Built-In Bunk Beds for Kids, Teens, and Adults: One Design, Endless Possibilities

Bunk beds aren’t just a childhood staple anymore - they’re having a serious design moment. Whether you're trying to squeeze more sleep space into a vacation home or just want to make bedtime a little more fun, built-in bunk beds are a smart (and stylish) solution for every age group.

For the Kids: A Cheerful Bunk Room Built for Sleep and Play

Cape Associates recently brought major charm to a kid-focused bunk room that’s equal parts practical and playful.

“Comfort, functionality, and capacity were all goals for this bunk room,” says Matthew H. Cole, president and CEO of Cape Associates. Translation: it had to work hard and look great.

The result? Built-in bunks with secret storage in the stairs and drawers under the bottom beds, personal reading lights, book nooks, and a full wall of chalkboard paint for doodles and daydreams. It's a space that encourages imagination, independence, and maybe - just maybe - a little quiet time.

Where dreams are stacked and creativity climbs the walls (literally). These custom kids’ bunk beds are built for sleep and play.

And Yes - We Do Grown-Up Bunks, Too

While this featured space was built with kids in mind, Cape Associates also designs custom bunk rooms for teens and adults. Think bigger beds, sleek finishes, and extra privacy - without sacrificing the fun or the functionality.

Need a teen retreat with charging ports and personal lights? Done. Want a guest room that sleeps four adults without looking like a summer camp? We’ve got you.

• Options for older bunk rooms can include:

  
  

• Full or queen-size built-in bunks

  
  

• Privacy curtains or panels

  
  

• USB ports, shelves, and reading lights

  
  

• Sophisticated finishes like shiplap or reclaimed wood

Big Ideas, Small Footprints

Across the design world, built-in bunk beds are popping up in ski homes, beach houses, and even urban spaces. Designers are getting creative with how to stack sleep in style—proving that bunk beds aren't just for kids (or cramped spaces) anymore.
