Back-to-School Bedroom Ideas

Isn't it fun to watch children grow up? Their personalities, interests, and needs all change with age.

As kids (and parents) across the country are getting nervous about school starting again, let's embrace the fun aspects of the season! Redesigning or decorating your kids’ room can add some fun to the back-to-school season.

Kids need functional spaces to learn, grow, and focus when they return home. This is where we've got you covered. Take a look at our top five loft bed and bunk bed design categories for back to school. These kids’ beds, bunk beds, and loft beds with desks underneath are perfect for elementary through college.

1. Twin Bunk Bed with Desk for Shared Room 

Sleep two and save space with a bunk bed with desk. This bedroom solution is the perfect mix for sleeping and studying while also maximizing space for siblings or sleepovers.

With a twin over full bunk bed for kids, the bottom bed is a little larger, perfect for older siblings and growing kids. Use the space under the stacked bunk bed for an optional pullout trundle bed or underbed storage. Study desks for students can sit right at the foot of the bunk bed or completely off to the side. 

With space for focus, after-school fun, and safe sleep, what's not to love?

2. Space-Saving Loft Bed with Desk

Study loft beds with stairs are the ultimate back-to-school solution! A built-in desk is perfect for homework and hobbies, plus additional storage provided by the pullout drawers in each step. If space doesn't allow, you can also try a low loft bed or high loft bed with a ladder. 

These high-quality loft beds for kids are extremely versatile, as you can add space-saving dressers, desks, or student bookshelves underneath. These beds are available in low, medium, and high heights, so pick the best option for your room and ceiling height.

You can choose a traditional twin loft bed with desk or opt for a larger size like twin XL, full-size loft bed with desk, or a queen-size loft bed.

This look is for the young at heart. Let their little imaginations run wild with a bed with slide. They'll love their indoor playground, while the pullout desk with chair right next to the bed will give them a space for creating and learning.

Add fun play curtains to your bunk or loft for an ultimate play fort in your kids’ room. This area doubles as a cozy nook for reading and studying. Check out all our slide bed options and customize your own for the most fun study breaks.

5. Upgrade Study & Sleep with Queen & XL Beds

Growing tween, teen, or young adult? No problem!

College and high school students will appreciate the generous sleeping space offered by a Queen- or XL-size loft or bunk bed. The larger bed means more space to stretch out, plus plenty of room to grow into.

Our larger bunk bed and loft bed sizes work great in teen bedrooms. Add a long desk for study space and tackling to-do lists. You can also add a bookcase or a small dresser to a setup as an easy storage solution for small spaces.
