Work-From-Home Space Under Your Loft Bed
Or, in other words – office under your loft bed.
One of the most popular ways of using the space under the loft be dis to create a little private workspace. Now, there are a few ways to create one.
- Buy a loft bed with an already built-in desk underneath. This way, you’ll save your time as the main part of your office is already created. The only thing that’s left is to get a chair and some other accessories for your office, such as a trash bin, a cute rug, some lovely wallpapers, etc.
- Create the office under your loft bed. Now in this case you’ll need more time, efforts, and most of all- creativity (but don’t worry – not too much!). Before you construct anything – measure the floor space under your loft bed carefully. After that – decide where your desk should stand. You can also add some shelves and use one of them as your desktop. After that, get yourself a nice chair, some organizers for your supplies, and other accessories to finish up the interior design of your cute underneath-bed office space.
TIP: Having more space? Consider putting a nice little couch in one of the corners under your loft bed. This way you will not only have your own working space, but also the whole private room for yourself!
Additional Storage Under Your Loft Bed
Who on Earth doesn’t need one? We all struggle to find some more space for the things that we bought following our emotions (and that obviously we don’t even need).
Great news! If you have a loft bed that has some floor space underneath – you have to use it wisely!
- Buy a lofted bed with built’in cabinets, shelves, or drawers. If you are only about to purchase a new loft bed, consider getting the one that has already built-in storage units. This way you’ll save a lot of time! The only thing you’ll have to do is to organize your stuff by putting it into those drawers and shelves.
- Create a storage space under your loft bed. Although in this case, you’ll need more time to create a storage space – it’s totally worth it! Depending on the size of the space that you have underneath your bed, consider creating a few different storage places for your clothes, books, and things like electronics that you got for Christmas and never got a chance to use. There are plenty of different types and sizes of storage boxes, clothes racks, vacuum bags, small fabric wardrobes, and so on!
TIP: If you create your own storage space, consider labeling the boxes and bags as it will be much easier for you to find the items when you need it most.
Walk-in-Closet Under Your Loft Bed
Have you ever seen a movie where people have these walk-in closets with tens of pairs of shoes are sitting on shelves? Well, you could have one too! And lofted beds could work just great to make such dream come true!
- Create your own walk-in closet. Depending on the size of the space, you can put some wide shelves along three sides of the area underneath your loft bed. Additionally, you can put some nice storage boxes under the shelves, or some cabinets with the drawers for your essentials. Instead of shelves, you can also construct some hangers for your clothes along all three sides of the area. Also, you can have both shelves and hangers in your closet, for example, by putting shelves on the two sides of the area, and leaving the third side for the clothes hanger. Use your creativity!
- Open or closed walk-in closet? Decide if you want an open closet or a private one? In case you want a closed closet – consider adding some kind of door or nice curtains to the entrance of your closet.
Lounge Space Under Your Loft Bed
If your bedroom is pretty small and there’s no space for a couch or sofa – turn the space under your loft into the lounge!
- Get some nice and comfy bean bag (or bags). There are thousands of different sizes and colors of bean bags that would boost the look of your mini lounge considerably! Depending on the space you have – get one bigger or two smaller bean bags that are soft and comfy. Here you’ll be able to take a nap or read or chill or whatever have you. Don’t forget soft and warm knitted blankets!
- Place a couch. If you have space – consider placing a nice and cute couch on one side of your mini lounge and some kind of book shelve or a table on the other. You can also implement a small end table and put a cozy table lamp on it to create a relaxing atmosphere in your lounge. By the way, warm Christmas lights would work super great in this case!
- Bring some pillows. If you want to keep the area under your loft bed more spacious – you can simply put some various size pillows and blankets underneath your bed. In this case, you should also consider having a fluffy and soft rug if you do not have one yet. Finish up your lounge interior design by hanging some cozy lights and wallpapers (or plants) – and that’s it!
TIP: Struggling to find a peaceful spot at home? You can turn the space under your loft bed into a relaxing lounge where you could take a nap yourself, meditate, or just daydream after a long day at work. In this case, consider leaving the space not too-crowded and most importantly – add the doors.
