In today’s post, we are sharing ideas and inspirational ways to decorate bunk beds in your home. Bunk beds have been a way of life in beachside cottages with limited space for many years. The early beach cottages at the turn of the previous century were smaller homes with limited space. As an alternative to renting more than one beach cottage, many beach homes added built-in bunk beds. These beach homes could accommodate larger families and family groups.

In more recent times and in larger homes today, bunk beds have made their way into more coastal homes. Since they can accommodate a larger number of overnight family gatherings. And as you’ll soon see, there are many ways to style a bunk bedroom. Including the use of marine, nautical, ocean life, or beach accents to create your own specially styled family bunk bed interior.
Some homeowners love the idea of bunk beds since they too grew up in a home with bunk beds. Maybe you grew up sleeping in a bunk bed as a kid and have fond memories of those days. Now is the time to relive those moments of sleeping in a bunk bed with these ideas for creating your own bunk bedroom. Take a look at our inspirational coastal bunk bed ideas.

Give it a Porthole Window – Inspirational Coastal Bunk Beds
Install a porthole window next to every bunk bed. Make it feel like you are on a boat or cruise ship with nautical sheets and colors.
Use Nautical Rope Details
Substitute rope for the handrails and ladder leading up to the top bunker. Toss in a few pillows with rope details as well. We love the different blues in this room.
Add a Rustic Coastal Feel
Although, this setup isn’t near the beach it makes for a great rustic style. The natural wooden bunk beds work well in a coastal setting.
Light it Up
Turn on the nautical cage-covered sconce for nighttime reading. Not to mention, the berth-type privacy curtains for each bed. We love those bright yellow toss pillows for a pop of color. Designers think of everything!
Keep the Oars Ready – Inspirational Coastal Bunk Beds
Use oars as decor in your bunk bedroom. Follow up with cheery sunshine yellow bedding. And you’ll have happy overnight guests that may not want to leave the following morning!
Show your Love of Sea Life
A shark, in this case, that is Bruce the shark! Add visual interest to the bunk bedroom with sea life. There are so many sea life accessories to choose from. You can find starfish, shells, octopus, fish, and many more sea life accents.
Celebrate the Beginning of Summer Using Bunting
Create a space for play and rest in this bunk bedroom. All in neutral colors. Add bunting to your space to celebrate the beginning of the Summer season.
Cover a Wall with a Tropical Ocean Mural
Give your room visual appeal with a wall-size mural. This black and white ocean mural stands out among the brightly colored linens. As a bonus, the steps have drawers for extra storage with boat cleat pulls. A clever design.
