Queen Loft Bed with Desk for a Small Bedroom

How to make a Queen Loft Bed with Desk for a Small Room
A friend of ours recently purchased a new home for his family. The floor layout is nicely done, but the bedrooms are a little smaller than they are use to. So they asked if I could build their daughter a loft bed that would hold her Queen-size mattress.
This is a total custom design that fits their needs and can be easily copied and modified to fit your needs.

It was great to see a project that did not require drilling into the wall!

for real, my walls are made of paper basically

[@thepastelk7429]

For everyone asking why she has such a big bed, not every family is rich enough to get their kids the bed they need. We got hand me down beds from them or family, after we grew out of our toddler phase. It's very common to just happen to get it, more than on purpose. And even if it's not on purpose, mattresses last a while. With her age, she will have a bed to take with her when she moves out, which as a parent, is very comforting.

[@gabrielgomescunha]

BS! A single is much cheaper than any other size

I was raised by my grandma who wasn't by any means at all rich and she bought me a pillow top queen sized bed for my 13th birthday that is still in perfect condition at 27 so yeah, I totally agree with you. She did me a kindness that has benefited me for over 10 years, well worth it if you ask me.

I've always wanted one of these beds. I have a small room and one of these would be great for me

[@pshaskins1]

Awesome build. Thanks for sharing

[@chrishad95]

I know this video is around 3 years old now, but I want to warn folks that when you put a loft bed in a room with a ceiling fan, you should consider moving the fan mount out away from the bed so that people in the bed won't be struck by the spinning fan if they forget that its there. My daughter got hit in the face with the ceiling fan in her sister's room. The fan blade hit her about an inch away from her eye. The fan was moved shortly afterward.

[@kaelawho194]

I love this I got my loft bed yesterday and put it together today love the tutorial 😀

[@mavenmommy2929]

Sweet build! I love loft beds and they are fun for kids too, especially when their space is already limited. It's a great way to do "double-duty" in a small space. 😀

[@rockyjjones8989]

What a great idea for a smaller kids room. It opens it up even though it is a smaller room. Even if you had bought one of similar style you would have had to assemble it piece by piece. Great work. I like it.

[@SpecificLove7]

Thank you very much

[@1977logitech]

I'd recommend somehow securing those slats. Even under the weight of the mattress, they can slide around and create support gaps. You could screw them to the cleat or staple some webbing across them to maintain proper spacing.

[@charliem.7492]

Pretty sure I saw the screws in the slats. I doubt very much he's going to let something that important slide, knowing there could be risk involved.

[@raulavila3376]

Thanks for posting this vid. Just created one for my daughter using your method. I would say that for the slats, upgrade to maple as they're much stronger and won't flex like pine.

Very true. At the moment she is small enough to squeeze through but I will talk with parents about modifying.

He mentions the lumber needed in the begining of the video build and a queen Matt is 60x80. Good luck

[@sjlarue1]

Great build great video the only problem I have is it the windows are not accessible which could be an issue with fire codes. If that's her only way out other than a stairwell or the front door...or that is the only way the fire department can get to her in an emergency, then alternate plans, or modifications need to be made.

[@SpecificLove7]

Very true, thank you

My Fiancée and I have recently moved in with her parents to save up money to buy their house in a few years time when they're ready to move. We only have one room to store the majority of our stuff. We've got a queen size bed with a traditional frame, a three seat couch and two dressers, no closet. As somebody who enjoys my video games occasionally for some downtime as I'm not interested in TV much at all, I am trying to figure out how to gain more space to set up a desk. I got to thinking today about a loft bed, and after a quick search online discovered I don't want to pay $2000 for a flimsy looking steel one. DIY it may be
