All of a sudden, bunk beds seem to be everywhere: You see them in upscale beach and ski homes, as well as boutique hotels like Freehand, Moxy and Proper.
And why not? Stacked sleeping spaces have always been an efficient use of space, whether you’re making room for a growing family or entertaining a large crowd. And now that they’re getting the designer treatment with thoughtful touches that make them feel almost luxurious, bunk rooms are more appealing than ever.
“We’re pretty much doing a bunk room in every house we work on,” said Jenny Keenan, an interior designer in Mount Pleasant, S.C., who creates built-in bunk beds that are appealing to children and adults.
“We try to make them elevated enough that adults can stay in them,” Ms. Keenan said. “We want them to be fun, but we also want to make sure different types of people feel comfortable in them.”
