Whether you're outfitting rooms for siblings or expanding your floor space, or accommodating a large family bunk beds can make excellent use of small spaces. Be on the lookout for things like stairs that protrude out, angled ladders and slides.
It's not a good idea to hang anything on the top bunk since it can be strangulation risk.
Ladders
Getting into the top bunk of a bunk bed could be a challenge for kids and adults as well. While some may be enticed to climb up, this is dangerous for older people, youngsters or those who have joint problems. Ladders are a great solution to avoid this risk and provide a safe, comfortable and easy-to-climb entry point for children.
There are a range of ladder options available for bunk beds for kids, including straight and angled ones. Straight ladders are attached directly to the frame of the bunk bed and angled ladders extend out slightly from either side. Angled ladders are an excellent choice for short spaces and are easy to use for anyone of all ages since they provide more foot space to climb up the bunk. Ladders are also available in different styles and colors so you can pick one that matches the style of your room or matches the color scheme of your bunk.
Another alternative is to choose a bunk bed with stairs at the end of the bunk. Stairs take up more space than a ladder, but they do not extend from the side of the bunk making them a great option for rooms with plenty of floor space. Many bunk beds for kids that have stairs also come with cubbies that double as bed storage, ideal for storing toys, books and pajamas.
If you're looking to save money, a straight staircase is a cheaper option for bunk beds. Although it might not be as durable as a stair set a straight ladder is still safe and sturdy enough for children of all different ages to use. Stairs however, are a bit more expensive, but they are also extremely versatile and can be used by children of all stages of development as they get older.

The Billi-Bolli Slide Tower is another option for adding a slides to a bunkbed. The Tower is affixed to the short side of the bed, which can reduce the room depth for a bunk bed with a slide by about 70 cm (depending on assembly height). This allows you to put a slide for your kids into rooms that wouldn't normally be suitable for this type of bed.
