Kids just love bunk beds and for parents that's good news, as they are great space savers for those homes that are a little tight for room. Today, there are so many different designs of bunk beds to choose from that you're spoilt for choice. This really makes finding a model to suit your own needs easy.

Many Handy Andy's also like to construct their own, and it's relatively simple to make bunk beds for your kid's bedroom if you're a dab hand at the DIY. Bunk beds really are the ultimate solution to room space management but they can also bring warmth and style to a bedroom too, and are easily matched to fit with the décor in any bedroom.

But there is a more serious side to this practical bed, as every year thousands of children receive treatment for injuries associated with bunk beds and this is obviously of great concern to parents. Therefore, it's important to familiarize yourself with federal regulations and keep international safety standards in mind when purchasing loft beds or bunk beds for small or young children.

Once you're familiar with the safety rules and regulations of bunk beds, you are in a much better position to make an informed decision prior to purchase. If you want to build your own bunk beds, then you need to ascertain the best design and get sturdy materials and proper plans together prior to construction.

Although some Dad's (and occasionally Mum's), make their own designs for bunk beds, most folks go for bunk kits which include do-it-yourself instructions for building a bunk bed out of wood. At the end of the day, you not only want to put together a sturdy structure, but you also want the bunk bed to be comfortable for the kids. It's also important to note for those of you that want to create your own designs from scratch, that most safety risks are when the wrong-sized bunk bed mattresses are bought for the beds.

Another common design fault with DIY bunk beds is getting the dimensions wrong. Many kids complain that there's not enough head room between the bottom and top bunk. Also very important is that the lower bunk is able to hold your weigh without wavering the structure. Building bunk beds is not difficult for those adept at DIY, but it is easy to make mistakes if you do not consider the whole project before you begin.

There's a plethora of information around concerning bunk beds, their safety, the construction, and the best buys, so it's really easy to make the right choice if you take a little time out to do the research prior to purchase.

The right choice of beds in the right room makes bunk beds the ultimate solution to those families needing a little extra room in the house.
