When floor space is tight, a bunk bed can be the single most useful piece of furniture in the home, but only if it is chosen with care. This guide sets out what small space dwellers should look for in a bunk bed, whether you are furnishing a box room for two children, a compact flat, a guest room that doubles as a study or a shared house.
