IKEA Kura Bed Hacks
1. The Most Awesome IKEA Kids Bed Ever
We featured this bed in a previous post, but we just had to share it again!
This bed is made up of 3 different pieces of IKEA furniture, all combined to make a loft bed with a slide down to the kid’s room. So, your child could either use the little ladder or the slide to get out of bed in the morning. With the bookshelf and storage unit, the bed also has built-in storage for all of your kid’s books and toys.
2. Minimalist Castle IKEA Bunk Bed
For a toned down look, this simple castle bunk bed is perfect! Instead of a traditional bunk bed, this setup features one bed on the ground and one lofted above a play space. There are also spots for your kids’ books so your kids can read in bed before they go to sleep!
You can fill the play space with anything you like, and theme the entire structure around your kids’ tastes. The best part about having a minimalistic castle bunk bed is that you can use accessories to change the theme whenever! Painting kids’ furniture with chalkboard paint or whiteboard paint will allow them to draw and express their creativity by changing the look of the furniture. If you want to learn about more uses of chalkboard paint, check out this article.
3. IKEA Loft Bed with a Climbing Wall
If you have a particularly active child, this IKEA kids bed hack is ideal for them. It starts off with a basic loft bed, but there is a piece of wood attached that your kid can climb up as if it’s a climbing wall.
You can add storage underneath to create a bit of a play area under the loft bed. When your kid gets older, you could even add a desk underneath to create a teen study zone.
