Bunk Beds With Ladders and Slides
If you're putting together rooms for siblings, maxing out your floor space, or accommodating a large family bunk beds can make fantastic use of tiny space. Just keep an eye out for things such as stairs that extend out from the ground, angled ladders and slides.
It's also recommended to remove hanging items from the top bunk because they could pose the risk of strangulation.
Ladders
The top bunk of a bunk bed can be a daunting task for children and adults alike. While some may be tempted to climb up, this is dangerous for older people, children or those with joint issues. Ladders can be a great solution to this problem and provide an easy and safe entry point for children.
There are many ladder options for kids bunk beds including straight and angle ladders. Straight ladders are attached directly to the frame of the bunk bed and angled ladders stand out a bit from either side. Angled ladders are ideal for smaller spaces and are suitable for all ages as they give more space for feet to climb up. Ladders are also available in different styles and colors so you can pick one that is in keeping with the design of your room or matches your bunk's color scheme.
A bunk bed with stairs built into the side is another great option. Stairs require more floor space than a ladder, but don't protrude from the side of the bunk so they are a good option for rooms with plenty of floor space. A lot of bunk beds for kids with stairs also have cubbies that double as storage for the bed, perfect for storing books, toys and pajamas.
If you are on an extremely tight budget, a straight ladder is an affordable option for bunk beds.

Bunk beds with slides add an exciting addition to time at bedtime.

The bed is equipped with a slide and ladder that allows for easy access to the top bunk.
The Billi-Bolli Slide Tower is another option for adding a slides to a bunk bed.

Style

If you're looking for something that's more eye-catching then a wood finish like walnut or cherry is an ideal choice. It can add warmth to rooms that are rustic or inspired by farmhouse, while still providing plenty of visual contrast through bright colors.
