Bunk beds are the undisputed stars of modern homes: they allow you to maximize every square inch, add character to the room, and adapt to a variety of furnishing styles.

Ready to revolutionize your space?
1. Why choose a bunk bed?
1.1 Space saving and smart organization
The vertical configuration of the bunk beds frees up valuable floor space for a study area, play area, or additional closet space. In Donnes Home bunk bed bedrooms , every element is designed to combine practicality and design: ladders with drawers, built-in shelves, foldaway desks, and wainscoting panels with LED lighting.
1.2 Versatility in bunk bed rooms
Whether it's a studio apartment in the city or a farmhouse by the sea, the versatility of a children's bunk bed extends to adults as well. Our models are tested up to 180 kg per bed and can be individually configured over time: the modular structure allows you to separate the levels to create two independent beds.
1.3 Safety and natural materials
All Donnes Home bunk beds are made of FSC beech or fir with water-based treatments. The 38 cm high safety barriers, rounded edges, and galvanized steel hardware ensure stability and safety for children and adults. Each product is EN 747-1:2012+A1:2015 certified.
2. Types of bunk beds available
2.1 3-seater bunk bed – the solution for large families
The three-person bunk bed combines a lower double bed (120 x 200 cm) with an upper single bed (90 x 200 cm), accommodating three people in less than four square meters. The side ladder serves as a spacious chest of drawers, and the intermediate platform can be transformed into a small bookcase.
2.2 Children's bunk bed with integrated desk
Perfect for homeschooling or completing homework, this model features a retractable desk underneath the upper bunk. The ergonomic seat folds flat, leaving ample space for walking when not in use.
2.3 Nordic style solid wood bunk bed
Clean lines, an open-pore finish, and pastel colors: this Scandinavian-style wooden bunk bed pairs well with white walls, light-colored parquet floors, and natural linen or cotton fabrics. Ideal for those who love a warm, minimalist atmosphere.
2.4 L-shaped or side-sliding bunk bed
In long, narrow rooms, L-shaped models allow the lower bed to be positioned perpendicular to the upper one, creating relaxation corners or study areas. Sliding models, on the other hand, allow the lower bed to slide under the upper one, completely freeing up the floor during the day.
3. Buying Guide: How to Choose the Right Bunk Bed
3.1 Dimensions and ceiling height
Measure the headroom from floor to ceiling: to ensure comfort and ventilation, you need at least 70–80 cm between the top mattress and the ceiling. In lower rooms, opt for medium-height loft versions, with a total height of 155–165 cm.
3.2 Load capacity and certifications
Ensure that the static load capacity per bed exceeds 110 kg for children and 150 kg for adolescents and adults. All Donnes Home models pass the stability, tip-over, and dynamic load tests required by European regulations.
3.3 Materials: why choose wood
Solid wood is strong, durable, and easily repairable. Compared to MDF, it emits fewer VOCs and provides a premium look. Matte finishes protect the surface without obscuring the natural grain.
3.4 Essential accessories
-
Removable safety sides – ideal for the early years and easily removable later.
-
Fabric bed pockets – perfect for books, stuffed animals or tablets.
-
Understairs LEDs – add low-energy nightlight.
-
Orthopedic mattresses h17 cm – recommended thickness to avoid reducing the protective edge.
4. Styling ideas for bedrooms with bunk beds
4.1 Color palette and wall decorations
Choose light tones (white, beige, silk gray) for walls and furnishings: they reflect light and make the space appear larger. Add themed wall stickers (maps, animals, constellations) to personalize the back wall of the upper bed.
4.2 Functional lighting
Install wall lights with adjustable arms on each level for independent reading. An LED profile under the upper bunk illuminates the lower area without glare.
4.3 Coordinated linen
Opt for duvet covers that match the drawers or ladder. For a triple bunk bed, choose complementary patterns: thin stripes for the lower double bed and a solid color for the upper bed.
5. FAQ about Donnes Home bunk beds
5.1 At what age is a bunk bed recommended for children ?
From 6 years old for the upper deck, while the lower bed can also be used by younger children if equipped with a reduced barrier.
5.2 Can I assemble the bed myself?
