Bunch Your Bunk Beds in Style
For a big brood or lots of overnight guests, bedrooms with more than one set of bunks can be the ideal solution
I am a Brooklyn-based writer, who writes about all sorts of DIY ventures like cooking, crafts and decorating. When I'm not on assignment, I can be found dreaming up projects for my home, which I chronicle in my blog The Little House in the City (thelittlehouseinthecityblog.com).

Bunk beds are a staple of many childhoods. And it's no surprise that so many people sleep in bunk beds as children: Bunks are an amazing space saver. While bunk beds themselves are quite commonplace, a whole bunk room outfitted with two or more sets of bunk beds is less common — and a dramatic addition to any home.
While you're most likely to find a room full of bunks at a summer camp or a youth hostel, a bunk room can still be stylish at home. Bunk rooms can range for rustic to refined, depending on the style of the beds. And whether the beds are built-in or ready-made models, a room full of bunks can be a fun place for children (or the young at heart) to sleep. Here are 10 bunk rooms packed with style and lots of space to sleep.

scarbowcow Really like the idea of adding a double bed to the 'bunkroom.' This would work great in my multi-generational family getaway, when parents and kids have a room together: parents down below in the double and kids on top. Works better than when the kids all camp out together with parents spread around the house, since inevitably a few of the little ones get up in the night or wake up scared, etc., and wake up everyone else looking for their parents.
