Train beds to decorate the children's / youth room

What is a train bed? That is probably the first question that we should clarify. Train beds, unlike bunk beds, are those that are not placed symmetrically one above the other but rather overlap. In this way, and taking advantage of the gap between the two, extra space is generally used for storage.

Bunk bed or train bed, which one do I choose? Train beds are always a great option to decorate rooms with an elongated and narrow shape. In this type of room, the ideal is usually to place all the furniture in one of the walls; something to which the design of the tren beds contributes.

Bunk beds or train beds?

When you have limited space to create a shared bedroom, bunk beds and train beds become great options to make the most of the available space. While the bunk beds are characterized by presenting the beds in the same vertical, one on top of the other, the train beds present these beds slightly offset and overlapping.

While the bunk beds occupy the width of a bed, the train beds are lengthened to provide us with change extra storage space. The most convenient will be the one that best suits the characteristics of the bedroom. Bunk beds will take up less space but will require additional furniture for a functional room.

Train beds characteristics
