IKEA MYDAL kids loft bed with play area

I have two small sons who share a bedroom. To get the maximum out of the room I wanted a kids loft bed in a corner where they could both sleep downstairs and thus have a playground on top.IKEA MYDAL kids loft bed with play area

How I hacked the kids loft bed with play area

The space on top serves as a playground and is also home to all the ever-expanding city of LEGO. The top of the bed also serves as an extra bed when the kids have friends on a sleepover. Another advantage of the bed is that there is plenty of space under the bed.

Step 1: Put up TROFAST storage combination.

Step 2: Put up the two MYDAL kids loft beds. Cut one of them so the bed is 2 meters in both directions. Screw it all together.

Step 3: Cut out some 19mm MDF boards, I cut out some circles so you can see in and the kids can see out of the bed.

Step 4: Paint it and put on laminate flooring on the loft. And voila! Your kids loft bed is done.
