Double Deckers!
Having quadruplets is probably not in the books for many of us (thank goodness!). But that doesn’t mean you can’t have two sets of bunkbeds. These wall-mount beds are the perfect arrangements for slumber parties! Your kids can invite their little buddies over and you won’t have to worry about setting up a tent in the backyard to accomodate everyone.

The above style looks like something taken out of a storybook. It is imaginative and very personal. Little nightlight accents in each of the cubicles illuminate the room with a delicate shine. When it is bed time and when the lights go off, your kids can still enjoy a bit of personal time without disturbing their siblings.

The unique outline of the facade of the bunk bed style above is gentle and loving, perfect for girls with an American-Girl style. A simple white ladder connecting the bottom and top portions is a subtle accent. Anything larger than this would outweigh the overall design of the room.
