If you live in a smaller home you have to be more creative with your use of space to provide a layout in the various rooms that works well. A good way of doing this in a bedroom, especially in one for an older child, is to use a metal loft bed. This is a style of bed that the majority of kids will like and it can easily be used in a smaller room to provide more floor space.
For those unaware of the style, a metal loft bed is designed in a similar style to that of bunk beds. However with a loft bed the lower bunk is removed. Typically it will have a ladder leading up to the higher bed level where an older child can sleep. The bed will usually have guard rails around it for safety to stop someone falling out.
A major benefit of the metal loft bed style is that the space below the bed is free for other use. While many of the beds on the market come with only free space below them, others are set up for a particular purpose. Some have a desk space set up below them and this can be ideal for a student as the desk space provides a place to work. Other loft beds can come with storage space, drawers or cabinets below them. Others still can be set up with comfortable seating areas. There is a wide selection to choose from and if space is at a premium in the bedrooms in your home the loft bed set up can be a good choice.
Typically a metal loft bed will be made of steel. While this can be an attractive look there are many that are produced with a powder coating which comes in a number of colors. Whatever the décor of your home therefore it is possible to find a loft bed in metal that will fit in. They are typically contemporary looking and can bring a modern look to a bedroom. Metal is also a durable and hard wearing material so is ideal in a kid’s room where it should be able to cope with the use it will get and last a long time.
If the metal loft bed style is something that you would like to use in your home there are a few companies that manufacture these. Room Doctor Furniture Company is one of these and they produce the Black Desk Loft with Futon Chair. This is manufactured in sturdy metal with a built in ladder and corner desk. It also comes with a desk and futon chair. This is one of the more expensive loft beds on the market at around $670.
If you are looking for a more affordable loft bed manufactured from metal one of the companies to consider is Walker Edison. They produce a loft bed from metal with free space below which is finished with a powder coating in black or white. This bed costs around $220 to purchase. Other manufacturers of metal beds in the loft style include the Coaster Furniture Company and Powell Company.
The metal loft bed style can be a good set up for a child’s bedroom. Most kid’s will find it a fun style of bed and the fact that it provides space below it for other purposes can be a major advantage in a smaller room. For this reason it can be a good piece of furniture to use in your home.
