Question

We rent a house, so I can't add shelves and stuff. I want to put my writing pad and books up there without sleeping on top off them. What can I do?

Community Answer

If you can't install shelves, you can buy a bunk shelf that is held in place at the side of your bunk between the mattress and your bed frame. Also, some shelves clip onto narrow surfaces, like the edge of your bed. These might also work.

Question

I have a top bunk and I share a room with my sister. How do I make my bed more private permanently because my mom doesn't allow forts?

Community Answer

Add a privacy curtain or hang up a light, solid colored fabric. Or you could explain to your mother that you value your privacy and would appreciate something that helps block out noise and lights so you won't bother each other.

Question

How can I make my top bunk more girly and more organized? I can't put a curtain or a hanging tray.

Community Answer

You should add string lights, posters, and some girly pillows. Just ask your parents first.

Question

What if you have a shelf but it is a lot higher than your top bunk?

Community Answer

If your shelf is higher than your bunk, it might not be a safe place to store things. However, you may be able to reach it with a grabber arm, which can be bought at stores like Walmart and Target.

Question

What if I wanted privacy, but my parents won't let me have a rail and curtain on the roof?

Community Answer

Try hanging a sheet instead. Just use some thumbtacks and pin it to the ceiling.

Question

What if my parents don't let me install any shelves and what if they don't let me have any thing close to you at night, but I really want to?

Community Answer

Ask them, try to make a compromise. Maybe get a little stand you can add on your bed.

Question

How can I make my top bunk cool if I can't get new stuff?

Community Answer

Try to make something out of your own things, like, if you have old small toy dinosaurs, you can attach them to string and hang it on the ceiling with thumbtacks or tape.

Question

Is it safe to put lights on my ladder for my bunk bed?

Community Answer

You could probably wrap fairy/Christmas lights around the outside of the ladder, but you don't want lights or anything on the actual rungs, because you could step on them and break the lights, hurt your foot, or both.

Question

If I load my bed with pillows, do I throw them off at night so I can sleep?

Community Answer

Just move them to the foot of the bed and or to the side you don't have to load it up. Three to four pillows will work best.
