Rustic Bunk Beds

Buy the best rustic bunk beds selected and recommended by interior designers. By Eliza Bush.

If you don’t have enough space to sleep two, a rustic bunk bed is the ideal solution. Rustic loft beds are a good way to minimize the space you’re using. They will also fit in with most décor styles, from farmhouse fresh to something more on the modern side. Whatever your preference, a classic bunk bed in a rustic style will always look charming. To get you started, we’ve picked out a few of our favorites below.

Buying Guide

Several types of wood are used to make a rustic bunk bed, and the kind depends on personal preferences and safety. Ensuring all occupants are safe, no matter what antics they get up to, is paramount, and kiln-dried hardwood is the best wood for rustic bunk beds.

Oak, maple, cedar, or cherry are all durable wood choices for your rustic bunk beds.

Choosing kiln-dried wood is another way to enhance the durability of your rustic bunk beds. This type of wood is dried in a kiln to decrease the amount of moisture in it. This process helps harden the wood so that it won’t crack or splinter under a lot of stress, like lots of kids piling into the top bunk.

When styling your rustic bunk beds, feel free to lean into warm, deep forest colors such as deep brown, maroon, and evergreen. The sheets should be either white, cream, or one of these dark colors; the quilts should be in these dark colors and could even feature bear or tree silhouettes for some cabin-chic flair.

We’d go even further with this theme by purchasing a plush stuffed animal for each bed that fits the forest vibe, such as a moose or a bear. Finally, we’d place a small retractable light on the side of the bed, clipped on to the frame just above each head to allow for easy, targeted reading lighting.
