Mixing Work With Pleasure – Loft Beds With Desks Underneath

What would you say the best thing about loft beds is? Most certainly, it would have to do with how space-efficient they are. They let you save a lot of floor space and use it for a variety of other things. One of the best uses for those spaces is to turn them into a workspace. Lofts beds with desk underneath are gaining popularity every day.

For the kids: homework and sleep under one roof.

Having a loft bed with a desk underneath is a great option for the kids’ room. They get to do their homework and then climb right into bed.

Until the kids are big enough to do homework and use a desk, you can turn this space into a play area for arts and crafts.

By turning the space under the bed into a work station, you gain storage space that a regular desk wouldn’t normally offer.

It’s important for kids to associate this area with comfort and beauty so make it attractive with a puffy seat or a colored lamp.

The structure of the desk lets you build three platforms all of which can include storage. Place the computer desk where there’s more light. This elegant design is now available at the special price of $2,199.

The simple desk in this case is merely a shelf attached to the two panels holding the loft bed. There’s no clever or hidden storage but, even so, the space is wonderfully organized.

There’s a lot going on here. A lot of different functions and elements are put together like pieces of a puzzle. The desk is very cleverly designed with a pull-out extension and three small drawers underneath. There’s also additional storage as well as three open shelves.

Given the raw simplicity of this loft bed as well as the finishes and materials used here, the whole desk and bed combo has a chic industrial look, a style that could work for a teen’s room perhaps.

The bed is almost unnoticeable. The white frame disappears into the background and the way the storage cubbies are placed there allows for a very smooth transition between the two functions.

For the adults: bedrooms become home offices and vice versa.

Adults needs a little more space when it comes to work stations so this design would be a very nice fit for a modern bedroom. The simplicity of the design makes the room feel a little formal so perhaps you’d need to compensate with cozy fabrics.{found on 777designz}.
