Bunk Room Design Ideas from Our Malibu Beach House

One of our biggest goals in renovating Zuma Beach House is to make it a place for family and friends to gather – a place to spend long weekends, summer vacations, and holidays with the people you love most. Additionally, the completed house has a relatively small footprint, so every inch can be used efficiently. Each room is designed with equal consideration for beauty and functionality.

In today’s post, we’ll be sharing our vision (and renderings) for a chic and clean bunk room – a space where the whole family can sleep comfortably while staying cohesive with the Japandi-inspired aesthetic of the rest of the house.

This room may be small, but it’s one of the hardest working spaces in your home. Adam and I designed a simple, low-profile bunk bed system made from white oak with clean lines and a low-profile headboard. It’s structured enough to hold a book and lean on it without it feeling bulky or heavy. One set of berths consists of two twins stacked on top of each other. The other set has a queen in the lower berth and a twin in the upper berth, accommodating a total of 5 guests. Each bed has bronze wall sconce It adds soft light for reading, and the entire palette remains warm, textured, and natural.

The design of the bathtub started with a very specific vision for the tiles that would cover the walls inside the bathtub.
