Lofting your bed is one of our favorite design ideas for a small bedroom or even a studio apartment. Doing so reduces the amount of space your bed takes up, provides additional living or working space underneath the bed, and introduces lots of storage (in some cases). Lofting a bed could mean finally getting that chic home office setup you’ve been dreaming of or adding a sleeper sofa for weekend guests.

Your room will be filled with light in no time (when you want it to be).

You’ll wish you thought of this sooner, and it won’t cost you much floor space either.

Not just for toddlers.

Starting at just $87!

It's the key quick weeknight dinners, too.
