Children’s Rooms: Built-in Beds and Bunks
May 9th, 2008
From Julie and Janet:
In an ideal world, we would all sleep in cocoon-like environments. We have an enduring fascination with built-in bed solutions. Here’s a roundup of architect-designed nocturnal niches:

This is a very impressive collection of built-in beds and bunk beds. Not only were the designs beautiful, the decorating and photography were top flight.

Berman’s look like they should be for a euthanasia center, but still a very nice collection.

Here is a great built in bed that is quite literally nestled into the end of a cocoon shaped building designed by Architects, Bellemo & Cat from Melbourne, Australia. Amazingly serene to sleep in, and beautifully sculptural.

Do you sell plans for any of these bunk bed designs? We particularly like the one labeled “Double Bunks for a Crowd”.

I love these beds. Is it possible to make a built in Queen sized? Does that make it hard to make the bed up? And do you need a box spring, or just a mattress?
