also called “Lofting the bed”) and use the space underneath for desks and storage. There are many loft bed designs, and choosing the right bed size and bed components depends largely on your child's height and needs. As you approach the time to customize your child's unique bed look, here are some of the main options to pick from:

  • Twin, Full, Twin XL, Full XL & Queen bed sizes
  • Low, High or Ultra High bed heights
  • 3 Headboard styles (panel, slatted and curved)
  • 3 Finishes (white, natural and chestnut)
  • One, two and three bed designs for shared rooms
  • Different combinations of desks and storage options for studying and keeping the small space tidy

Your end result is a functional bed with desk that maximizes small room layouts for at-home learning, school at home, homeschooling, homework and virtual classes.high loft bed with ladder and desk

Low Loft Bed with Desk

Consider a low loft for younger children. Ideal for kids 6 – 10, the low loft bed is 50.75 inches tall and creates 32.75 inches of space underneath the bed. Maxtrix offers desks that slide exactly underneath the low loft so they can be pulled out when it’s homework time, and tucked underneath the bed when studying is done. A great “side effect” of this solution is that desktop clutter is automatically eliminated!twin low loft bed with deskAny of the desks come with castors so they can easily slide in and out. They can be used as freestanding desks too, if you decide to re-configure the room as your child grows. Here is an example using our "Box" low loft, which can be equipped with storage units like bookshelves and dressers or combined with a desk and chair to create a cute study environment. twin low loft bed with ladder desk storage dresser

Mid Loft Bed with Desk

Ready to upgrade for an elementary or middle schooler? Try a mid loft bed with desk. The mid loft stands 61.5" tall, which is better for growing, older kids. The extra height allows for more drawers in a dresser or more shelves on a bookcase. Here are all of the bed heights for referencing:

One of our most popular mid loft bed configurations is called the Bling with a study desk, dresser and bookcase. You can move the furniture pieces around to fit your needs, and the desk rolls in and out as needed.

High Loft with Desk

A high loft with desk is a popular choice for tweens, teens and even college students, as they provide plenty of headroom and space to add desks or shelves underneath. Maxtrix high lofts are 71 inches tall, and provide 53 inches of headroom.
