For various reasons, it can be difficult or impossible to furnish a bedroom in the traditional way with a regular double bed. In some cases, when, in addition to a sleeping space, it is necessary to equip a living room or office in the room, you have to look for alternative methods to optimize the living space.
A double loft bed allows you to save space in a small room, and its stylish appearance will decorate any modern interior.

Recommendations for selection
A bed with a loft is a complex structure that must be safe, durable, and comfortable for adults and children.
You can purchase a ready-made loft bed at a furniture store or order one based on your own design.
- It is necessary to take into account the recommended height depending on the age of the children. The height of children's loft beds does not exceed 160 cm, teenage beds are made up to 180 cm high, and an adult loft is set above 200 cm.
Sellers of children's furniture are required to provide a certificate of quality and environmental safety of the product.
- The fastening and fittings of the loft bed should not raise doubts about its reliability. There cannot be any traces of rust or chips on the fasteners; after assembly, the product must not become unsteady or squeak during use.
- The loft of a bed for children should have high sides; a bed railing is also recommended for adult models.
Important tips when choosing
- the strength and reliability of fasteners is the first thing you need to pay attention to. Safety comes first;
- the staircase should have a comfortable angle of inclination, fairly wide steps and comfortable handrails;
- It is necessary to have comfortable protective sides near the berth;
- Make sure that the distance between the ceiling and the mattress is at least 1 meter, and that it is free and comfortable to move under the bed.
Options for combining a loft bed
The loft bed is combined with different pieces of furniture: a desk, a second bed, shelves for books and toys, wardrobes or a chest of drawers for clothes, a sports complex.
With a table
Most often, the lower zone is equipped with a work desk. You can use a traditional desk with a cabinet, a lightweight roll-out table, or a dressing table with a mirror. A roll-out table frees up space under the attic for playing or cleaning when needed. The photo below shows an example of a desk for a schoolchild with bright red details and a desk for an adult made of natural wood.
The attic in both cases is fenced with railings 40 centimeters high.

Since the service life of a loft bed is limited to a decade, you will have to pay special attention to the configuration. The design of the multifunctional bed is thought out to the smallest detail. A reliable frame, a comfortable sleeping area and a spacious wardrobe make this type of furniture an ideal addition to the interior of a children's room.
With play area for children
Play is a child’s way of learning about the adult world. It is important for children to have a space where they not only play, but also learn to maintain order. A loft bed allows parents to organize a play area even in a small apartment.
The bed is combined with a slide, shelves for toys, and mats for outdoor games.
With a sofa below
A loft bed solves the problem of choosing: sofa or bed? In studios, the living room serves as a kitchen, dining room and living room, so it is logical to raise the bed up and not attract the attention of guests to it.
The sofa can come complete with a loft bed, or there is free space left for it under the sleeping bed.
With two beds
In a nursery for two or in student housing, it makes sense to use the lower floor for a second bed.
With dressing room
The free space under or next to the loft bed can be used for a wardrobe. The children's dressing room is equipped with drawers and shelves so that even a preschooler can get the right thing without the help of adults.
With wall bars
The health of children directly depends on their physical development. Exercises at the sports complex develop coordination, flexibility, and endurance. The Swedish wall has remained the most popular sports equipment for many years. It is mounted on the side or at the end of the bed, as a connecting element between the attic and the lower tier.
With a crib for a newborn
If the area of the room does not allow installing a crib for a newborn next to the parent’s bed, then you have to use a compact loft bed. In this case, it is better to choose the option with lighting under the attic, because parents have to go down to the baby several times a night.
It is not advisable to use the top tier for another child, as children may disturb each other at night.
Product Features and Benefits
Models with a multi-tiered design are most often used in children's rooms. Products for adults are large in size and have a neutral design. The main structural elements of loft beds are:
- The frame determines the strength and reliability of the entire structure. Its racks are made of thick wooden beams or metal pipes. Stability in the horizontal plane is achieved by fastening the structure to the wall at several points using special clamps included in the kit.
- A sleeping place with a mattress base made of a solid sheet of chipboard (plywood) or a lattice of lamellas. A solid one will be reliable, but will not provide the necessary ventilation for the mattress. The lattice base does not interfere with normal air exchange and prevents the mattress from sagging.
The main advantages of multi-tiered pieces of furniture with a sleeping area at the top include:
- Space saving, which is important for small rooms.
