We spend many design hours realising as much space as possible for our clients’ homes. In particular compact bedrooms can be challenging. Homes need to work to maximise space, they need to expand when guests descend, sometimes squeezing two, three, four or more beds into a single space. This can be done without the need to sacrifice aesthetics. A one of a kind solution will take advantage of the unique spaces on offer – lofty rooms might accommodate a stack of two or three, perhaps accessed more safely with a proper central staircase. Playful configurations that employ a T-shaped arrangement are great for sleepovers and really future proof a home.
Mix materials with timber structures and metal ladders and safety rails, keeping the look lightweight and airy. Clad walls with a textural ribbed timber, whilst a range of niches and cupboards make for practical ledges and secret storage! Subtle LED will illuminate recesses with flexible reading lights to serve each sleeping position.
Bunking up really is the very best solution in homes that regularly host family and friends. Holiday homes particularly benefit where guests come and go with such regularity.
Be the host with the most, allow your children to invite their friends over with ease and celebrate the sense of togetherness this delivers.
