25 Space-Savvy Small Kids’ Bedroom Solutions: From Bunk Beds to Smart Shelves

When it comes to rooms where you need to maximize space, kids’ rooms come only next to the kitchen!

You can start with something as simple and yet perennially popular as the bunk bed and move on to smart modular shelves and a whole lot more. This is a look at 25 of such smart ideas –

Bunk Beds that Save Space

One of our favorite ideas to save space in the kids’ bedroom, bunk beds are easy to incorporate and do not demand a lot in terms of resources as well. Having grown up in a home with four kids, we totally understand the value of bunk beds and all the practicality they bring to a small home with a single kids’ room. A wall of bunk beds is currently a hot trend and is perfect for those sleepover parties that your little ones so much love. You can even create custom bunk beds that add to the theme and style of the bedroom and do so without wasting space. Think out-of-the-box to create that amazing kids’ bedroom with limited square footage!

Maximizing Space and Corners

Many homeowners often forget that the corners are an important part of the room and have plenty to offer when it comes to smart spatial solutions. Custom corner wardrobes, shelves and cabinets can be created to meet the specific demands in the kids’ room. While open shelves allow you to create beautiful displays and can be used as bookshelves as well, closed cabinets allow you to tuck away stuff with ease. There are times when beds and bunk beds can be placed in the corner as well to free up rest of the room and to create additional play area or even home workstation.

Creating Custom Look with Right Theme

Just because the bedroom is small, that does not mean you need to compromise on the style of the room or the space-saving solutions you wish to try out. In the small eclectic bedroom, you can try out shelves and cabinets in multiple styles while modern bunk beds can fit into rooms with a wide range of themes. Instead of just shelves, cabinets and bunk beds, you can even think of idea like a loft bed with workstation underneath or a Murphy bed to create that additional space out of nothing!

  • Waverley Residence

    Designed for a young couple, the 5,000 sf home and 1,700 sf back house sit on a flat 21,000 sf lot in a 1920’s Palo Alto neighborhood (a few blocks away from Steve Jobs’ residence). The architecture is a study in strong simple composition and is museum-like with its highly refined materiality and emphasis on craft. The massing defines solid and void, captures natural light, and connects the indoors with the landscape, seeking to ‘experience the outdoors from within.’ The ground floor volumes wrapped in an elongated hand-fired brick from Denmark, emphasizing the horizontality of the architecture that lays solidly on the land. Bronze-trimmed ceiling planes slide between the brick masses, and floor-to-ceiling glazed openings are captured by thin-profiled bronze frames. In contrast to the grounded brick volumes, the second floor is clad in stainless steel panels and oversized aluminum-framed windows. The lightness and openness of the second floor is nestled among the oak-tree canopies of the site. At the basement level, a wine cellar and tasting room open to a sunken landscaped courtyard. A 30ft by 10ft continuous pane of glass runs alongside the grand stairwell of floating stone steps, connecting the three levels of the house. Due to the unprecedented size of this glass in residential design, it was custom manufactured in Germany and shipped to California. This dramatic moment in the sequence of progressing through the house helps visitors feel connected to the lush landscape outside. Inside the house, materials such as a custom leather door and bronze anodized details were selected for their unique craftsman-style quality. Another custom-designed element is the steel mesh screen that wraps around to enclose the kitchen for privacy, separating this from the more public “guest hosting” areas adjacent. The steel screen slides along a track embedded into the teak slatted ceiling and disappears into the pantry when retracted. A freestanding structure set deep back into the site is a zen-like fitness/yoga studio as well as a guesthouse with a kitchenette. This dramatic stone mass opens up completely in the center to give the impression of exercising outdoors. The landscape integrates California native plant species, grasses and trees to compliment the materiality of the architecture.

  • The New Old

    It all started with a pendant light found in an exhibition in Paris. Named the New Old Light, it mixes eastern and western styles, old and modern aesthetics and encapsulated a lot of the ideals for a young Taiwanese American couple as they started their new home. This concept of the New Old extended beyond the light and became a central tenet to the renovation once the couple moved back to this space as a family with twins. The project was a small renovation of a kitchen and living room in a 1,000-square-foot condo to accommodate the family. The renovation included new floors, lighting, kitchen cabinetry, custom millwork and ceramic dinnerware for the space. The kitchen island design was inspired by Donald Judd’s library table. It had to provide adequate storage for the kitchen as well as function as an eating/work space at times. In addition, the island was constructed so that the storage volume could be removed from the bookcase legs and table top, for future use as a counter-height table. Sliding doors are constructed with hidden sliding hardware, and the design was inspired by traditional Shoji screens. Ceramic dinnerware was custom created for the kitchen space.
