9 Best & Most Stylish Bunk Beds for Kids

With a third on the way, I’m going to be moving two of my boys in with each other. We decided bunk beds are definitely the way to go, so I’ve been researching them like some people research cars. Bunk beds have come a long way since I was a kid, and are some great options out there for your room-sharing kiddos.

The factors I took into consideration when choosing a bunk bed for my kids were:

Safety: Other parents’ reviews and recommendations were important

Design: I mean, I have to look at them every day, too…

Cost: The average price seemed to hover around $1K, although I found a few options that were under $300. The downside of the cheaper options are that they require more assembly.

Fun factor: At the end of the day, my kids have to love it as much as I do

After an exhaustive search, here are some of my favorite bunk beds on the market today. Although I haven’t chosen our winner yet, I’ve narrowed the best choices down. You’ll surely find one that’s perfect for your family in the slideshow.

What’s your bunk-bed style? Budgeted and more DIY, or pricier and ready to go?

Most Stylish Bunk Beds

Perch Bunk Bed from Oeuf

Probably my favorite bunk bed from a design perspective is this modern Perch Bunk Bed from Oeuf ($1590). It is a bit out of my budget, but boy is it pretty to look at!
Camp Bunk Bed from Pottery Barn Kids

This Camp Bunk Bed from Pottery Barn Kids ($1499) might be my favorite classic option, and although it comes in three colors, this one is perfect for my boys' shared room.
Cargo Bunk Bed from The Land of Nod

The Cargo Bunk Bed from The Land of Nod ($1275) has a slanted ladder, which can make it easier to climb to the top bunk and can also be converted into two twin beds.
Twin Over Twin Bed from Amazon

This twin over twin bunk bed from Amazon ($238) is a very budget-friendly option that still has a classic appearance and can be converted into two twin beds as well.
Camden Low Bunk Bed from Pottery Barn Kids

I love this Camden Low Bunk Bed from Pottery Barn Kids ($1099) for those with smaller spaces or who are afraid to let the "top bunk kid" be too high up. It is a great, simple design as well.
Dune Buggy Twin-over-Twin Bunk Bed

What little boys wouldn't love to sleep in a car bunk bed? There are also other vehicle options like this Dune Buggy Twin-over-Twin Bunk Bed by Powell ($984).
NORDDAL bunk bed from IKEA

It's not a bunk-bed round-up without the NORDDAL bunk bed from IKEA ($199+). They have an unfinished version for $199 that is often DIYed and hacked into imaginative bunk-bed creations, but this finished one is $299. For me, the hassle of putting it together (have you heard the joke about the couple who divorced over assembling IKEA furniture?) isn't outweighed by the low price tag.
errace Bunk Bed from The Land of Nod

The Terrace Bunk Bed from The Land of Nod ($1700) is fun from top to bottom. I could so see sisters sharing this one and enjoying lots of playtime as well as sleep time. It's darling.
The Treehouse from Pottery Barn Kids

Another super fun bunk bed option is The Treehouse from Pottery Barn Kids ($1699). I mean, your kids will be fighting over who gets to sleep in the house top bunk, but they'll also probably spend hours playing in it, so I say it's worth it. Plus, IT'S A TREEHOUSE!
