Mid Loft Bed With Desk
A mid loft bed gives additional space for sleeping, studying and playing, but it isn't as high as a traditional bunk bed. These solid wood beds provide 1,000 lbs of weight capacity and have ladders with angled sides that extend 10" above the mattress. They also come with handrails.
Pick from slats or panels, or curved bed ends and then add matching casegoods on your needs.
Storage
A lofted bed can offer plenty of storage space. Some beds are placed over a desk that has plenty of space for a television or computer monitor and an office chair, as well as a workspace to write, draw or type, or perform other work-related or school-related activities.
A lot of our lofts have ladders or stairs for access to the sleeping space. This is a great choice for children who are young, or rooms with lower ceilings. It is fun for kids to climb a ladder to their lofted bed. Stairs and ladders are available in a variety of heights and styles to suit your room and your child's bedroom decor.
One of the most popular options for sleep, study and storage is our Kivik Sand full loft bed that comes with drawers and desk. The top platform has space for a full-size mattress, and the lower portion has four drawers and shelves that can be accessed by lifting the top bunk or taking down the ladder. The drawers are made of solid oak sides and bottoms and also metal ball-bearing glides. They are joined. If needed, a matching low captain's or low platform bed can be added for an additional sleeping area for siblings or friends.
Our McQwinn Junior Loft Bed in White with Desk and Storage is another loft storage solution. The twin size includes three drawers of storage and a small desk for students that is tucked beneath the bed, all made of solid birch in a Natural finish (also available in Chestnut). This bunk bed with a mid-height is perfect for smaller children or bedrooms with lower ceilings. At a later date the loft extender legs can be removed to convert to an ordinary full size twin or twin over full bunk bed as your kids and your family grow.
Try the Esport Gaming Series metal twin loft bed that comes with a computer desk for a sleek and modern look. The loft bed is designed to accommodate a single child, but it can be easily converted to bunk beds by adding the additional guardrails and stairs. Its clean lines and simple silhouette are sure to compliment any bedroom theme and its sturdy construction will stand the test of time.
Reading Nook
The space under a loft bed can be transformed into a cozy reading space. Include a comfy chair, a reading lamp and a bookshelf filled with baskets of books to create the perfect setting to read an e-book. Reading nooks with lofts are ideal for those who live in a studio, small apartment or have a limited floor space.
A custom mid loft bed lets you create an enclosed space under the bed that can be used as an area for reading, a desk or fort. This area can be stained or painted to match the decor in the bedroom. The frame includes windows and doors for easy access. This can be done in Twin or Full Queen size loft beds. We have a range of designs such as one called a Pirate Fort or Camp. Please contact us if you would like more information about this design.
If your child is a avid reader, a loft that has built-in shelving is a great solution. Add a comfortable chair to sit in while reading and make it a place they will want to return to time and time. Add a small table to hold books and magazines or a laptop computer to study and they will have a perfect place to stay engaged with their favorite reads.
Adjust the task lighting in the nook to provide optimal reading conditions. This will prevent eye strain when reading for long periods of time. A soft ambient lighting can create a tranquil atmosphere, perfect to unwind at the end of the day with a good read.
A mid loft bed is a great option for a kids reading nook since it's not as high as a bunk bed or a full size loft bed. Children are less likely to be scared by the height of this type of loft and will enjoy having their own space for reading, working or playing. This mid loft bed is even more enjoyable when you include a slide!
Study Area
Loft beds with desks are becoming more popular with college students who live in tiny apartments and dorms. They have also been embraced by kids, youth, tweens and teens for their own bedrooms at home because they can be used to free up space for both the bed and study space. Research shows that children who have their own study nooks and desks are more organized and have better studying habits. They also perform better in school.
A mid loft bed is ideal for this as it allows the sleeping area to be elevated and the workstation or desk can be placed beneath it. A majority loft beds are equipped with a large desk, corkboard or whiteboard and 5 10" deep shelves that are perfect for storage and studying. We offer a wide selection of footboard accessories, such as a Desk and Bookcase, as well as more. These can be added to the bed for more storage and study space.
Another benefit of a mid loft bed is that it can be converted to a normal twin or full size conventional bed by removing the slide, ladder and guardrails. This is a great option for bedrooms that are shared, where each child can have their own sleeping area and still have enough room to play and engage in other things.
The addition of a slide or top tent to a deluxe loft bed can make it more exciting for kids who want more excitement. The tent is ideal for sleepovers, and the slide makes it simple to leave the loft bed at late at night. The mid loft bed is a great play area, because it's not as high as the loft bed with high ceilings. It is also easier to manage for children who are young.
Fun!
Loft beds can be a great project for your children to complete together if they are young enough. As long as there's plenty of space between the sleeping area and the ceiling (around 2ft) your children can paint or stain their mid loft bed in any color they like. It's a great way for them to express their personality and style, and also to personalize their bedroom.
A mid loft bed is ideal to create a workspace that can accommodate a desk and a couch or chair under. You could also transform it into a comfortable reading space with a comfortable chair and bookshelf. Add a lamp or reading light to create the perfect spot to lose yourself in a book.
You can still use the mid-loft bed for storage even if you do not want to add an area for study or a desk. You can double the floor space with a loft bed to house a matching set of dressers or shelves. Loft beds are an excellent option for children who have outgrown their Barbie and Fire Truck themed bedrooms and are now tweens and teens.
Install mid cabin bed on your child's loft bed to allow them to climb to the top. This is especially important for children with low ceilings.
