How to Choose Bunk Beds for an Edwardian Semi

To choose bunk beds for an Edwardian semi, start by making the most of the generous ceiling height these homes often have, then select a frame whose style respects the period details: picture rails, sash windows, fireplaces and chimney breast alcoves. In this guide we explain what makes an Edwardian bedroom different and why measuring your own room matters, since many homes have been altered over the years. We look at using ceiling height to gain comfortable headroom, keeping ceiling lights and plasterwork clear, and why alcoves are usually better for storage than for the bunk itself. You will find advice on keeping sash and bay windows clear, choosing solid wood or painted timber frames in heritage shades, and using tall wardrobes and alcove chests to balance the room. We also cover uneven floorboards and older walls, solutions for the smaller box room, period colour schemes and the safety checks every bunk should meet....