- Modern design that allows you to create a unique interior and a cozy atmosphere.
- Multifunctionality of the design, determined by the presence of various shelves, drawers, cabinets and cabinets at the bottom of the loft bed or inside the stairs for convenient storage of things.
- Saving money on purchasing a table, sofa or cabinet separately.
- A wide range of models from different manufacturers made of wood, plastic, chipboard, metal.
- Long service life.
- Possibility to choose the optimal height design. Products with a second tier of at least 1.6 m provide a large amount of free space on the first level, where a work area is equipped or a sofa is installed. Low models are optimal for rooms with low ceilings. On the first tier of such products there is a storage system.
The main disadvantage of bunk beds is considered to be the unsafe use of a sleeping place located at a height. People with diseases of the musculoskeletal system will not be able to climb stairs. And in the absence of safety rails, there is a risk of falling while sleeping.
The most reliable loft bed models for adults are made to order. They use a flat staircase with wide steps and a handrail, and the height of the safety sides is at least 40 cm. During installation, the frame is fixed to the wall at 8-10 points to increase the stability of the structure.
Also, the disadvantages often include the high cost of a multi-tier attic bed compared to a regular one. However, the presence of storage boxes or a desktop on the first tier allows you to save on the purchase of these furniture elements, so the price issue is a variable minus.

Loft beds for adults and children
Children's
Even in a fairly spacious children's room, it makes sense to install this functional and compact type of furniture, thus freeing up a significant part of the space for outdoor games. When choosing a loft bed for children, you need to focus on age and personal preferences.
For kids, the convenience and comfort of the play area plays an important role; teenagers need more space for study, creativity or physical exercise.
Depending on the age of the child, several types of models are produced:
- for children 2-5 years old with a low second tier with a total height of no more than a meter;
- for children from 5 years old with play areas and a sleeping bed length of up to 160 cm;
- the sleeping area is 1.3 m from the floor;
- for schoolchildren with areas for study, sports and entertainment 150 cm long;
- for teenagers 180 cm long;
- the maximum height from the floor is 1.8 m, in this case the working space under the sleeping bed also increases.
Beds for children and teenagers are equipped not only with work areas, but also with play and sports areas. For two children, structures with paired sleeping places are installed.
If there are three children in the house, then you can buy a loft bed, equipped, in addition to the upper two beds, with a pull-out lower section.
If the room already has a desk, you can opt for a model with two functional zones. In this case, there will be more space for games and storage.
A loft bed with removable elements is very comfortable. In this case, it will “grow” with the child - at a certain point it will be possible to raise the sleeping place to a greater height and change individual parts.
For preschoolers
The industry produces special designs of such furniture intended for 2-5 year old children. Such models have a low sleeping place - the second tier is only a meter or even slightly lower from the floor. The semi-loft bed is equipped with additional sides of sufficient height.
The furniture is completely safe, without losing its functionality.
The height of the “ground floor” is quite enough for a baby. There is a desk where he can draw, as well as a “tent” for games. Pull-out elements located under the upper and lower tiers in the form of drawers are designed for storing children's things.
But still, the age at which a baby can be safely placed on the second “floor” of the bed at night is very individual. It is worth leaving him alone at the top only if he is not afraid of heights, sleeps peacefully and does not fidget in his sleep. Seat belts will also come in handy.
For teenagers
A teenager in adolescence especially needs periodic solitude. The allocated territory will allow him to calmly go about his business in his own cozy corner.
Such a loft bed should have enough shelves and drawers for rational organization of space.
For a teenager who spends a lot of time studying, it is necessary to choose models with a more spacious workplace and the ability to install a computer, printer, equipment for creative activities, etc.
A retractable corner table or a U-shaped table in this case will be the best options.
Don't forget about proper lighting. The lower tier is always insufficiently illuminated, so it will be necessary to install an additional, fairly bright light source. On the second floor you can install a small lamp for reading or viewing magazines.
For receiving guests and daytime relaxation, it is better to buy a loft bed with a pull-out sofa or couch.
It’s good if your child can modify individual elements of furniture, thereby expanding its functionality. For example, roll away a couple of bedside tables or install a compact sofa not only under the bed, but also at the other end of the room.
It is advisable if the loft bed for a teenager is equipped with a full-fledged sports corner.
The girl will need enough free space to store not only clothes, but also little things dear to her heart: handbags, straps, jewelry and other accessories.
