Loft bedrooms won’t suit every need and certainly, not every home. But they are a great way to gain a lot of extra space at a minimal cost. They use vertical space without incurring the overhead of floor space.
Most people are familiar with lofted bedrooms, but how many actually know what it takes to have this sort of bedroom? A lofted bedroom is an elevated bed that is built above a lower floor of the house such as living room, kitchen or a bathroom or compact bathroom and is connected to it.
This decor choice allows for more floor space, especially if the space underneath is completely open. Lofts can be accessed by using steps or a ladder. This bedroom design has been used for centuries.

A well-designed cabin or beach shack can have two, three, or even four sleeping lofts that still offer a degree of privacy without impacting on living space.
Here are some examples to get your mind into top gear…
