Boys room by TUBU Kids

The Ikea Kura bed is even more versatile than you might imagine. You can paint it, add a canopy, wallpaper, garland…and also use plywood to build something custom (what do you think about making some pull-out drawers or build a little forest house?).

The Kura bed is reversible, and it can be used as a bunk bed, a loft bed, or just one bed on the bottom. Its low profile means it’s perfect for small spaces and toddlers. But you can even put two Kuras in one room and sleep 3 or 4 kids!

Here’re some creative ideas for customizing and hacking your Kura bed.
