apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

These are sooo cool. I'm going to be fitting 3 boys in one room as soon as the two older (4.5 & 2.5) are mature enough to share a room with their little brother (7 mo). So, I may use some of these ideas.

soooo awesome! like lizzykewl, i will need to fit my three boys all in one room - when they outgrow their cribs. loft beds are my dream, to maximize the floor space, but i have a feeling we should start playing the lottery if we want something as cool as these.

wow! these are amazing! My husband and I have two boys and I've been forever searching for ideas like these. Same as you pyjammy, I've been dreaming of having a loft bed or something similar but I want to build my own :)

brilliant! love the use of space and the clean lines!

so where is this available in the US?

i just found out the collection is available at Roche-Bobois.

which greatly reduces the chances that i can afford any of this :-(

I love these ideas but it doesn't really work in homes with lower ceilings, like ours. Would it ?

i went to roche bobois and the salesperson said those setups cost $8000.

so stupid.

they're incredibly expensive, but it's free to steal the idea. find a carpenter in your town (or buy a couple of tools) and re-create the shape you like using high-quality plywood. pick the colors you like, do a little painting, and voila -- it'll look great and cost a fraction. i built something similar using a mixture of ikea components (for the doors, etc.) and my trusty plywood.

I grew up in the 70s and I guess my neighbors were so ahead of the times because the 2 girls shared a bedroom and they had a setup (built by their father) very similar to the yellow hued photo...closet underneath the higher bed. I was only 8 or 9 and thought it was the coolest thing...still do :)

i love this style so much!!
我超爱！！

love these beds! I recently built a loft room for my 14 yr old son. Tiramolla inspired me so much to think about design, keeping it compact but not crowded, making sure things fit together and provided a good view as you walk into the room. I used 2x6 pine and plywood, spent a fraction of what Tiramolla costs. It feels very college dorm-like to him.

The murphy beds are beautiful but expensive. Very very nice

It’s really interesting seeing how much more space we could have if we expanded vertically. I expect maybe in 40 years from now designs like this could be standard in many homes. Beds will always be raised up high to allow for more storage underneath, even a wardrobe for clothes etc or a work station. You can potentially double the size of a room by using vertical space, very clever :)
