There’s nothing better than a sleepover at Grandma’s, unless, of course, Grandma has a room full of bunk beds! Having an island home often means having lots of visitors, so many homeowners are opting to turn small and out of the way spaces in their homes into bunk rooms that accommodate more guests. Bunk rooms are also becoming more popular in homes that are used as vacation rentals.
The best bunk rooms include a cozy living space, so younger guests can gather for a rousing game of UNO or an XBox showdown. But these spaces are not just for the young. We’ve come across some dream spaces that would be perfect for people of all ages!
DESIGN CUES The best bunk spaces have a mini lounging area for guests with a space to the side for sleeping. If designing for younger people, this setup provides a private play area so toys and games can be contained in just one part of the house. If creating a room for grandchildren or family that visit often, take an opportunity to “customize” the space with their favorite colors, a design theme, or monogrammed pillows.
