Kids love the outdoors. They love summers spent at camping, or at the cabin, and they love summer camp! When friends of mine were redecorating the bedroom of their two sons, they contacted me to help them find the perfect furniture for the room. They wanted to recreate the look and feel of a summer camp cabin, but one that the boys could enjoy year round.

Right away, I thought about how important the bed would be. The room isn’t huge – just about 300 square feet – and it still needed to fit a desk and a dresser. Naturally – I thought of bunk beds, which are great for kids under 12 that have to share a room – and that’s when I came across these perfect rustic log bunk beds!

They would look right at home at a mountain lodge or in any bunkhouse at the summer camp. Made of sturdy and solid aspen, cedar and even hickory logs – these bunks were the perfect fit for this family’s design needs.

Once the bed was put together in the room, the parents painted the room a lovely woodsy alpine green, with a chocolate brown trim. They placed glow in the dark stars on the ceiling so their little ones felt like they were sleeping under the Milky Way every night. Decorated with hunter green sheets and an outdoors themed bedding, and the bedroom was a complete success.

Bunk beds are almost a necessity for families with more than one child. Everyone who had one, has great memories of their bunk beds, because kids love them.

When considering a bunk bed for your children’s room, the first thing you should know is that it won’t stay a bunk bed for long. It will magically transform itself into a pirate ship, a fort or the northeast tower of a faraway castle. It will be the ringside seat to many an adventure.

Bunk Beds are Popular

Not only are bunk beds a popular choice when decorating a bedroom that is to be shared by siblings, it is also an easy decorating fix for small rooms. Since most kids will be tempted to treat a bunk bed like a jungle gym, there are some things to consider, especially if you’re purchasing one for the first time.

Bunk Beds for 6 and up

If one or more of your children you are buying the bunk bed for is under six, plan on putting them on the bottom bunk. If they don’t have an older sibling who will sleep in the top bunk, wait until they are older; then their motor skills will be developed enough to handle climbing.

Bunk Bed Safety

You want them to be as safe as possible. Ensure that the bunk bed you’re interested in meets all current safety standards; the top bunk is enclosed (all four sides) and is made of eco-friendly materials including a non-toxic paint or stain finish. To prevent the most common accidents associated with bunk beds, set a small handful of ground rules that can be easily enforced by you such as no jumping off the top bunk and using the ladder at all times.
