Most families find that space is always a constraint if they children in their house. You find your kids playthings, books, shoes scattered all over the room and house. Hence most parents prefer a bunk bed for their kids rooms. A bunk bed will give their bed a modern and stylish appearance. Besides that, it also provides more space for them to play, study and relax. If you want to buy a bunk bed, first measure the actual space in the bedroom so that you can get the right size that will leave enough space all round and the top too.
You have different types of bunk beds to choose from the basic bed that comes with twin sized mattresses stacked one above the other; the model with twin mattresses on top with a double or single equivalent at the bottom; loft beds that have the bed space on top with space at the bottom to accommodate a study table or storage space to keep toys and books. The type of bunk bed you need depends on the number of similar age kids you have and the number of bedrooms. Loft bed is an ideal choice if you have only one kid as it provides bottom space that can be used in multiple ways.
Some bunk beds also have space under the bed to accommodate a trundle bed, which is extremely useful for sleepovers. You can also make your choice between wooden or metal bunk beds. Remember that the design and color must match the room décor. You must first teach your kids, if they are small, how to use the ladder to climb to the top bunk. Buy the bunk bed that comes with railings for the top bunk so that your child will not fall off. If your kids are old enough, give them a free hand to choose their own bunk bed and make it a fun, family outing.

People living in apartments usually prefer platform bed frames. These bed frames are raised off the ground and provide plenty of storage space under the bed. This space can used to store drawers, small shelves, suitcases, boxes etc., if they want the space to be neat, they can opt for drawers that can be attached to the bed frame or come with small wheels. People usually store winter clothes, shoes, books, bed linen and such underneath.
Captains bed is one of the most efficient and elegant bed frame designs. It helps to de-clutter a bedroom and allows people to lead an organized and tidy life. Captain's Beds were first designed to be used on board a ship in the captains cabin. Since the Captain was away at sea for many months, he used to take along many of his personal possessions that needed storage space. This style was later introduced to cater to needs of people living in apartments and confined spaces.
The following are some of the Captain's Bed styles available:
   Nautical
   Contemporary
   Cottage
The nautical style is the original Captain's Bed model with antique beautiful designs. Most people prefer this mainly because the very term Captain's Bed denotes the sea and ship. Later they were given a contemporary touch to make it more compact and sleek to suit an urban environment. Country style homes can have the cottage style Captain's Bed with white washed finish and louvered, decorative designs.
For most people, the bedroom is the place where they spend the most time relaxing, reading, watching TV and of course sleeping. For teenagers, it is the place where they spend almost all their time talking to friends, chatting on the computer and such. Contemporary bedroom furniture is the popular choice amongst the urban population. Contemporary furnishings are sleek and modern and you can get entire bedroom sets that complement each other. The choice of whether you opt for a platform, four-poster or sleigh bed really depends on the space and personal preference.
For married couples the ideal choice is canopy bed frames that come in many colors and designs. This four-poster bed can be made from wood or metal with even leather attachments to add elegance. The canopy posts will be attached to the four posts from which beautiful drapes can be hung. Canopy bed frames give an ancient charm and beauty to a bedroom while providing privacy too.