Allow your child to independently choose the shape, color scheme and design of their area.
It should not only be functional, but also stylish and appropriate for his age. Your tips should be very tactful - after all, at this time the child is already forming his own taste preferences.
For adults
The differences between adult and children's loft furniture are only in size and finish. Single- or double-bed designs for adults are larger in size, more durable and equipped with a reinforced frame.
In their lower part, as usual, there is a work area or a folding sofa for daytime relaxation. Cabinets or shelving, just as in the case of children's furniture, are equipped at the ends. Stairs can be positioned strictly vertically or made in the form of a combination of drawers, cabinets or podiums.
The sizes of beds for adults can vary from standard 140x200 to one-and-a-half or even double. By height they are divided into low (up to 140), medium (up to 160) and high (up to 200 cm) modifications.
Models with a sofa on the lower tier are very comfortable.
You can relax on it in your free minute during the day. In a studio apartment, this furniture, despite its overall dimensions, can serve as a small living area for receiving guests. If necessary, a coffee table can easily be moved to the sofa. By purchasing a model with a retractable table, you can also create a very comfortable workplace here.
You can install a product with a built-in sofa in your office. Especially for bedrooms, loft beds with a double bed are produced. For such a room, it is wiser to purchase a model with built-in wardrobes or a wardrobe.
It is often equipped with additional bedside tables and drawers, which can easily accommodate not only bed linen, but also clothes. There are models equipped with a cradle for a newborn.
Advantages and disadvantages of the design
The idea of raising the sleeping area to the second tier is relevant in small rooms that are used as a living room or workspace during the day. A traditional bed and even a transforming sofa, along with other furniture - a table, a wardrobe, side tables, take up a lot of free space. By installing a loft bed you can solve a complex of obvious problems in a small room.
Lift bed
The bed structure is installed along one of the walls or in the corner of the room. Under the bed you can organize a spacious dressing room or install all the necessary furniture on a free space: shelves, cabinets, chests of drawers.
Room interior in Scandinavian style
The advantages of a double loft bed include the following:
- The ability to rationally use the space of a small room.
- The original and stylish appearance of the structure, its ability to create a cozy atmosphere in the room.
- Multifunctionality of furniture, the ability to optimally distribute several functional areas in a small area.
- A wide range of design solutions, combinations of materials, colors, arrangement of space under the upper tier.
- Long service life.
- The versatility of the design, which will look organic when changing the style of the interior or its color scheme.
Brutal metal design for a loft style interior
A loft bed for adults has disadvantages that should be considered when deciding to purchase one. First of all, it is a high price. Secondly, the height of the sleeping place is high, which creates a potential danger of falling and serious injury. This applies to homemade designs, and those presented in stores are made taking into account all safety measures.
When choosing a design with an inclined staircase, it is necessary to provide free space in front of it
Pros and cons of a loft bed
As we have already mentioned, this design helps save space and very often visually changes the configuration of the room. If you have a small and elongated living space, such a bed on the second tier creates a kind of two-story apartment.
And instead of a “well” room, you get a nice designer layout.
The disadvantages include the psychological discomfort of a person unprepared for such experiments, the feeling of a heavy bed base hanging over his head, and not always sufficient lighting and ventilation of the space above such an “attic.”
Single and double loft beds
The bed on the second tier of the room can be either narrow and laconic in structure and design, or wide, massive, furnished almost like a separate room.
- The first option is suitable for one person who views sleep as satisfying a physiological need. He climbed onto a modest bed, fell asleep, woke up, made the bed, and plunged into active everyday worries.
- The second option is great for married couples, especially for those who are purchasing their first home in life, which is very modest in size, for example, like this modern-style studio. Such double beds can resemble a kind of mini-hotel: a soft wide mattress, shelves for books and various small items, excellent lighting, bright panels or paintings, and other decor that is pleasing to the eye.
Some couples even set up a small workplace on the second tier if they have to huddle in a very miniature apartment.
Interior use
The multifunctional attic structure can fit into any interior. But it has maximum benefits in small spaces. If the bedroom area is small, then you can arrange a separate room under the double attic. It can be used as a work office or relaxation area. It is recommended to make walls from translucent materials, such as plastic or polycarbonate. It is better if they are sliding or mobile, then if necessary they can be removed.
