A trundle bed requires more floor space.
To save space, try a set of regular bunk beds. For wardrobe, use pull-out storage baskets under the lowest bed. Rather than a desk, books or office supplies, try a handheld computer. Rather than a table lamp, try a wall or floor lamp.
Rather than a desk, try a clip board while sitting on a bed, in a chair or on the floor.
Thanks Di, always love your ideas
Great idea! You can definitely modify this to your own personal preferences.
Thanks for your comment Dianelle
Our family had almost that exact bed. However we sold it because it was too tall for our boys ceiling only(7′ 8″). Forget about a ceiling fan. As already mentioned the trundle requires a lot of clean floorspace. It’s a good space saving bed but really needs a large room to be enjoyed fully.
there is one of these already built exactly as pictured as above for 250.00 at the lakeland FL salvation army .. just in case anyone in central Florida is interested. I saw it today and it was very well built!
Awesome – thanks for letting us know!
It would be perfect for my sons room, but with Christmas 10 days away his captain’s bed will have to do lol .. thanks for posting! as you know i love browsing the site! i may have sold my tiny home but will always have a huge place in my heart for one and will build another sometime soon! Thanks again!
