The IKEA KURA Bed is loved by kids and parents alike. IKEA calls it the Reversible Bed and rightly so. The bed can be set up as a low bed or a high loft bed, giving you flexibility in arranging your kid’s room.
When your child is young use the IKEA KURA bed as a low bed. Then as they grow, you can now flip it into a loft bed and make use of the space beneath the bed as a play den, study area, or reading nook.
Made from solid pine wood with fiberboard panels, it’s the perfect candidate for creative IKEA KURA bed hacks. At the most basic, a lick of paint will change its looks to suit your room decor. Next, you can make the bed more functional by adding storage drawers beneath or a safety rail.