Creative people whose apartment does not have a separate room for studying can arrange a studio with good lighting and ventilation under their sleeping place. Depending on your hobbies, there are musical instruments, an easel or a computer inside.
If the apartment is decorated in a modern style as a studio, then the dining and relaxation areas are often combined. By installing a table with chairs under the bed, you can organize a cozy corner for lunch or tea drinking, while saving valuable space. Also, a large storage system can be placed under the attic in the studio, so that there is no need to install cabinets and cabinets in the rest of the room.
Modern attic structures with sleeping space not only look attractive, but are also multi-functional, allowing you to experiment with design and decor, creating a cozy “room within a room” for yourself.
Loft bed decor
You can decorate such a bed in thousands of ways. The main criterion is personal preferences and the desire to hide the sleeping area from prying eyes or, conversely, to demonstrate it in all its glory. Curtains, partitions, plasterboard structures - choose any option.
A separate topic is the variety of stairs that complement such loft beds. Stairs can be of different designs.
- The vertical one is the most unsafe; even an adult can easily trip on it. Typically, such a ladder is installed at the end or side of the bed. This model is the most compact, which is why it is most popular.
If you decide to equip your loft bed with just such a ladder, we advise you to choose options with flat steps - they are more difficult to fall from than round ones.
- Another option for a ladder for a loft bed is a model that is installed at an angle. This angle can be different, and the larger it is, the more space the staircase itself takes up. In this modification, it can be straight or radius (with a turn).
- Pay attention to the drawer ladder, with flat steps in which drawers or cabinets are located. It's very convenient and safe.
- There is also a so-called chest of drawers . Access to it can be either from the side or from the steps.
- Ladder-rack is a model where instead of drawers in the steps there are shelves with side access.
- A podium staircase is a more complex design: a podium is made at half the height of the bed, and a small ladder goes down to it from above, or, conversely, a ladder leads from the floor to the podium.
Bed colors
When choosing a loft bed for a child's room, parents should listen to the child's opinion. At the same time, it is worth setting children up for light, pure colors that visually expand the space: blue, peach, light green, green.
In the adult furniture segment, brown, gray, and beige colors hold the lead.
Shades of pink and lilac combined with white create airy, marshmallow interiors for young girls.
Advice on choosing a loft bed
The choice of a children's sleeping complex depends on its functional load and the age of the children. Versions with sagging corners and thin crossbars are questionable in terms of safety.
It is better to secure a loose (overhanging) corner using one of the reliable methods:
- support it with a metal rod from below;
- duplicate with corners and metal crossbars;
- strengthen with brackets to cabinet furniture standing on its end;
- hang with a metal cable from a ceiling mount.
Pay attention to the innovations used in bunk beds for children.
- Transformers.
- Extendable work surfaces or sleeping area.
- Blocks moving on wheels.
- Folding and rotating tabletops.
- Door and drawer closers (for soft return to their original position).
- Removable dividers on shelves.
- Sliding wardrobe doors (convenient for small rooms).
When choosing, also pay attention to the design of the multi-level loft bed, style and color.
There are simple versions with a recognizable plot:
- the little princess's palace;
- knight's castle;
- captain's yacht;
- car bed, etc.
Attention! No matter how beautiful and functional a children's bed is, safety should come first. If the child is weak, it will be difficult for him to use the ladder. But this is an excellent solution for active, healthy children and adolescents, mainly boys.
A bunk loft bed is a good option for a family with 2-3 children. Check to see if the manufacturer has options for color, materials, right- and left-hand corner versions. Most of the proposed samples from the catalog come in several versions.
Buying from the manufacturer with pick-up will cost less, but check with the managers for questions about the delivery and assembly of children's furniture.
Design features of stairs
Loft beds are equipped with folding or stationary ladders. Rigidly fixed models are more suitable for a children's room. They are securely screwed to the base, safe, and allow you to climb up without much difficulty.
Manufacturers offer customers several types of stairs for bunk beds:
- Vertical. The most budget option that does not take up much space. Of all the modifications, this type is the most dangerous, and therefore is not suitable for children's furniture.
- With a podium. Outwardly it resembles a platform-podium located in the middle of the height of the structure. The plane can be used as a desk, the space under it can be used as a storage system. Suitable for children from 7 years old.
- With steps-chest. Each stage of this design is a box in which you can store things, textbooks, and toys. Loft beds with a chest of drawers take up quite a lot of space, so they are not suitable for small rooms.
