Bunk Rooms
Not just for kids, built-in bunk beds offer fun and function in a compact space. Including a bunk room in a house that sees a lot of visitors makes good square-footage sense. "We utilize all of the little niches," says Brian Bosgraaf, president of design/build firm Cottage Home. They can provide a cubby for a suitcase, a reading nook under the eaves, or drawers beneath the beds for extra blankets. But the most important thing to remember, adds builder Brad Howard, is to "buy the mattress before building the bed."