- Attached. The mobile ladder is attached to the bed when necessary, the rest of the time it is stored in a niche under the berth. This design does not have a rigid attachment to the bed, so it is considered dangerous.
- Inclined. A curved or straight structure, installed at an angle to the bed, in addition to its purpose, also serves a decorative function. However, such models take up additional room space.
Aluminum, duralumin, plastic or wood are used to make stairs. Metal is reliable, but is only suitable for large models; for children's beds, it is better to choose parts made from natural solid wood.
Design Features
Such a bed is called an attic because the sleeping place is located at such a height that it can only be reached with the help of a ladder. A free space is formed below, which is used in different ways: as a dressing room, a study, a relaxation area, a library or an additional sleeping place in the form of a sofa.
Office under the bed
To go upstairs, you need to use the stairs, so this bed design is only suitable for people in good physical shape. The staircase can be made in the form of vertical slats or an inclined structure with handrails. In the second case, it is necessary that the stairs do not serve as an obstacle when moving around the room.
The ladder must be securely attached to the bed frame
A staircase in the form of boxes, the top covers of which serve as steps, will be more familiar. You can store things inside, thereby relieving a small room of unnecessary furniture.
Functional steps with containers for things
Often a loft bed is chosen as a functional sleeping place in a children's room, where it is necessary to combine several functional areas. However, a double bed for adults differs from a children's bed only in the width of the bed and a more massive supporting structure.
Loft bed in a teenager's room
Modern furniture stores offer a wide range of loft beds, so choosing the right size and design option is not difficult.
Multifunctional design with wardrobe and workstations
To make the frame, natural wood or metal is used. Laminated chipboards are used as non-load-bearing elements. On the upper tier of the structure a sleeping place is arranged, and below the free space is used depending on needs, equipping a wardrobe, workplace or living room.
A stationary bed on 4 supports can be installed anywhere in the room
The main advantages of loft beds for adults are their ability to save space, the ability to combine several functional areas in one place and an original design that will make the interior expressive and memorable.

Who is a double loft bed suitable for? This design will be a good purchase for a young family living in a one-room apartment or studio. In the lower part you can organize a living room area or a sleeping place for a child.
Comfortable workplace
Note! One of the differences between adult attics and children's attics is their height and ability to withstand heavy loads (up to 200 kg).

Additional equipment
A loft bed is a structure that combines many elements. A mandatory part of all models is the frame. If desired, the following components can be added to it:
- Tabletop. For small children, stationary modifications will be more convenient, while schoolchildren will be more comfortable studying with mobile ones.
- The stairs. For your baby, you can order shelf steps that make it easy and safe to climb up.
- Cabinet or rack. For additional elements there is a niche under the bed or table. Nightstands are also placed there.
- Curtain. The child feels more comfortable when the play area is separated from the rest of the room.
- Gorka. A wooden structure is placed near the bed to make it easier for the baby to get down.
Additional elements should not take up much space. The best options for small spaces are transformable models.
Dimensions
Standard loft bed frames are distinguished by size and are:
- Low. The height ranges from 70 to 160 cm, and the width is about 80 cm. Such models are called semi-loft beds, as they are more similar to standard types of children's beds and are suitable for children from 4 years old.
- Average. The height is about 160-180 cm.
- Tall. Models height 180 x 200 cm.
Basically, the sleeping area of a loft bed does not exceed 90 cm in width, but a model of any size and configuration can be designed to order. The height of a loft bed generally depends on the dimensions of the room, but the optimal distance from the ceiling to the bed is considered to be 70 cm.
Low models are more suitable for rooms with low ceilings, but to save space it is better to give preference to high loft beds, as the lower tier becomes more accessible and functional.
The width of a single bed is standard, but for adults, for example, a married couple, double models are also available.
When purchasing a loft bed for children, it is better to choose designs for growth in order to extend the life of the product.
Assembly instructions
Assembling a loft bed according to the instructions is quite simple, especially if it is furniture from Ikea or Hoff. It is these manufacturers who describe step by step all the stages of assembling the structure, along with images. The task is greatly simplified by the fact that in many furniture stores, in addition to delivery, there is assembly of the product at home, because there are complex structures that require installation into the wall. This applies to high loft beds.
Low and small models can be delivered assembled if room doorways allow this.
If the owner decides to assemble a loft bed on his own, then he should start by assessing the room. First, you need to decide from a planning point of view where the structure will be installed. It all depends on the types of fastening of the models and their configuration.
Small models of children's beds require virtually no installation.
If it is a loft bed with three support points, then it is mounted between two walls or in the corner of the room. There are designs with a suspended mounting system; they are installed under the ceiling on special beams.
When installing the stairs, the dimensions of the users are taken into account; access to the lifting mechanism should be free and not restrict movements when descending; this will increase the safety of the structure, which is especially important for children's beds.
All connections must be made at right angles and secured with a supporting element. Corner modules are installed on the lower parts of the structure to increase the supporting characteristics of the bed.
Self-production
Before you start making your own loft bed, you need to decide on the type of its design.
Table 2. Types of structures.
Construction type | Description |
On four (or more) supports | This design is independent and self-sufficient, since it is not connected to the walls or ceiling. It can be installed anywhere in the room, even in the center. The supports ensure the reliability and stability of the attic bed. |
The structure is partially supported by the wall | The support for such a structure can be a load-bearing wall in the room. The flooring is supported by a beam horizontally screwed to the wall. The opposite part of the bed rests on posts. |
Ceiling mount | This method of fastening frees up the space under the bed as much as possible due to the lack of supports. But this method of fixing an attic bed can only be used if there is a reinforced reinforced concrete ceiling that can withstand a heavy load. |
Combined type of fastening | The bed is fixed by resting it on the walls and fixing it in one place to the ceiling. In the second case, you can fix one side of the bed to the wall, and the opposite two corners to the ceiling. |
The process of self-assembling an attic bed for adults occurs in several stages.
Stage 1: making a drawing
Having decided on the type of structure and the method of its fastening, we begin to develop a detailed drawing that will provide detailed information about the dimensions of the product, the quantity and dimensions of each part, and the methods of their fastening.
The drawing can be done in a special computer program
If the structure is not an independent object and will be fixed to the walls or ceiling, then the drawing shows its location in space, taking into account the free space near the bed, the location of switches and sockets, windows and doorways.
It is necessary to determine the size of the sleeping place based on the standard sizes of mattresses, so that in the future there will be no problems with purchasing the main attribute of any bed.
Adult mattress sizes
Stage 2: purchasing materials
The material for the manufacture of the frame in the case under consideration will be timber 50 x 150 mm. The structure will be attached to the wall on one side. If you plan to make a bed on four or more supports, then use a beam with a section of 100 x 100 mm.
Woodworking tools
To arrange the flooring, use a board measuring 25 x 100 mm.
To fix the parts together, it is recommended to use metal fittings in the form of plates, corners, rafter hangers, which are used for roofing and wooden house construction. Such accessories should be purchased not from a furniture store, but from a hardware store.
Roofing accessories
Nickel-plated screws are used as fastening elements - they hold more securely in the body of the wood and allow, if necessary, to easily disassemble the structure. Anchor bolts will be required to secure the support beam to the load-bearing wall.
Nickel plated screws
Stage 3: assembly of the structure
Table 3. Frame production.
Illustration | Description |
Step 1 | A support beam is fixed horizontally to the load-bearing wall. The spacing of the anchor bolts is 400 mm. |
Step 2 | Rafter hangers are attached to the support beam on the wall using screws or self-tapping screws to secure the cross beams. |
Step 3 | Using T-shaped metal plates, a structure is assembled from supports and a horizontal supporting beam. |
Step 4 | Opposite supporting elements are connected by transverse beams made of timber with a section of 50 x 150 mm. To do this, they are fixed in suspensions. |
Step 5 | The lags are fixed using self-tapping screws. |
Step 6 | It is not recommended to use a tongue-and-groove board for making flooring, since the flooring is monolithic, without gaps or cracks. |
Step 7 | To ensure ventilation of the sleeping area, experts recommend using a regular, straight board, fixed with a gap of 5-7 mm. |
Stage 4: making the stairs
To make the string of stairs and steps, timber with a minimum thickness of 30 mm is used. A timber that was used as a lag is suitable.
The string is trimmed to securely fix it at the top of the bed
On the outside of the string, using a building level, markings are applied so that the steps are located at the same distance.
The steps are fixed using self-tapping screws

A loft bed will be the optimal solution if there is a lack of living space. If necessary, you can convert the space under the attic, freeing up space or changing furniture.
Thanks to the variety of models, this bed will find its application in any interior.
